Looking to install a combo auto trans/power steering cooler in my YJ. Anybody with more experience in this department, I'm trying to decide between Derale 13302 or 15301.
13302 is a 4 & 6 pass system. 4 for PS, 6 for AT.
http://derale.com/products/fluid-coo...threads-detail
15301 is an 8 & 8 pass system.
http://derale.com/products/fluid-coo...threads-detail
I'm less worried about the PS and more worried about the AT. What would be recommended here? Just wondering if there will be a significant difference due to the stacked layout of the second cooler.
Price isn't much different. Size and depth aren't issues in this application. I just want to maximize cooling.
Thoughts?

I'd go with the first one personally. it's better to have a cooler trans, than it is PS. They both look well built though.

I have an 88 Jeep Cherokee, 4.0, in line 6. The Jeep has been sitting for about 2 1/2 years. It ran when it was parked. I recently got it back in the garage and started to get it driveable again. I did the basics fresh gas, new fuel filter, oil, tune up, etc, etc, . Fires up and runs. Idles a little rough, but still runs. UNTIL. it warms up to operating temperature. Then if I turn it off, it will not restart. I replaced the CTS, and ran all the voltage test on everything and all and all seems fine. It almost acts like vapor lock, however, if I open the scherader valve and turn over it almost will start. My next question is two part. How do I tell a RENIX from a Jeep and is it true what I read about grounds. Mine seem okay.

Hey all, I'm a brand new owner of a KL and I just signed up on here. I'm a welder fabricator and I'm looking to make lift plates for my Cherokee, I'm searching here to see if anyone has done anything like this or if they have a better way of going about getting 2" or more out of the KL jeep. Can anyone supply me with a link if this has already been discussed? I've been searching through here but haven't found anything yet. Any help would be great. Thx.

Exhaust crimp?
So I've been having a bit of sputtering under power and well feeling like the jeep is a bit underpowered. I've come up with two possible problems. One being the exhaust, I looked up and down the pipe and at the very beginning where the pipe bolts to the headers there is a nice dent that really constricts the flow. I'm trying to upload a picture as well. The second problem is fuel filter. I can't find an inline fuel filter anywhere. I changed the fuel pump assembly with new stainer bag, but if I follow the line to the front I find no canister filter. Is that possible? Also has anyone changed there fuel line to a stainless braided line? Mine is half the diameter of my pinky finger and extremely rusted, I'm thinking it needs to be replaced as well. Any thoughts on my sputtering?

I think the only way to get the KL some lift is by using taller tires. I dont think there really is a way to lift the KL(I could be wrong). But here is some reading in this link
