Hello, I've heard that the 1996 Cherokees had the fuel pressure regulator built into the fuel pump, and that new units are unavailable. Does anyone know if this is true, and know where I might find one? Thanks, John

Can anyone point me in the right direction of someone who has modified their 4.0l and the gains they got? Thanks.
I've looked on Google already...

A lot. Unless you're very handy with a welder and have bits of steel lying around (in otherwords, could just make your own if you felt like it) it's not worth it.

What kind of modifications? Stickers or forced induction?

Tip: look for the word "stroker"

I need help.. I went to wire a fan up to a new Single stage electrical fan controller. It came with a thermostat control switch that I screwed into the spot where the coolant temperature sensor went. Thinking I would just cut the wires and tie it altogether. Thinking I was done and the new thermostat control would operate both fans and send the right signal to run and went to crank my heep. And now I have no spark. I'm lost. I think I've tested everything but im missing something cuz I still have no spark. Fuel good. Cps new. She was running just fine till I started this Project.
