I don't have carpet anymore and my exhaust heats up the floor like crazy. It's not unreasonably close compared to stock. Any recommendations to fix this?

Go to sites like Summit Racing or Jegs. They have this peel and stick thermo-barrier sheets that race car drivers use to help keep their temps down.

I've installed 4 Putco harnesses over the last couple of years. Not one glitch. The relays must be mounted so that no moisture can get in them and the grounding points for the harness must be scraped to bare metal.
My theory on the relays is that they get hot due to poor grounding. Just a guess.

Ordering one now...

Also I hear they don't have rust in GA. Maybe some sheet metal as a heat shield underneath?

Thanks. I had been considering it, but didn't know if I wanted to go that route.

I tried searching but had no luck. I have a 1990 Cherokee it will crank I can hear fuel pump prime but have no fuel in the fuel rail. I have no idea what it could be. Any help is appreciated. Its a 90 with a 4.0

X2 on the filter, if still a no go verify your pump is working. Then physically inspect the entire lengths of your lines to verify there is no pinches or breaks in it. Then disconnect your hard lines from the pump and rail. Try blowing them out to make sure there is no trash stuck on it hindering flow.

Oil shoots up onto the underside of the hood, seemingly when I put the vehicle into reverse.. the oil spot is above the air intake hose which is also covered with oil. it hits the motor which burns it and smoke come out momentarily from under the hood. has this happened to others?
