Default What is that beside the coolant tank?
There's a small round piece near the coolant tank that has a few solid plastic lines going to it and an electrical connector. It has a ticking sound while engine is running. Assume it has something to do with emissions or fuel. Is that normal?

96 4.0L 6 cyl

That more than likely is the coveted jeep egg (aka Evap/vacuum Canister)

Okay, wasn't sure. After some work on the engine, etc. it's not as noisy and this wasn't something I noticed before.
