since my last question was ignored, I'll try again and ask another.

How hard is it to R&R a heater core in a 90 two door jeep?

Check on naxja, lots of 2500 swaps done there. just google "2500 swap jeep" and you should be able to find it. if not just copy and paste this thread on naxja

I haven't been able to find an AirRaid or K&N system for my 88' 4.0 so I am going to redirect the intake from the passenger-side cowling. Any ideas on where I can find the intake tubing to make this happen? Also, any other fairly inexpensive engine upgrades to help keep her running strong would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Default serpentine belt

I wanted to ask if anyone could recommend me a serpentine belt?
I have a 2000 XJ sport 4X4 with 140K.

I was looking at the dayco- poly-rib belt 5060895

What do you guys think of that poly-rib thing?
Any good? Also what other stuff do you recommend?

Thanks a bunch.

Well first of all, that belt is for a right hand drive cherokee. Is that what you have? I'm willing to bet you have the standard left hand drive cherokee, which is part # 5060950.

The poly-ribs supposedly run quieter...i dunno if that's true or not. Personlly i like the "gatorback" poly-v style belts since they tend not to slip if they get wet or cold. Goodyear makes these Part# 4060950

PVC + High heat paint to protect and keep cool = Pretty nice set up... I bought it all except filter and paint from home depot. 20 bucks for the angle of PVC and the 3 foot of straight PVC and th Rubber 3 in to 2 in adapter for the throttle body. works like a charm

Do a locker in the front and a budget lift. My locker does great in everything I love it. And you always need a lil extra ground clearance in the mud.

well both have advantages. If its not a locker you can engage and disengage put it in rear. If you can select it put it in the front. But you dont wanna have a locked front axle when driving around town.
