I recommend a powertrax for your purposes. The detroit is a full case unit (more expensive / requires gear work). The powertrax lockers are "lunchbox" lockers that the you can just drop into the stock carrier in about an hour at home, and are not very noticeable on the street. The "no-slip" and "lock-right" lockers are the same except the "no-slip" is quieter and less noticeable.

just go easy on it till you get used to it. It's MUCH easier to break the back end loose around corners.

My XJ is starving for fuel!!
I've got a 1992 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x2 that's started stuttering like it's starving for fuel but only after it's warmed up... about 10-20 minutes straight driving no matter I'm driving the highway or streets.
I've replaced the fuel pump and tried filling up with different companies 87 octane fuel from different service stations, and I've also replaced the Throttle Position Sensor with a new one I got through Chrysler.
It started off that the fuel felt as if it was just cutting off for a split second at a time at only low speeds but has come to cutting off for a split second for 5 to 10 second intervals but only when I press the accelerater. Sometimes I'm able to rev up the RPMs while in gear and it clears it up for a while but it'll come back as long as the Jeep is hot. I'm afraid it'll do perminant damage since it's been stuttering at 55-60 mph on the freeway... the entire truck convulses pretty hard. Please Help!!!

My other thoughts are that your o2 sensor is bad / shorted, you have a bad ignition coil or plugs/wires, or your CPS is failing when hot.
Whatever it is you are definitely experiencing thermal failure. Do you have a check engine light? If so it could tell us a wealth of information on the issue and what could be causing it.
my first course of action would be to disconnect the o2 sensor electrical connector for the next trip you take and see if the problem goes away. Your CEL will be lit, but it should tell you if the o2 sensor really is the culprit or not.

OK I know I know i shouldnt worry about ac in the jeep. But it is black and it gets very humid and i have asthma and my son has a breathing problem sometimes. So please be nice lol. Anyways my air work for like the first 5 min then gets warm. So at first starting it up it blows cold then gradually gets warm. Does it need charged or is there a common problem like? I have search and didnt see anything or maybe I was not searching the rights words. So any help or link is very appreciated. Thanks
If so, you can remove one of the steel shims to adjust the air gap. Do a google search for "cherokee compressor air gap fix"

It's not LICENSED anymore, so they can't label it as such. The fluid I posted above is backwards compatible with that standard. If the bottle says "Dex/Merc II/III compatible" you're ok.
Basically, they took the old standards and now label them as multivehicle ATF.
Dexron VI(6) is the newest standard, and is supposed to be backwards compatible, but i've heard otherwise. There is no Dex 4 or Dex 5.

Any ideas appreciated.
