Default I'm going to stop trying

so i did two things to my cherokee today and i have decided to give up trying to understand it. First i replaced my rear speakers w/ some aftermarket ones, and my front speakers all of a sudden work didn't even know it still had them, mostly because the plugs for the speakers aren't plugged it! Then i did the injector swap and of course it runs way better, but now the alternator makes 14 now, never did that before, hardly hit 12, also it runs cooler, so i quit trying to figure it out i'll just take it, I love Jeep

Are you using the factory gauge to judge voltage? If so, the factory gauges are horribly inaccurate.

Better check your oil! When I park somewhere and somebody says "hey you got an oil leak." I tell them that is how I know it has oil in it still, It's when it stops leaking that I worry about it.
