Bumpy bump?

I tried searching with no luck. What is the mod you can do on a water pump to eliminate that black metal hose coming from the top/side of it?

Get a barbered fitting to put on there and a longer piece of hose. Maybe zip tie it to something so it can't/ won't move towards the fan.

You may need to adjust the pinion angle. This can be done with shims, shackles, or shackle relocation. Or a ****load of axle wrap lol

A good grinder blade and one to clean the metal and some drill bits and oil

Default factory service manual 1996 cherokee
Seeing how no mechanic I take the Jeep to will perform any kind of fully efficient labor, I am in the market for a fsm.

Is there any trusted accurate source for a factory service manual made for a 1996 Cherokee?

^this still, and I removed my headliner, but it was literally just fabric with foam and mesh on the back. Isn't it a hard plastic material usually under the fabric/foam usually?

Which sensor? For the computer or for the gauge? What year?

And it's fiberglass if I recall correctly.

Update:
Oil change with Pennzoil high mileage because it was 30% off. New Purolator filter. New temp sender.

Tapping is gone from bottom end (for now, at idle), tick from #6(?), and running a steady 220°F.

Kinda wanna ignore these problems for a while lol

EDIT:
45+ minutes at idle were perfect, but smoking a ton as soon as I start driving. Tapping is back in the bottom end.

(Triple post!)

Unplug MAP vacuum line, and Jeep immediately dies. That's good, right?

Its a 1996, 4.0l. Its the sensor at the back top of the cylinder head.

Fiberglass? Hmm, weird, maybe mine wasn't stock.
