Say... that reminds me...

I had successfully converted both my Dodge Dakota and my Dodge Durango to use electrohydraulic power steering pumps out of a Toyota, with resultant rises in fuel economy. I was able to get something on the order of 19 MPG combined with the Dakota and 17 MPG with the Durango.

I had planned to do that conversion with the Magnum, but fate intervened.

You might want to look into doing an EHPS conversion on your Jeep. It will definitely bring down your idle fuel consumption rate.

Sweet! That's old school right there!
