    1988 Laredo

    Need details on project Does it matter if I have the thermostat with the purge hole in it? Yes, I am replacing the valve cover gasket once I get the inside of the head cleaned. Also have to find something to go in the front breather hole in the valve cover. Nope, no remote.

    1988 Laredo

    Well used my 1988 on my daily run yesterday and it ran great. Not as peppy as the '96 but ran good. A little low on the heat output but have a new thermostat for that. One with the purge hole from the dealer. Will put it in tomorrow. Only other thing I have noticed is when I first start it up...

    1988 Laredo

    Hey all, I'm back and I guess I'm hooked on these Jeep things. Just bought a 1988 Cherokee Laredo today with 104,000 on the clock. Power everything and it all works. Couple quick questions about it. I had it running and went to take the oil fill cap off the valve cover to check for blow-by and...

    Thanks Neal, I had the front drive shaft loose the other day and the u-joints in it were tight. Maybe an axle joint though.

    Small clunking noise

    I had to drive in about 4" of snow this morning on my daily run and ever so often would hear a small clunking noise coming from what sounded like the driver side front wheel. Only heard it while in 4WD. Would notice it when I would stop and back up or put in drive and pull out. Would do it one...

Went to get MAP sensor for it, got home and said, "huh", this don't look like mine, sure enough, it was for a '96 model, so I called the dealer...

    '96 Cherokee running problem

    Well I think I may have found the problem and I feel pretty stupid about it too. :roll: 2 words, bad gas. I have bought gas at the same place ever day since I have had it and today I got to thinking about the old days and how cars would run with bad gas in them and that is how my Jeep has been...

    '96 Cherokee running problem

    Update: I did the coil swap and went out and drove it for about an hour with no problems. On the way back I stopped and took off and crowded it quit a bit and it wanted to stumble again, but as soon as I let up on the gas and drove it normal, no problem. Just when I get on it heavy. Now what...
