Chris --

I think this is what I am hearing then. I paid special attention this
morning on my commute to work, and this is what I noticed:

In 5th gear going 60 mph at approximately 2200 RPMs, that noise is
there but it is very quiet. The faster I go, the louder it gets. It
never gets REALLY loud, just more noticeable. And the sound is steady
and rhythmic. Not intermittent at all. When I let off the
accelerator at say 65 mph, it gets quieter and quieter until speed is
around 60 mph. Then it's just hardly noticeable. When I speed back
up to 65 mph, same result. This noise steadily gets louder until it's
more noticeable.

Doug --
Thanks for that tip. I'll check the distributor when I get out of
work today just as a precaution. I doubt that's it, but you never
know. I'll take any advice I can get (as long as it's within
reason : D).

Don't bother checking the distributer as your 4.0L Jeep
doesn't have one. :-)
They got a coil pack/rail now. No more ignition wires

You 'sure' are 'not' describing engine ping.

You also don't have a distributor to go bad.

A stone stuck in a tread can cause a strange ticking that gets louder
with speed, so can a leak in the exhaust.
