Hi guys n gals got a weird question. I have been getting a smell from my jeep lately when it colder out n I'm just starting. It smells of rotten eggs what could this be. And no I didn't do the chicken challenge it has also picked up a funny jumping wobble between 33 n 35 miles per hour.
Thanks

The fix: replace your cat, but there are two options for that.
1) replace your stock one with the same thing and have it completely normal
2) replace it with a hi flow cat. A high flow cat offers less resistance and allows the fumes to flow out easier. This may help with mileage (minimal difference though) and maybe a few more horses (1-2) but if you replace the whole exhaust system with parts that allow easier flow you could gain anywhere from 5-10 horses depending on which parts you use.
Hope this helps!
Just wondering if you guys could tell me if a 1990 4.0 I6 will swap with a 1997 4.0 I6. and if so is it just a straight swap or will it not work at all. another thing do alot of the parts swap over.. any info will be helpfull

And I'd go with 200. There's no kill like overkill. And that leaves room to add other things. More lights, more subs, other auxillary items, etc. that or look into an AGM battery.(dry cell battery, Optimas and such) do your research on the batteries. Optimas aren't the cream of the dry-cell crop anymore.

i believe it is a whole new sunroof with weatherstripping ect, what if i took some kauk or something of that sort and put it around the top where it seals? and thank you for the altrnator recommendation its been irritating me when i have my lights music and heat on and the battery drains to about 10-11 volts while stopped!

open the top and look around the lip of the opening for the drain holes an stick you air hose in there and blast away
also check your ground and all other connections
even if they look good pull them clean them up and put em back
have you had your battery tested?
