just got the tax returns in, and i was looking around online at new brains for my Cherokee. I thought i would ask the 'experts' before making any rash decisions myself. I see some claiming to both increase performance, and boost gas mileage by at least 15 mpg!!! ok, i might be exaggerating a little, but some of the claims have seemed to be a bit outlandish. i guess what i am really wondering is, have any of you installed new aftermarket computers, and who's is the best?! i am actually happy with the amount of power i get from my jeep, i wouldn't want it diminished, but could go for some more mpg, i'm willing to spend a couple hundred bucks to see this happen! Thanks in advance for any input!

Don't waste your money or time.

What he said.

Look into exhaust, air intakes... money better spent.

Good tune up witth NGK plugs, Napa Premium cap, rotor, and wires.

Clean the throttle body.

Better flowing exhaust and air filter ...

DieselD

All good stuff...

Gnommad

right on, its a 2000, but it was police vehicle and i heard rumors they put a stroker kit in, i get about 11 or 12 city, and 13 or 14 hiway, i'll be working on exhaust in the spring

Who put a stroker in it? The factory sure didn't.

DieselD

Ha... that's a good one. Rumors are wrong. Police package did not include a stroker.

More like suspension differences, vinyl mats, idle-up switch, column shift, bench seat. That kind of stuff.

Gnommad

hmm, ok, this jeep seems to get worse gas mileage than my 93 i used to have, but that could be a number of things... no column shift, no front bench seat, not sure what an idle up shift is... there is a switch and holes for the spot lights, but other than that, i really dont see any other modifications...

Gnommad

oh, also, no roof rack, not even any holes for where a roof rack has previously been attached, i gotta say, jeeps look a little goofy with nothing on the roof
