I had the same problem, ran like crap, backfiring, chugging, changed my in tank fuel pump and now she runs great. Just an idea, it worked for me.

Both turn signal and hazard lights if let on for more than a few minutes stop blinking and just stay on. If I cancel them and turn them right back on they blink only a few times then on again. If I wait awhile before turning them on again it'll take a few minutes again. What's going on? Flashers getting hot? Will just replacing them fix this?

The flasher module is basically a circuit breaker that resets itself. The amount of current flowing through the module triggers the circuit breaker, so if a bulb goes out the heat drops and the circuit breaker stops breaking the circuit (circuit stays closed), which is the usual cause. It could be that the module internals are sticking.
It's definitely the flasher relay under driver side behind kickplate. They get moisture in them and stick. Very easy change and available at Autozone for under $20. When the bulbs flash at a faster rate is an indication of one or more bulbs burned out; relays usually last at least 5 years.

Welded on my coil mounts on my dana 60. Do you think my coils are leaning too much? I know I should cut my coils off and reweld but I was an idiot and welded them completely before checking and now I don't want to..

Okay so I bought a knock off version of the bushwacker cut out flares ( I know I'm a cheap a$$) but it didn't come with cut out templates or anything. Anyone got a bead on some online templates or any measurements that can help out so I know what to cut? It's my daily driver and I can't really just cut and hack or I would. ........
I have a 2000 Cherokee. Recently, I noticed the washer fluid would not always spray immediately when I pulled on the switch. I could hear the motor running but it would sputter and spit and then finally come out normally. Yes, it is full of fluid. Now the fluid will not come out at all and I can't hear the motor running. Also, around the same time I noticed my intermittent wipers will not work. When I switch to intermittent the wipers run once and then won't run again. The low speed and high speed work fine.
I was thinking I need to replace the switch on the steering column since both issues started around the same time I figured it must be a bad switch. What do you guys think?
Thanks for all responses!
