    How does PL14610 differ from PL14459

    I'm not buying the different efficiency ratings. Shouldn't they be the same? If it'll fit you can also use the mondo-sized ZR-1 filter, PL14619. http://www.purolatorautofilters.net/resources/Pages/InterchangeGuide.aspx...

    2006 jeep GC 3.7 v6 fluids

    on the XJ you need to remove the diff cover to completely drain the gear oil. most solid axles are like this on newer euro trannies if fluid dribbles out the fill hose at the specified temp then the tranny is full. i'd guess jeep is the same way

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modular_engine#Spark_Plug_Issues is it really this bad? fwiw, i've seen the platinum "wafer" drop off a bmw/ngk plug in less than 100k i prefer iridium plugs @ ~60k intervals www.sparkplugs.com will show you plenty of plug options

    Is Grand Cherokee just as reliable as Cherokee

    does the GC use the same poopy neutral safety switch (NSS) as the cherokee? hit it w/ degreaser, remove/clean/replace, or carry around a loooong screwdriver and jump the starter... 2wd jeep? solid front axle and no 4x4? great...
