It is built for stock applications and uses welded steel construction with ball ends for consistent geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Jeep and Dodge applications, this push rod is made in the USA and follows Melling’s specification-driven manufacturing approach. The MPR-378 is a direct-fit style replacement for select engine valve train setups that require a 0.312-inch diameter and 9.485-inch length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded steel construction for valve train service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard replacement grade for OEM-style applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall end top and bottom tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrilled design for engine oiling requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MPR-378 push rod is engineered for select stock engine applications where correct length, diameter, and tip design are critical to valve train operation. Its 0.312-inch diameter, 9.485-inch length, and ball-end configuration help maintain proper lifter-to-rocker geometry in compatible engines. Melling recommends replacing push rods during service to preserve valve train performance, and this part number is one of the standard replacement options in the Melling push rod line. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 74-6378, 190-1455) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment includes 1996-2002 Dodge Dakota, 1997-2002 Jeep TJ, 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler, 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler, 1984-2000 Jeep Cherokee, 1986-1992 Jeep Comanche, 1984-1987 Jeep Wagoneer, 1983-1986 Jeep CJ7, 1983-1985 Jeep Scrambler, and 1983-1984 American Motors Eagle.
