The vacuum system in your Jeep controls a wide variety of things including your 4x4 and several engine/ emissions systems.

Thanks for the help!


my 4x4 is a non-vacuum, but the emissions sounds right. I think I may unbolt it tomorrow.. See if theres any changes in the vehicles performance

They call it the vacuum canister. I may have to relocate it before I break it on the rocks

Sounds great man! Thank you for that! I'll PM him for sure and get it done tomorrow.

Im also thinking about saving up the money for a 4 link in the rear and redoing the front during the winter.

Keep us updated. I'm not familiar with other suspension setups.

Sure will!

And 4 link is a "Full Floater" axle. Meaning it will be like the front axle.

As soon as I fix the front axle and add lockers, I'm upgrading suspension components

Yeah its along the same lines haha. But what linking your axle does, it creates a no friction, non-limited flex articulation. Putting whatever suspension setup on your Jeep will increase that suspension setup to its maximum potential.

Axle is back together. Just have to get some gear oil and a diff cover gasket. Next is onto the rear axle and transfercase. Maintenance sucks, lol.



I love being bored.. Carb and Choke cleaner with a BIC lighter equals endless hours of fun..




Still on the lookout for lockers. Aussie from Pirate4x4 seems like a good deal.

Use rtv sealant instead of a gasket

I agree. It wont deteriorate like a gasket. I did notice that the previous servicer put RTV on the paper gasket.. BIGG no no for me.

Factory service method calls for rtv, no gasket.
