The charcoal canister's only purpose in life is to receive gas fumes via the fuel return line and reintroduce them back into the intake system for recycling. It doesn't supply or hold vacuum. It sounds like you have a vacuum leak. Most common place for the leak is where the vacuum hose passes through the right front bulkhead and connects to the vacuum canister behind the right front bumper. The hose usually breaks in this area.

Paul hasn't been here since early Oct 2010. :dunno: Anyone hear from him?

In your garage Mike? Every time I see your fleet it's always parked on the street. :yes:

I used aftermarket (Crown) WJ LCAs and they didn't require any grinding. They must have rounded off the LCA ends a little more?

Two reasons. The extra weight of the Trac-Loc diff, and the added drag of the clutches when cornering. It's not a huge effect on mileage, but it does lower it somewhat. The biggest detriment to mileage though is a heavy foot on the skinny pedal. :cheers:

It has been lately Pete. 6" is still on the ground. When it snows here, everything shuts down. Schools, mail delivery, trash pickup, everything. They just plow the main roads and get to the side roads when they can. This weekend it's going back up above freezing, so hopefully this crap will melt. One good thing is that they don't use salt on the roads. :cheers:

Okay guys, appreciate all the responses. Trash-Loc it is. It's not going to help my mileage, but the good outweighs the bad. Even though the carrier is new mileage-wise (20K), I'll be putting in a new clutch/disk kit. It's cheap enough to do. :cheers:

The stroker is going to Hesco next week for her semi-annual dyno checkup. I'm also going to drop off my newly acquired D44 and they will do the regearing from 3.54 to 4.09, that requires a new carrier. I have a new Trac-Loc carrier that came with the axle and a new open carrier, both for 3.92+ gear ratios. My 2WD rig never sees any offroad, but does see occasion hard onroad. :D I've snapped two axles on the current 4.10 open carrier D35 (one on the local 1/8 mile drag strip) since the stroker went in. I've had both axles on previous XJs, and have had no problems with either in the past. I'm planning to occasionally revisit the local 1/8 mile strip, but the main purpose of my rig will be the D/D, and maintaining decent gas mileage. I'm leaning to the open diff, less maintenance down the road, and can see no valid reason for the Trak-Loc. Experienced comments?

Happy B-Day young-un. :thumbsup:

:agree: Using them front and rear. :cheers:

Two national championships in a row, two Heisman's in a row for Alabama. Now if we could only plow the dayem snow up......... Good try Ducks. :cheers: You got the win for the 2010 ugliest uniforms. :roll:

Pull the ribbon cables from the back of the cluster, spray some contact cleaner (sparingly) on the connector pins, let dry, then reconnect.

:agree: Just bought a 3.54 Trac-Loc one this week (local pickup) for $225, but it was a Trak-loc pulled from an 89 MJ and it came with a new Trac-Loc carrier to regear higher (4.09), which is what I'm doing. I would like to know the mileage if possible on the axle, what vehicle it came from, and it's history. If the axels are bent/toast, etc. more $$ to repair.

Yep, they are the same. You might have to punch a couple of new holes though for the push fasteners, but they work well.

I don't make him smoke - he chooses to. But he is cutting down somewhat, albeit slowly. And he always smokes outside, never in the house. :yes: I don't live in Chattanooga, but am close by in N. Alabama. I have friends there we see often. They like it but complain about the traffic a lot. Nice scenic city on the TN river, and the fishing's great if you like to fish. And no state income tax; that's always good.

This post absolutely does not belong in the CC forum, even in the Pub. You have done some cutting and pasting on your itemized list, and even managed to misspell most of it. "I am looking too, but if I can get some easy answers. Feel free to tell me anything you want." Not looking hard enough. Here's how to do it: Type in Chattanooga, TN in Google. Lots of stuff will appear. :nuts:

:doh: :doh: I knew that................

????? :hmm: Huh?

Great deal. :D For 3.92 gearing and up. I bought one just for a spare. Correct for XJ/MJ D44s. CLICKY HERE

Another ultra-rare Jeep "Commanche" (sic). You would think these fool sellers would at least look at the dayem truck badge if they had no clue how to spell it. :shake:

Guess I'm not as much as a She-........err........He-man as you are Sam. :yes: Damn sure heavier than the D35 though.

Yep. Fine linen ex-doggy blankets. :D Plan to Jeff. All the brake stuff is in good shape. :cheers:

Thanks Johnny - going to go with the 9/16 inchers.

That's why I always double-nut them. :D

Got 'er home. Now the fun begins. :yes: No drums though; disks are going on this baby. And dayem, these things are heavy. :ack: Image Not Found
