Tires have been balanced 3 times, and it did the exact same noise with the old tires. New u-joints in the rear driveshaft, new u-joints in the front driveshaft + a new centering ball assembly, new u-joints in the front axle shafts, new front hub bearing assemblies, good alignment.... 99% sure its coming from the front end, the only thing I can think of is the front driveshaft being out of balance or a bad bearing in the front axle. At this point in time Im going to drive it until something breaks, however It would be nice to have an idea.

Is this normal or is something wrong?
I bought a 1999 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 Auto 4x4 back about 5 months ago and all has been going well with it so far.
The jeep seems to run great and shift smooth and firm but when I'm driving down the road and the speed limit happens to be between 40-50mph it just seems to me that the transmission it over working its self shifting from 3rd to lock up 3rd.This is what it does......driving down the road I come up on 40mph and as soon as it hits 41mph the torque converter locks up but the problem is that if I'm not going over 50mph when I let off the gas it unlocks and goes back to "normal" 3rd then when I go to get back in to the gas if I barely press the pedal it stays in "normal" 3rd but when I press it just a bit more(maybe 1/8 the way) it shifts back to "lock up" again.Maybe its just me being new to the Cherokee or something but it seems to me that the trans is over working its self or something or maybe this is normal
?
Things I have tried to do to "fix" it- changed the trans filter and fluid,put a new radiator in it cause it had a small leak anyways(thought maybe it was a bit clogged where the trans go into it causing a problem),adjusted the kick down cable just like the factory says to.New TPS.
So is it just me thinking something is wrong or is it just a "Jeep Thing"?

Quick question on full width swap. Where do most people go to get brackets and steering stuff for a ford 44 and 9" getting axles soon but not sure where to get brackets. Plan on keeping coils and leafs

Power Window
I have a 96 cherokee sport. The driver window will roll down but not back up.I tried pulling it up while someone else is operating the power button. All other windows operate properly.
Will this fix my problem???

They are identical.
I have the exact same one on both of my 93s, my 98 and the 88 that I had...
