Just talked to the Jeep Cherokee owner,  It's a 89 model year, 4.0 Straight 6,
it does have a Toyota 4 Runner auto trans.  He says the Toyota computer has a
few more inputs not used on the Jeep.     

I had suggested he get a Toyota computer and one from a 4 cyl Jeep so we can
compare bins.  He is looking for a higher shift point.

BTW this Jeep has a Paxton super charger + mild cam + ported head + larger
injectors.  The stock Renix ( french) ecu is still on the truck, he uses a
rising rate fuel reg to control the fuel curve.  I have never driven this
truck, so can't say how it runs.
