Summit has a few brands, and PolyPerformance is pretty big. Lots of info on Pirate4x4 about them. My understanding is you want the plastic cell or bladder to be in a metal box for protection.

If it is, get one with a good warranty. Don't waste money on a Mean Green.

I'd climb under and try to jump the solenoid on the starter before I swapped it out. Just to be sure.

Without getting run over.

That works sometimes but rarely when you can't whack it hard.

Jump the solenoid.

Sure the battery isn't dead?

1989 Cherokee Stalling

Just got a 2door, 1989 sport. Wasn't running, Distributor was shot, replaced it with New D/Capp/Rotor started right up.... Ran it up and down back roads for 5 minutes, started stalling, bucking, etc.....Sat overnight, started perfect this morning, idled for 10 minutes, ran back roads again, started stalling, bucking, etc..... Thoughts? Coil bad after it gets hot? O2 sensor in a open loop bad? It has no Cat....bad gas, was sitting awhile? Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Also, it has a 2 inch lift, the guy put tall tires on it, they rub slightly, but the jeep feels like it is wondering all over the road, didnt dare go over 40mph...Thoughts?
