Unleash the Legend: Cold Air Intake for Your Jeep Cherokee 4.0L Inline-6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1993-1998 Jeep Cherokee owners running the iconic 4.0L Inline-6 engine, whether you’re hitting the trails, cruising the highway, or just looking to breathe new life into your XJ.

The Problem: Let’s be honest, the factory air intake on the legendary 4.0L Inline-6 in your Cherokee was never designed for optimal performance. It’s a restrictive, baffled system that chokes the engine, particularly when you’re asking for peak power. You feel that sluggish throttle response, especially merging onto the highway or tackling an uphill climb off-road? That’s the 4.0L I6 literally gasping for air, robbing you of the horsepower and torque it’s truly capable of.

The Solution: We engineered this cold air intake system to correct the factory design flaws of the 4.0L Inline-6, delivering reliable performance gains where you need them most. By replacing that restrictive OEM air box and convoluted tubing with a high-flow, streamlined induction pathway, your engine can finally inhale the massive volume of cool, oxygen-rich air it craves. The result? A Cherokee that feels lighter, more responsive, and genuinely more powerful – exactly what you expect from such a rugged platform.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

Optimized Power & Torque: This isn’t just about sound; it’s about measurable gains. By feeding your 4.0L Inline-6 a steady stream of cold, dense air, you’ll experience noticeable increases in horsepower and torque across the entire RPM range, from low-end grunt for rock crawling to improved passing power on the highway.
Unmatched Durability & Longevity: Featuring a premium washable performance air filter, reinforced high-temp silicone couplers, and industrial-grade stainless steel clamps, this system is built to outlast your adventures. The filter is designed for a lifetime of use – just clean and re-oil, saving you money and keeping your 4.0L protected.
Simple, Direct Installation: Forget complex modifications. This is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade using standard tools. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, making for a smooth installation that most DIY enthusiasts can tackle in an afternoon. You’ll feel the difference on your first drive.

Installation & Tools

The Wrench Time

Estimated Time: 30-45 Minutes
Difficulty: 2/10 - A straightforward bolt-on for the legendary XJ chassis, but you will be fighting decades-old brittle plastics under the hood. Finesse is required.

Tools You Will Need

10mm deep socket and ratchet (for battery terminals and factory airbox bolts)
8mm socket or 5/16" nut driver (for worm-gear hose clamps)
Flathead screwdriver (for prying stubborn rubber hoses)
Can of Throttle Body Cleaner & clean microfiber rag
Silicone spray lubricant (crucial for dry-rotted vacuum lines)

Mechanic’s Pro Tip (The "Gotcha"):
The biggest headache on the 1993-1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L is the factory CCV (Crankcase Ventilation) plastic elbows and vacuum lines. After 25+ years of engine bay heat cycles, they are as brittle as glass. Do not force them. Spray the connections with silicone lube and gently twist them back and forth before pulling. Also, the moment you remove the factory intake tube, stuff a clean rag directly into the throttle body so you don’t accidentally drop a stray bolt into the intake manifold of your 4.0L High Output engine.

Phase 1: Removing the Factory Part

Disconnect the Battery: Always start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal using a 10mm socket or 10mm wrench to prevent check engine lights and allow the ECU to reset fuel trims.
Detach the CCV Breather Hose: Locate the crankcase ventilation hose running from the valve cover to the side of the factory intake tube. Carefully wiggle it free. If it is stubborn, use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the rubber lip upward while applying silicone spray.
Remove the Throttle Body Clamp: Take your 8mm socket and loosen the factory worm-gear clamp securing the rubber intake boot to the throttle body. Pull the boot straight off.
Unbolt the Factory Airbox: Remove the mounting bolts holding the lower airbox to the inner fender using a 10mm deep socket. Once the bolts are out, lift the entire factory airbox and intake tube assembly out of the engine bay as one unit.
Clean the Throttle Body: With the intake removed, you will likely see heavy carbon buildup on the throttle blade. Spray Throttle Body Cleaner onto your rag (not directly into the manifold) and wipe the throttle body lip spotless so your new coupler seals perfectly.

Phase 2: Installing the Cold Air Intake for Jeep Cherokee (1993-1998) 4.0L Inline-6 Engine Blue

Install the Heat Shield: Lower the new aftermarket heat shield into the empty space left by the factory airbox. Secure it to the factory inner fender mounting points using the supplied hardware and your 10mm socket.
Attach the Silicone Throttle Body Coupler: Slide the new silicone transition coupler onto the throttle body. Slide two new hose clamps loosely over the coupler. Tighten the throttle body side down snugly with your 8mm socket, but leave the intake tube side loose.
Position the Blue Intake Tube: Slide the blue aluminum intake tube into the silicone coupler. If your specific 1993-1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L utilizes an IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor in the intake tube rather than the manifold, delicately twist it into the new tube’s pre-drilled grommet now.
Reconnect the CCV Line: Connect the supplied crankcase ventilation hose from the fitting on the new blue intake tube to the factory valve cover elbow. Ensure it is not kinked.
Mount the High-Flow Cone Filter: Slide the blue cone filter onto the end of the intake tube resting inside the heat shield. Tighten the final clamp with your 8mm socket. Double-check all clamps and mounting brackets for rigidity.
Perform the ECU Relearn: Reconnect your negative battery terminal with your 10mm wrench. Start the vehicle. Do not touch the gas pedal for at least 20 seconds. Let the 4.0L idle untouched so the ECU can calibrate to the newly increased airflow.
