Can I bypass the a/c with a smaller serpentine belt? If I do this do I have to disconnect anything or is it a plug-n-play???
If you don't want the AC then you might consider replacing it with on board air.

On the 4.0L engine you CANNOT bypass the a/c pulley location with a smaller belt. You either need to replace the a/c compressor, or install a bypass pulley.

There is no possible configuration where a smaller belt's routing would turn the accessories in the correct direction.

What is the best fix for low oil pressure on my 91 cherokee laredo? When it first starts up I have great oil pressure but after 20 minutes or so it goes down to 20psi. Why is that?

So I want to run a locker in a c8.25 I've been told a full carrier locker is the way to go but its a trails jeep that will see pavement to get to the trail. Would a lunch box locker work for my needs? Also the jeeps only going to see mud and water

18-20psi is normal for a idle when warmed up
should be around 60psi when cold and when driving
