Default Hello hello

Hello all. I own a Jeep Cherokee 2001 Limited. I haven't done anything to it, all stock. I had a '92 Jeep Cherokee Limited for my first vehicle that had a 2.5" lift and a huge iron bar on the front. It shook like crazy, sometimes, if you got over 55 mph. Never did figure out why it did that. Still, I love Cherokees and can't see getting rid of mine ... its just to great of a vehicle!

I actually have one question specifically, that maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I've thought about swapping in a diesel engine. I have talked to two people (unfortunately not friends, just acquaintances) that put Jetta TDI Diesels into their Wranglers. Got them up into the mid 30s for mpg but still had plenty of power. I thought I'd check around to see if something similar can be done to the Cherokee. I'm not that savvy when it comes to vehicles, so I just wanted to throw it out there. Anybody know?

The shaking you referred to as "Death Wobble" it happens when you get out of alignment, out of balance tires, track bar issues, bad bushings and whatnot
