More like every couple days.......

Someone start a vacuum diagram thread and we'll post the diagrams.

After that, start a shoe tying thread and a shirt buttoning thread.

If that all is successful, we'll do an *** wiping thread, with photos.

Yea, it's so obvious that dealers can charge $200 for 5 mins of work in the biggest recession of 80 years.
Like I've said before, if you make less than $200,000 in your day job, you need a career counselor!
It's just funny how out of touch with reality you gearheads are.

Not so much showing how to physically replace vacuum lines but just a vacuum line diagram that shows every single vacuum line in its stock configuration and the purpose each line serves.
I'll get to work on this straight away.

After....

I ll be looking forward to it, just to read the comments after your first post.

I understand why most are kinda knocking on the idea of a writeup on vacuum lines. Myself I am usually pretty good working with wiring and plumbing diagram, do it all the time at work, but I have to admit, on my 85xj I have looked over several vacuum and wiring diagrams and once I pop the hood, there is nothing under there that even looks close to the diagrams, and mine is completely stock.

Something with actual photos would be a great help.

No a write up would be awesome. But not from bummer. It would take him 4 days to replace the 4 lines on a newer cherokee. Dont even ask him to do a v6 xj..... it would take hime 400 years and about 6000 rants on how the dealer would charge $4000 an hour to fix it.

Lmao when odgreen and bimmer are both present in a thread, there should be a flashing icon drawing attention to it. I laugh everytime.

I'm going to take that as an insult. You are an elitist douche bag that is out of touch with reality. I have been a professional mechanic for 25 years and I have provided for my family nicely with my skills. I don't make 200k a year, but I do make a very decent wage that Obama loves to tax. I still go to classes to keep up with the changing technology and to keep my skill set sharp. I'm a fleet mechanic for a State agency in California. I have to know how to fix anything from a chainsaw all the way up to a CAT D9 dozer. That includes ATVs, boats, cars and trucks from every manufacturer. So I take offense to your snarky attitude and condescending words. You make it sound like mechanics are nothing but a bunch of mouth breathing morons. I guess you don't remember that you couldn't tackle the rear shocks on your Jeep without years of planning and the thought of needing to spend hundreds of dollars in tools for a simple job. Not everybody can be a mechanic, it is a job that requires talent and skill. It's not something you can just go to school for and be good at, like a lawyer. So **** off Bimmer, you will get no help from me.

Bimmer is on a vaca. As a mechanic of 11 years I took offence to it also.

how can a LAWYER call a mechanic a thief... what do they charge an hour? How immoral are they? casey anthony's defense attorney? Jesus.. YOU KNOW THE ***** KILLED HER BABY GIRL... how can you defend that with a straight face?

Most mechanics I have ever met are great guys... consumers are just cheap whiny bastards who want free ****

I was hanging out at a local exhaust/everything shop in a "not so good" part of town... and a guy pulled up and asked how much to fill a few tires with air... buddy of mine just shrugged and said 5 bucks... (close to lunch time, it would pay for a burger)

guy flipped his lid and said "Air is free!" i popped back... "the compressor isn't, can you blow 35psi?"

Made him shut up.
