By the way, welcome to Cherokeeforum.com. Congrats on the jeep.
Thanks for the advise! Now we are having a problem with the oil pressure gauge dropping and then going back up!! I have read some ***** stories about the electrical systems on the Laredo and we are not sure if it is electrical or not? Any more suggestions??

I've seen pics of the 96+ and wasn't sure if it did. Was it all models of the 96+ or just the limited?

Thank you Stryker, that makes sense about the defrost, and I'm going to buy a new sensor - eventually my whole cooling system will be new, and trouble free (knock wood)

My wife has a grand Cherokee and we have had all kinds of electrical issues with it! As far as your oil pressure I'm not real sure. Give it a day or two, someone will have the answer on here.

i removed the tcase drop as per directions during install
so let me get this right the ds and pinion are supposed to be in a straight line?
or the t-case and pinion are supposed to be paralel?

Your drive line should be as straight as possible to avoid vibes. The less angle on the pinions, the easier they can turn.

Default UPGRADE Cylinder Heads

Hey all,

I have an 89 XJ 4.0, the #1 cylinder I believe is not working! What would be a good deal/Upgrade to my XJ on replacing the Heads? Also how would I go about boring out my TB? Should I take it to a Machined Shop? Any advice/help will be very appreciated. Thanks!
