My hope is to make the trans run cooler, not so much the rad. I don't have any cooling issues at the moment, I just figured they could run cooler separated as apposed to together in one unit.

I've got a 96 jeep cherokee 4.0 and I plan on doing a general tune up soon I was wondering what the best plugs, wires and rotor are I wanna get the best performance ones I can and don't know much about that stuff also later on in the next few months thinking about putting new four hole injectors and a new fuel filter my air filter is clean and I plan on moving it to the cowl and probably putting a cone filter on it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
As for air filter, check out nanofiber technology. Its amazing and flows very well. Its the new thing with Nascar. Unless you have many more modifications on your jeep such as headers, free flow exhaust and/or more aggressive cam..... you wont gain much if anything with a cone filter.
Check here for what would be best for everything you need for the 96

Champion Copper plugs are what you want. Cheap and your 4.0's like them.
Live wires are nice.
I'd but everything else from the parts store.
I run the Hayden cooler from O Reilly in series after the rad on mine, gauge isn't installed yet but so far so good. That unit should suit you just fine, or any larger one from the JY wouldn't hurt it.

That's called the air dam. There are two (one per side) 10mm nuts & bolts affixing it to the bumper caps, and a handful of press-in plastic fasteners that hold it to the bumper. They're like these:
Remove with a small prying tool or side cutters. You'll want to buy some to replace em, all auto parts stores have them.

Google conduction vs convection cooling! There is a reason it runs through the radiator.

So need some help. Started my lift install and the bolt of my passenger rear leaf spring is seized to the sleeve. It started to come out of the other side and I can't get leverage on the sleeve so I can turn the bolt out. I've tried vice grips, pb blaster, and a propane torch to try and free the bolt from the sleeve. You guys have any ideas? Should I go out and buy a saw zaw and cut that ****er out?

Id keep working at it with heat and PB. I don't know if it's out enough that cutting it would let it drop down.

As for the plastic things they've got different names, fir tree pins and trim fasteners are a couple. They're a standard size. Take the old ones to the store with you

When that happens to me I get it out as far as possible, cut both sides of the bolt, get the shackle out of the way and weld a nut on what's left of the bolt threads in the unibody and finish threading it out.
