Dumb question time . . . .
I have an 88 XJ that I was going to use for parts for my 89 XJ but my son
needs it running because it's in better shape or at least has the potential to be better than the 89 Astrovan he currently has. Over the past couple years that I've had it I've managed to forget where the vent lines from the BA10/5 and T-case mount on the engine block after I pulled the starter for a spare to keep on the shelf. Can anyone tell me where they go? Thanks! Budd -- 2012 election defined: "Insanity is doing the same thing again and expecting different results." |

Similar to the front axle vent that clips to the airbox on my ZJ. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f12/h...ite-up-652142/ This shows it going forward, but that's all I've found so far. |

I'll give the local dealership a try, but they aren't that "Jeep friendly" .... their focus is Dodge and GMC trucks, and they've given bad info in the past . . . . like when I replaced the axle bearings (D-35 no c-clip) and they said the retainer plates weren't available at all (mine were damage by an inept '"mechanic" in the past.

Now the problem is figuring out which side since one article said "drivers" and none of the others were specific. Tomorrow, it goes back up on the stands for starter and fuel filter and if i can get to it easily with extensions, the vents on the driver's side upper bolt. Thanks!! Budd |

Budd, my MJ had the bracket mounted on the passenger side of the vehicle. I just can't recall if the thing was under a bell housing bolt or bolted to the firewall. Either would work if you have enough slack in the lines. -- WHonea |
