I have the aluminum cover on my 93' I think it looks better. But harder to find the ccv grommets for them. Have to order them.
But they do look cooler when you pop the hood!

What about the new ones that vendors are selling. Do they use older style grommets?

How right is my serpentine belt supposed to be? I replaced it this weekend while changing my alternator.
Everything works fine and well until I stop at a stop light or something. I stop and I notice my voltage drops. And when I begin to accelerate I notice a little squeeking and then it goes away quickly. I'm assuming it is something with the belt.
On a side note I for some reason took off the idler pulley to remove the belt at first, not knowing I could have just adjusted the Pulley up and down... Could either of these be my problem? The belt has about 1/4-1/2 inch play if I just push on it with moderate effort.

Okay thanks, I'll jump out and tighten it before class. And if not a tensioner than what would it be referred too? I have a 96 and to adjust it I just have to mess with a long 15mm bolt with a stopper in the middle. That stopper is where the idler puller bolts in to.

I mentioned that as options for the radiator slots on mine. Sorry for the confusion.

The shroud I bought is 52027501AC and it doesn't fit. There is an 52027501-AC and 52027501-AB. Not sure what the difference is. Both claim to work on all cherokees.
Yeah that is the shroud I have. Mine is an OEM in the box part.

Got any ideas where I can get a 27 tooth speedo gear for my Cherokee? I have a 89 ax15 and np231 swapped in.
Also I can lock my doors and hatch with my key but not unlock. The key is orignal and extremely worn. Can I pull a cylinder and have a new key cut or replace tumblers and key all a round?
