Kevin, that Cherokee is a good machine in my opinion and that 4.0 six is tougher than WPA concrete. My wife"s brother has one. It has survived 2 teenaged girls and is still running. The only problem it"s had was cracked head and bad water pump. Cracked head was caused by bad water pump, dumb mechanics at Jeep dealer, and people that kept driving it when it was blowing the water out of the radiator. The root of the problem was the water pump. It never leaked. The impeller rusted off of it and it would not circulate the water. Dealer replaced the heater control valve twice. Parts changers maybe, mechanics, NOT. I had head repaired and put on new water pump for them, and after all that running without water it did, it still runs like a new one. BTW, Kevin, where in Ms. are you from? E-mail is open. Thanks Steve Norwood, Texarkana
