Don't be so sure. Some mornings the wife has commented I'm as useful as a Down's in an engineering firm. I barely recognize my cat until the brain wakes up.

I just bought an 01 Cherokee sport. I just found out about the cyl head issues as well. I noted that the new ride had a new head on it also. I asked the seller about it and he said it was a new head, I looked for the 0331 stamp and the tupi stamp in the locations mentioned in the cracked cyl head thread and there were no markings. Only a small plate that said "mexico" on it with another small plate with random #'s, both on the passenger side center. Does anyone have any experience with this type of head? Do I still need to worry about the cracking happening with the 0331 heads?

I broke the bolt off in the metal sleeve of my leaf spring. How can I get it out? If I can't where can I get a new sleeve to press in.

I recently bought a jeep cherokee sport 2001 4x4. Car ran pretty good for a while until recently the check engine light came on due to a misfire. When i start the car sometimes the car begins to shake, when it does this i simply leave the car alone for a little and when i come back it starts up just fine, what could be causing the misfire to happen only sometimes and not all the time? I need some suggestions

Have you checked the spark plugs? Engine oil? Just do a tune up, I forgot which plugs the 4.0 likes best.
