hope this is the right thread to post this question on, but here it goes... Most of the time when i turn and try accelerating a little quick my jeep will die or stall/skip? i have a little less than 1/4 of a tank of fuel left could it just be that the pump dray air for a moment and i just need more gas? haha i know filling it up would be a quick way to find out, but i guess i just wanted to make sure this isnt something that someone has heard about before. it just seems very weird to me...

I have an 88 Cherokee chief. Previous owner took 4x4 linkage off. I've got it on a lift and can't figure out how to install linkage. Pics wouldreally help!

If I swap in the booster and master cylinder from a '99 - '04 Grand Cherokee, will that be fine for when I install rear disc brakes on a C8.25 axle? Just want to make sure I get all the correct parts from the junkyard. What other Jeep models can I pull the power booster and master cylinder from to work on my '88 XJ?

I'm putting a bypass pulley in place of the ac compressor. There's no charge in the system. Is it ok to just cut the hoses off going to the compressor? Also, what should I do with all the electrical connections, just leave them disconnected and tie them back?

99-04 grands...same reason above..the gran cherokee ones need more work to get them to work just right but are worth it because tehy are thinner..which will look nicer & give more room!
False..the prop valve isn't needed 100%..everyones different! I am going to try my 99-2000 xj prop vavle that came with my brake booster first. Then switch and see whats better..
Most report rear brakes lock up in hard braking, while with the prop that just grip, they never actually lock up...thus giving better braking!
Dragging tires vs actual braking!
