Well according to most vehicle brands no matter what tires you put on you should run what the vehicle specifies.

That is the manufacturers recommended pressure for tires on that vehicle. The Pressure that is on the sidewall is the MAX pressure, not the pressure it should be run at.

If my orifice tube for my ac is sawed off at the end do I need to replace it? I think I could still connect it with a hose. Im already replacing the accumulator,heater core, and ac evaporator. Also, how much coolant capacity is there in a 4dr 1998 cherokee spory if we flush it and drain it? And how much refrigerant does it hold if you are starting from scratch with new parts?

don't know if this has been asked or not, i'm sorry if it has.
what would cause my jeep to squeal like a steroid induced pig rage?
i thought it might be the power steering doin it. finally got it stopped ata gas station, my fiance noticed it was blowing anit-freeze. popped the hood and holy wow, it was spewing out of the plastic tank, the lid was even on it tighter than a ticks buttonhole. anyhoo, bought somemore anti-freeze and steering fluid. after dumping bout a capfull of anti-freeze everywhere (nerves) i got a lil bit in. figured that if i put some in but not alot, it'd have some in the radiator and some room to puke back if need be. took the lid off the steering fluid thing, saw almost full, so i topped it off and it kinda stopped squealing so bad. the temp gauge did go up and down though. mainly hovered bout half.
what would cause all of this and is it major? i have about 30mi to drive today and kinda hoping it's not "motor blowing up" bad.

Unfortunately it sounds like your head gasket is toast. Should hover a little hot while driving but when you stop and idle it will blow out.

Y does my jeep die when I come to a stop especially at red lights but it dies when I slow down or if it's just idling and it's not every time neither just enough to be very inconvenient I think it's a throttle body problem idk

could either be you tps (throttle position senor) or you could have either the fuel filter getting plugged or the fuel pump strainer in the tank needs replaced as well
