Need to replace the Water Temperature gauge in my XJ dashboard. What years are common to the 1996?

1984 - 2001?

I think 87-96 but I could be wrong.

I'm planning to install a Tranny Cooler on my 99 4.0 Automatic Transmission.

Which line is the return line?

I've ordered from both partsgeek and Rockauto on numerous occasions. I check both every time I buy something, and rockauto is usually cheaper, but not always.

Both will send you emails with discount codes after you buy something from them. Discounts are usually 5%.

Packaging seems to be equally good for both.

One thing to watch for: If you are buying multiple items, pay attention to the warehouse each part will ship out of to you.

You want to try to get everything in your order coming from one warehouse to minimize shipping costs. If you have three small parts shipped from 3 different warehouses, the shipping cost can get a little lofty.

PM me if you want one of my discount codes from either one.

In other words, replace the yoke with dust shield with the yoke without dust shield. The newer style yoke (yoke without dust shield) can be upgraded and drilled out to use u bolt instead of the factory style straps. I would rather install that one instead of the same yoke I had before which can't be upgraded to ubolt. Only problem I see is that the yoke says its for 94 up and mine is 93. Also, it is 3" long while the yoke I have now is 2.75" long. Will .25" make a difference in the rear drivline? Would I be fine if I used the newer style yoke without dust shield? Thanks
anybody?

Are you lifted? I wouldn't worry about 1/4" unless you're sitting on ULTRA saggy springs.

TBH I thought the yoke changed in 1997.

no I'm stock. Put plan on getting a lift soon. My front springs bottom out over everything but that rear are pretty firm. I'm just going by the years Morris4x4 had listed on their website but wouldn't any year Chrysler 8.25 be swappable with any Cherokee? Cause apparently there are those two different yokes that could be on a Chrysler 8.25

Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it. And I was incorrect before, my 1999 C8.25 had the longer yoke, 1998 axle I bought had shorter with the shield. Swapped them instead of drilling out a snapped bolt!
