What is a vacuum collector? You mean the reservoir? The tube for it runs along the passenger fender and firewall. There's a T at the cruise servo.

I just relocated mine to under the coolant pressure bottle. I had several cracks along the old line set path. Its also a good idea to do if you plan on running an aftermarket bumper. I have the larger vacuum canister, it fits, but its tight.

Hear is a question for any gear head on here, How many and what are the part numbers for the front suspension control arms, track bars of a '90 Cherokee, 4.0 4WD. Seemsd like nobody but Quadratec list a whole set, salty but it's a whole set, don't realy need the rear spring one yet but sure could use the front set. It creaks and pops almost as bad as me when I get up from a chair. LOL

Check the temp with a scanner. If that checks Out then I ll try to burp it before checking thermostat

Is it possible to not put in enough coolant? I've had it sitting for the past 15 minutes off and the overflow tank is empty and i put in some more coolant in these last couple minutes

I filled radiator (what appeared to be) full and put some into overflow tank. Ran for a couple minutes temp went up and overflow stayed at same level until it sat off for 15 minutes and cooled down. I'm slowly working more coolant into the radiator right now

Squeeze the top radiator hose as u fill up, it should help purge the air out. Then have engine running with cap off and wait for bubbles to stop coming out then cap it

this link will bring you to the page that sells control arms, both upper and lower with bushings: http://www.quadratec.com/category/Je.../121/index.htm Front Upper #56015.005, Front Lower #56015.001

this link will bring you to the track bar that fits your rig. in the picture it has a bushing and TRE so i believe its good to go: http://www.quadratec.com/products/918205_03.htm #918205.03

curious about a couple things, though. what whole set do you refer to and can you clarify what you mean by "the rear spring one".
