Hey Dave, forgot to comment. Your GC 5.9 is FLYIN! Has to the ultimate
insult for 5.0 owners when a Grand Cherokee takres em out! LOL! Especially
from a light. I raced a 5.9 GC from a light and he jumped about a length on
me thanks to 4wd, gpot poas him but only had about a length at 60. Jeep is
planning a similiar Jeep for 01/02. It is going to have a 270HP 4.7, and
Jeep says it'll do the 1/4 in 14.6. Sounds niiiiiiiiice. :)
