I've looked around and found alot of useful info for my fuel injectors but I still have a couple of questions. 1 Does it matter if I use carb cleaner or does it HAVE to be fuel injector cleaner. 2 How do you remove the orings and what about the pintles, can they be removed and reinstalled?? How? What happens if you don't install them,( the pintels ) or only on half will my jeep run like crap or just blow up. I've never touched the injectors on any vehicle before so I want to make sure I get everything right.

They'll look like crap. Don't mount the rims until you can afford the correct tires too. Or buy them as a package, they're cheaper. JMO

PLOW for 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport XJ
hello, i have a new house w/ a 400' driveway, gently sloping, no big hills, no obstructions, etc. i'm only plowing my driveway, not commercially. i've read discussions in which folks say the uni-body on the XJ won't take a plow, it'll blow-out rear windows, nightmare, run away, etc. i live in taxachusetts, so it's not as bad as my home state of maine. the jeep has been well maintained and i don't mind driving around w/ the plow attached, but one i can unload and attach easily would be even better. another option, i suppose, is to buy another rig, but i'd liek to avoid it. i have a rusty's offroad 2" lift shocks & 2" add-a-leafs and BF 30x9.5's. good brakes. QUESTIONS: any specific new/used mounts & plow models suggested? ave prices? could you buy an old 6'6" or 7' plow and rig it w/ mount/pump, or is better to buy a new package? i think my jeep will be around to 225k w/ the straight 6! thanks & cheers!

Ok, it is quite easy to do. The most difficult part is to remove the pan that is literally glued to the tranny. I used a small jack sideways after kicking it in vain for an hour. The rest is easy. I don't know how much you pay for the fluid but i payed around 60$ fot the whole kit.

When i had low fluid engine would not go above a certain rpm. As well as making the tranny slip. This stoped imediately after adding fluid and capping a leak i found along one of the lines. So YES low tranny fluid can cause a lot of issues. It was also causeing mine to do the red light bit as well.

These are 235/75s on 8" rims, they dont look too bad, but I dont know how they would act when theyre aired down.
