Renix air box questions
I was replacing my pcv/ccv parts today and had an issue with my air box.
The big hose to the rear of the air box doesn't fit.
This part is from rockauto.com and all the other hoses work.
What should a Renix airbox look like? Can anyone share pics of correct box?
I tried looking up new airbox but no parts store seem to stock it.
I have a 1990 XJ Laredo, I6 4.0, AW4.

I'm a little confused. Your Pic seems to show the stock air-box. The large, front vent just goes to there, nothing fancy there. Just don't restrict it, (with small tube or a filter) it needs to be free to vent.
The rear valve cover "CCV" valve should be clean, and routed to the intake.
If I have tubes that mis-match, I might cut a short piece of something to put on the smaller so it fits a larger. In my signature there are diagrams and some Napa part#'s....

Are you referring to the two halves of the "Vacuum Harness" as the new parts that you bought?
And the large hose that is shaped like a "U" doesn't want to fit onto your airbox?
If this is what you are referring to, I just put these same exact parts (Dorman) on a friend's '90, and that hose seemed a tad too small, but I was able to stretch it on there. just took a little coaxing. I fumbled with it for about 2 minutes trying to get it on there, but it went.

Thanks for the advice guys. The CCV I received from advanced didn't fit on either end, will need to acquire a new one. I'll have to try that rear "U" shaped one again. I just thought it was made out of tolerance.
By the way, I originally tried to get all of these parts through NAPA. After 9 days of waiting, one came in, the part to the front. Rock auto supplied the matching part that I'm having trouble with. Advance Auto had the CCV hose and grommet in stock. So this simple project has been a mess of parts.

The U-shaped hose will fit. just have to stretch/work it over the nipple.

Finally got the U-shaped one to fit on the air box. Also got a new CCV hose and grommet from the dealership. Closest dealer with one in stock was an hour away. It's was harder to install than remove these parts but it is over now.
