Yep. Before /till the 4.0. Don't remember how big but from what I understand it was a dog. The engine bay was slightly different (IIRC tough to fit a v8 if you care)

The GM V6 that was installed in the Cherokees was a 2.8ltr 60* V6, they were DOGS!!!, GM also had 60*engines in 3.1ltr and 3.4ltr displacements.

The 98 Cherokees used the same temp sensors and such as GM.

yeah. the old GM 2.8 what a great piece of engineering that was

My parents had a jeep that was a "Wagoner model" that had that engine they sold it after 2 years to many problems. Glad Jeep stayed with the 4.0
