I've got a '91 Cherokee, and my problem is I cannot for the life of me get better than 15 miles to the gallon. It's stock tires and lift, and seems to be in good running order. I've changed the air filter, O2 sensor, ran sea foam through it (haven't ran it through the throttle body yet) and run plus at the pump. I don't drive that hard but can't get any better. Any advice? Thanks!

I didnt need an sye, tc drop, adustable trac bar, ext brake lines (didnt even rebend), and i wheel the dog snot out my rig. Just goes to show how different the tolerences can be. Start simple and work out the bugs as u go.
Here are some pics of mine:

okay so a couple of weeks ago i fixed my jeep from over heating, but now when i take off fast, or when i was trying to pull this big stump for my dad and when i would start to pull and lug down it makes what sounds like a a fan hitting something in the front but it only does it during those times, has anybody ever had this problem.
