SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 2004--Diversified
industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation (NYSE:ETN), announced today
that its new EGerodisc(TM) electronic limited slip differential will

Quadra Drive II(TM) package on the all-new 2005 Jeep(R) Grand
Cherokee, beginning later this year.
Stephen Buente, senior vice president and group executive,
Automotive, explained the importance of Jeep as the launch program for
the EGerodisc(TM) technology. "The introduction of the EGerodisc
active differential system will strengthen the Jeep Grand Cherokee as
an industry benchmark. The capability of the EGerodisc differential
system provides ultimate Jeep Trail Rated(R) performance and just as

the Chrysler Group recognized our capabilities and asked us to develop
this system for the Jeep Grand Cherokee."
