Okay, I'm rebuilding the lower end on my '96----my girlfriend ("The Jeep Killer") managed to put a hole in one of the pistons.........they tend to get real hot when the water pump isn't turning! The rebuild kit I ordered came with Speed Pro pistons (a well known brand)......first they sent me the wrong size but, now I finally recieved the correct ones but, I noticed that the skirts are considerably shorter than the factory Mopar pistons (I checked the numbers online and they are indeed the right ones). My question: has anybody experienced any piston slap with these short skirt pistons? I'm sure it's not a problem as I know alot of rebuilders probably use these same pistons, just curious. Oh, and is anything made in the USA anymore? The first set of pistons were made in India and the replacements were made in Mexico!:dunno: ---------Hans
