What did you do to your Cherokee today?
ok, today i had off and decided i wanted to refresh some grounding points.
First i did the "instrument panel" ground and send it to another location with added 10g wire.
Second- Refreshed the top part of the engine ground (the one flat wire) not going to do the part that connects to the engine until i fix the valve cover leaking problem.
Third- i decided i was gong to refresh the c101 or whatever it is. This was a PITA because of all the tar. I sprayed it with brake cleaner, then scrapped, then sprayed and repeat. I didnt get it ALL but i got a damn good amount.
Results!!!!!!!!!!
Well 1st thing i noticed MY TEMP GAUGE WORKS!!!!!!
2nd thing i noticed, MY VOLTS WENT WAY UP!
i have been going through all of cruiser54's renix tips, and i sure am glad that i found it
Tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, i am planning on adding the relays to the power door locks to get them back up and working properly. I am going to do a write up with pictures and submit it, i know there is a write up on other pages, (greg smith) but none that i could find with pictures and step by step instructions. So i figured maybe it would be nice to go ahead and get one up on here.

Call a superviser and make a report with them. Holiday times get crazy there. May not always be cause someone stole them but they hire a bunch of kids pretty much to load the trucks. My brother use to work with UPS and told me stories of cops coming to arrest ppl due to them stealing iphone and such

don't mean to make your wait any harder, just wanted you to know you are making a wise choice in tires! I've been running these 33" dirty tracs for the last year and they have gone far beyond impressing me. Daily driving, crawling rock and snow they always perform!
I was in about 2 feet of snow on average and about 3 feet in the deep parts and I'm open diff and I was nearly unstoppable, rarely had to even drop to 4low.
