Need fuel filler hose and vent for 1983 Jeep Cherokee
Had similar problem with a motorhome, and ended up at an industrial hose & hydraulics place, and purchased needed size & length, in hose approved for fuel usage, couple of new hose clamps and we were back on the road. Also check at Heavy truck repair & parts places, quite often they will stock such types of hose. Hope this helps. There is always auto recyclers, but you may end up with same as you have shortly after.

1993 Jeep chreokee Replaced fuse and relays Can
You have two relays there...the fuel pump relay and the pump bypass relay. Did you check both? Also, did you check the resistor on the drivers fender back near the master cyl? Both relays are powered by the asd relay that is energized by the crank position sensor via the computer.
Also check the connections for the relays underneath the power distribution center.

I have a 1983 jeep cherokee and i have no power
Forget about modules for a while and check to see where power coming from the battery stops. Is there power on one side of the ignition switch? does it come out the other side when you turn the key? Is there power going through the neutral safety switch? Is there power at the main starter connection? How about the trigger wire on the solenoid with the key turned to the start position? Is anything working at all? Is the battery fully charged, load tested and connected to the system with clean connections and a good ground? Use a volt meter to check connections...a test light will tell you there is power, a meter will tell you how much...any drop in voltage shows a possible problem.
I can't be there to test but if you check everything I mentioned you are bound to find something!
Good luck, ask if you have another related question and don't forget to rate answers!!!

Had a 360 stop due overheating and then rolled a
Is this a 360 v8 engine?
Timing chains rarely fail to the point that they fall apart, generally the gears wear and the chain stretches out and the engine won't run properly before the chain itself comes apart. Finding links in the pan tells me something really bad previously happened in there.
In spinning a bearing, metal is transmitted throughout the entire oiling system and without a total rebuild, the engine will never be "right". During a severe overheat the timing chain can relax and not be tight enough to keep cam timing in phase, additionally the piston rings can relax and not be giving you sufficient compression.
Timing is set by bringing the engine up to TDC at the crankshaft at which point the distributor will either be pointing to the #1 tower on the dist cap or it will be pointing 180 degrees away from #1 in which case, just turn the engine one more time again stopping at TDC. If then the rotor is not pointing to #1 you need to move the distributor one tooth over to get that corrected. I am assuming that you did check the alignment of cam and crank gears when you had the chain out. Regardless of if the timing is set correctly, you should be getting spark at all cylinders. If not you need to find out why.

80 cherokee defroster doesn't work
It could be one of a couple of things. First, make sure all of the vacuum lines are good. The blower motor makes the air move, but its vacuum that sends it where you want it to go. The vacuum lines start at the control head and go to the different blend air doors. Either go under the dash, if you can access them that way, or remove the control head from the dash to inspect the lines. Make sure your engine vacuum lines are good also. If all that checks out, check the air duct tubes. They could very well be cracked and torn from many years of use.

I have a 82 Jeep Cherokee With the inline 6 and
It would be cam bearings not main bearings, check with a manual guage first, if you had no oil pressure your enging would be making metal to metal knocking noises and then seize up... Suggestion at the time you remove a oil galley plug with engine off, then disconnect coil wire from ign so engine will not start then have someone help bump the starter and crank engine over while you watch for oil flow from engine block... Check flow then insert manual oil pressure guage...

Ok so I changed the speed sensor by the transfer case on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee sport (xj) and I'm having trouble finding the other speed sensor location any advice?
On a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport (XJ), there are typically two speed sensors: the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and the rear axle speed sensor. The VSS is located on the transmission or transfer case, while the rear axle speed sensor is located on the rear differential housing. Here are some tips to locate the rear axle speed sensor:
1. Locate the rear differential housing: The rear differential is typically positioned towards the rear of the vehicle, underneath the rear cargo area. Look for the large metal housing connected to the rear axle.
2. Identify the speed sensor: The rear axle speed sensor is usually mounted on the differential housing itself. It will have a wiring harness connected to it.
3. Follow the wiring harness: Trace the wiring harness from the rear axle speed sensor. It will lead you to a connector that is plugged into the vehicle's wiring system. The connector may be located near the rear axle or along the frame.
4. Inspect the differential housing: Look closely at the differential housing for a small protrusion with a threaded hole. This is where the rear axle speed sensor is installed. It may have a retaining bolt securing it in place.
