Never mind after researching best H4 leds I found this and it really shed some light (hahaha I know it's cheesy) on the current tech. While the H4 bulbs may be brighter then halogen they don't spread the same way causing farther distance to be dimmer if not worse. Looks like I need some good ol fashion halogens.

No, I don't lick fish.
Hi All I just order a new Clear Water head, after removing my Cherokee head I discover the cam bearings shot, lifters shot.
I want to replace the short block,
I live in Las Vegas and I want to know who to order a short block from, any recommendation. Nation wide, what members are using and from who.
Thanks all

Yeah we need a little more to go on. Year, make, model, motor, trans, and a little more info on the problem.
I cant seem to find any information on removing the valve pan cover (left) on 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7l V8,
i believe i have a blown head gasket but i am still trying to get to the heads, i have already removed the right (driver side) valve pan cover and im wanting to see if i could get any pointers on how to remove the left (passenger side) valve pan cover, im not sure of what all to remove to make it easier to get to the bottom set of bolts on the valve pan any tips/pointers would be greatly appreciated. thank you

RE: My XJ randomly turning off / gauges die.
It seems to happen any time the trans hits 4th gear, or about 3-5 minutes into driving it. Not sure which it is, because I always hop on the highway that far into my driving. But only that once. Hiccup free for an hour or two of driving, usually good on the way back home even if it has sat for a bit.

Power steering noise
Ok I know someone out there has an answer. I have a new to me '99 Cherokee with 256,000 on it. I have gone through and checked replaced a whole bunch of stuff (mostly common issues). I'm no mechanic but relatively handy. I'm stumped on this power steering noise I'm getting. Mostly in reverse, the steering makes this low groan/wine like the pulley isn't turning but it goes away within a few seconds. I've heard it twice now at a really low speed, like 5 mph and at almost full tilt. The belt looks brand new (I didn't change it). It's tight with no play. I'm not getting play in the steering wheel either and for the most part the steering is pretty tight. The fluid level is fine and I'm not seeing any leaks. Any idea where to start?

But on an honest note, The fluid in the power steering is always over looked that stuff gets old and nasty full of moisture.
I can't count how many times a flushed fixed strange sounds and actions

Hopefully they will not cost too much.
Thank you for the recommendation.
