Know what really wears out keys and ignition tumblers? Huge frickin key chains that weigh 14 pounds.

Beats them to death.
My daughter's hate when I get on them about their key chains. Replaced to many ignition cylinders because of that!

I remember at the dealership having to tell the gals to ditch the bull nose ring with the charms, keys to everything they ever owned, the hula girl deal etc.

Ok I have two intermittent problems that are probably related. Every couple of days my jeep will hesitate whenever I press the gas pedal no matter how fast I'm going, I feel like this is my throttle position sensor. The other problem has only happened twice, to start the car I have to press all the way down on the gas and turn it over for a long time and keep it revved to 2000 else it will die. This happens after about 5 minutes of driving and I just have to pull over and reset my ecu and it runs great.

I have cleaned out the throttle body and iac recently.

I have a 96 Cherokee, manual, 4.0

I'll post since I am mobile and can't start a new thread. I want to do a dual e-fan conversion. What cfm do the stock fans pull? I have seen where people either approve or disapprove. Or should I get a 15" fan to bastard fit into the mech fan shroud? Regardless I will be replacing the stock 91 fan with the the better 97+ fan.

Thanks. For reference, I don't do any water crossing and the Ford Taurus fan is out of the question.

Sounds similar to Coolant Temperature Sensor failure. Unplug the CTS. If the problem goes away, replace the CTS.

How much does the rear axle loose / gain in length during wheel travel? Reason I'm asking is that new driveshaft I picked up, and I'm wondering how much spline travel I should have left on the slip yoke @ the transfer case. Any easy way to figure this out with geometry? I imagine the rear axle has a relatively easy path since it doesn't have control arms
