Comment on What is this little tube coming off the top of my engine? 95 jeep grand cherokee v6? by Mike S

There is a crankcase vent line at the back of the valve cover that connects to the intake manifold. Engine vacuum pulls excess vapors out of the engine through this line.

If it is not connected you will have a serious vacuum leak on the manifold – unless the port is stopped up like a lot of them I have seen.

If this line is not working properly, you will sometimes see oil in the air filter box.

C-Tech is correct. It is part of the CCV system (the 4.0L doesn’t use a PCV system). It is not part of the EGR system (that is connected to the manifolds, not the valve cover). Another note: the 4.0L is an inline 6, not a V6.

its could be for the EGR valve…. but 95 is a bit old so it could possible be the PCV valve. But also it dependes on the size. Hmm could even just be a vacuum hose

The crankcase ventilation system on a 4.0L does not use a pcv valve instead it uses some of vacuum from the engine. The missing rear hose connects to a vacuum port on the manifold. A diagram should be under the hood or you can check a manual. Good luck

Comment on Do you find that jeep wranglers have enough driver space? by The Legend

The driver and passenger seats are roomy, its the back seat that wasn’t designed for “adults” in mind. Go to a dealership and sit and drive one.

If you’re gonna spend that kind of cash, you should at least check them out in person. Personally, I love mine

Without seeing what you are talking about, I would guess it is something to do with your EGR valve, but I can’t be sure.

Comment on Has anyone used a K&N filter in a new Jeep Wrangler with the 3.8 liter engine? by toledojeeper

Changing the filter alone won’t help much but I do have a AME Cold Air Intake on my Wrangler and it makes a big difference in power and did help a little with mpg.

go to ancestry.com..Some of the things are free, some are not. Also, you can go request the birth records of the grandfather. Also, if your Bfriends grandfather was Cherokee, he himself can join the Cherokee nation Tribe online (google it) if he can prove his lineage and they will have a lot of information for you.

There is no performance change but the K&N filter will “act” on the car like a stock air cleaner, but longer lasting that stock.

Like having a fresh air cleaner everyday.
