Drove it to work this morning and it didnt stall, which is nice. Also replaced sway bar qd pins yesterday and got the tires to correct pressure.

 

So i dont know much of the history of my jeep and ive found some disturbing things. A loose control arm, pads passed the metal, today a loose shock. Then i noticed this thing-a-ma-jiggy hanging down. Anyone have any insight to where it goes and what it does?

 

Differential or transfer case breather, I think , look at the top right corner of the differential housing from the back, around 2 o'clock if think of it like a clock, and see if there is a vent tube if theres not that's where it goes.

 

Isn't that the "Johnson Rod"

 

Nope it's the "Springtap override fitting"

 

Spent 20$ at the car wash still filthy smh

 

Bingo. It's a breather for sure. Bulbous thingy looks like a check valve so I don't believe it's from the transfer case or any axle.

 

Awesome thank you!

 

Replaced junk








Funny part is that it only leaked as the weather cooled.

 

Bout time you posted in here about something you actually did to your Cherokee. Lol

 

my 2000,
again,,,started right up on first key turn, no clicks!! my new starter seems good again. i check every COLD morning. nice warm up drive today. it seems to upshift at higher rpms till warmed up,normal?. then shifting od, and tq lock is just right. any excuse for a drive will work!!
od and tq lock at ?40-50, great heat.

 

It looks like a broken vacuum check valve or breather. Does your XJ have a CAD D30 axle?

 

Damn, The Salad Ninja struck again. Lol.

For me, new CPS, MAP and O2.

 

After 5 months of a friend attempting to fix it, he gave up and i had him tow it to a local shop. Im out of the state or i wouldve done it myself. I have a bad feeling itll be an electrical gremlin that will cost me

 

New wheels and tires put on tonight.
