try discount tires. or JY. they ussually pull off all the tires on all vehicles. so if u happened to find an XJ there that had an obvious lift on it. chances are the JY will have the wheels to it stashed somewhere. just gotta ask one of the staff(tho i noticed half the time the staff doesnt even know what they have. lol u go in askin if they have a certain vehicle they ussually say "ehh i not sure. i think we problyhave two or three lyin around back there."

I have a question......what is this thing? And where does it go?
It has a hose going to the plunger looking thing from the firewall. And inlets that look like hoses should be on. It was just sitting under the hood of my jeep. Any advice would be great!

Ahh I see, I found out some people on here are trying to bypass the HCV. Wouldn't that make it so there is no heat? There are 4 hoses under the hood that are connected by fitting. Im guessing they previously went to this valve as they connect together at the location of where this valve should be. Anyway, somehow or another I have heat, but do I need this thing?
