highway rating is abysmal.Īt a time when some folks are questioning how fashionable it is to be seen in an SUV, with the V-8 Grand Cherokee, you’ll be seen a lot–alongside it, with a lead-free gas nozzle in your hand. Unfortunately, the 5.9-liter, 245-horsepower V-8 in the Jeep Grand Cherokee for 1998 requires you stop as quickly as you start–each time you spot a filling station. Need to move quickly from the light? Tap the pedal and you leave all other SUVs, and most sedans and coupes, in your fumes as the V-8 roars down the pavement as if awaiting a checkered flag at the other end.
Everest, where the full-time four-wheel-drive and anti-lock brakes come in handy too. Need to climb a hill? Take the V-8 Grand Cherokee up Mt.
Need to tow a boat? The V-8 Grand Cherokee can pull the Queen Mary strapped to the back of the Titanic.

This may or may not work with your factory fuel gauge in the instrument cluster. You may need to upgrade to the newer style pump module. Some older model Jeep XJ's had the fuel pump module in the front of the tank. Aftermarket trac bar mounts may need to be modified, BUT if your lift kit and trac bar mount works with your stock tank, it will work with our gas tank, too. However, we know customers that have fit this tank with Ford 9" and Dana 60 rear axles, too. We have only checked this tank to fit with a Dana 35 or 44 rear axles in the stock location ( lift kits are OK). Includes two new factory Mopar roll over / vent valves. Ground clearance is the same as stock or slightly lower depending on the model year Jeep you have. Works with the factory emissions and other related equipment so you will not get any check engine lights or other engine computer issues. Uses the newer style stock Jeep XJ fuel module (pump/sending unit) 1997-2001. Multiple internal baffles to reduce fuel movement & keep fuel near the pick up. Stainless steel straps hold the tank in the skid plate. There is a foam liner in-between the tank and skid plate.
Includes a heavy duty 3/16" thick Skid Plate. Tank is made of 1/8" thick Aluminum alloy and TIG welded.
