But, does it have a 'full time' mode with a coupler?
My Dana 300 T-case is pretty much bullet proof!

Actually, on the first full tank of gas (I'm only on the second!) I
was *trying* to go easy on the throttle most of the time, BUT, I had
the A/C on 80% of the time. This was also mostly street and very
little highway.

What a coincidence!
The Cherokee came with 235/75 15 tires. (Wrangler RT/S, btw)
These rub at full steering lock so I have to be careful when making a
tight turn.
The plate on the door jam says the stock size is 215/75 15.
....any idea where I can find out how much taller my tires are?
TIA
