If you have air coming out of the defroster vents on the dash, then its a broken vacuum line. Find the vacuum leak, and youve solved it.

If you have nothing happen at all, no heat, no ac, no ac compressor turning on.., I bet its the controller(console) thats mafunctioning. 10 -15 bux at pick a part. make sure you find one that doesnt have burnt connections on the back at alll.(if your pigtail connections are burnt then take new ones to splice onto your jeep. )

you dont "really" need one. all it does is store vac for your HVAC unit and cruise control to use in low vac situations like WOT

I had to relocate mine since i went aftermarket with the bumper. I found they were pretty cheap new at the dealer. 12 bucks or so.

I have my old one. I removed it and capped the line. Cruise still works just fine.

Passenger rear shock went out on me. The piston rod rattles in the shock body. I can grab it and shake the whole thing. Piece of crap generic shocks lasted from May til now haha.

Suggestions for replacements? Been looking at Rustys or Skyjacker MX shocks. Both look similar in design amd specs. Just need the rears now, fronts maybe if the price is decent.
