    Volvo Penta GM 5.7 TBI low power at take-off

    Since you don't have marks, get an advance timign light. You adjust the knob on the timing light until the marks for 0 line up and the dial on the timing light tells yo what the advance is.

    lost trim function after testing coil

    There is a trim limiter module in these....I believe. Not sure when they started using these or even if they still do but you may be able to remove the darn thing and just plug in the trim wire plugs together after removing the module. Seems dumb to have these as often as these trim senders go...

    VP 280 no reverse

    That looks wrong. Should be closer to horizontal. Remove the cotter pin and put the cube to the side. Make sure the shifter at the helm is in neutral, the bar that shifts the cone clutches into neutral and then adjust the cube on the cable to fit into the hole perfectly and then attach the...

    KIA Telluride for towing?

    Yes 470 ft-lbs Your Jeep Grand Cherokee has a wheelbase of 109.5"....that is even less than the Kia Telluride that the Op was asking about. Sorry...but that is dangerously low unless you are towing a couple miles to a ramp like you apparently do. Bottom line, the Cherokee is a **** poor towing...

    KIA Telluride for towing?

    That's funny...I don't see you mention turbos anywhere! Too bad the Jeep is such a lousy tow vehicle with its short wheelbase and lousy payload. What is your payload on your Jeep..1000# or so? Also, you can't even get a V8 in a Jeep Cherokee anymore.

    Low voltage to fuel pump relay

    It will receive 12V to the relay coil while cranking(through diode from starting circuit) and then once the engine starts, it will get 12V from the alternator, also through a diode to that coil.
