Evap System Failure Solved - $7 Fix
มุมมอง 25K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Found the roll over valve or purge valve on the fuel tank on my Jeep Wrangler TJ was cracked off which had been causing the check engine light. The leak had been present since I purchased the Jeep but the only fix up until now was replacing the entire fuel tank assembly which is not obsolete from Mopar.

Recon vs Spyder LED Tail Lights on a 3rd Gen Dodge
Hey look at that guy …. He is so awesome
Thank you! This is my 4 day weekend project. Everything else seems fine so thats about all thats left to check. Been smelling gas for awhile. The family always asks about the engine light, I say it's a Jeep don't worry about it!? 😅😂
Smittybilt winches / Great BUT / IF they break there are NO Parts. I was told today that the solenoid i need, is in on a 60-90 day back order and not taking any more orders for the part. WHAT! Yea 30' of cable on the ground and NO parts. Fortunatly after tearing the front off my Truck to get to the winch solenoids, Yes you can override the solenoinds on the back side of the solenoid, by pushing in the rod. Been nice if Smittybilt shared this info with me. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obouisly there going out of business !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking for a new winch................
Does the nipple attach to anything
I've heard that the 4wd indicator doesn't work with the atlas. How do the rubicon factory lockers engage if 4-low isn't detected?
@@marksween761 i bypassed the switches a long time ago to be able to use lockers independently and in 4 high if needed.
Start by removing your fuel tank.....well that's not going to happen.
what tire size and lift ae you running ?
That was 2.5" on 37s
Hate this guys voice it’s like nails to a chalk board stfu plz
I'm seeing this 4 years in the future has it held up 😊😊
Still working
Do you happen to have the template file I could print? This looks really good and clean
Great video man. I was wondering - the plastic lines that run from the purge valve - in the chance that they crack or break , could they be replaced with a high temp silicone hose? I am trying to figure a way to future proof that system. Hoping an experienced opinion may shed some light on this quest. Thanks and kind regards. I got a big leak and I can smell it behind might passenger tail light (I sawed a 4.5 inch hole for circular brake lights). I'm unsure if it's from the canister or the tubing. going to knock it all out at once if possible.
Did you have to modify the transmission mount? Thanks
I did not, but it does have a lower profile mount from the shorter case skid I have
Did you have to modify the transmission mount? Thanks
God it must be nice to have a lift
How much engine oil do you put in?
I know this video is old but I’m hoping your still here do you remember what the difference was in the driveshaft lengths I’m wanting to put one in mine but I already have Tom woods driveshafts and I don’t want to have to pay again if I don’t have to
I don't recall the measurements difference but if you have one in good shape already you can always have it lengthen or shorten. I went with a flange so a new shaft was needed anyway.
@@beachedferrari oh ok I gotcha now that you say that it makes sense their website says 14-16 weeks did yours take that long or are they just estimating?
@peytonmathis7460 it was a couple months at least from what I remember. But that we pre covid too
Holy shit! I’m glad I came across your video! My dealer doesn’t drain the oil cooler pan. Will this cause damage? Also, they overfilled it by a quart. I honestly thing it was more. I drove it hard home and realized so I drove it back to dealer. They are fixing issue now. Can that have caused damage? I’m going to have them input in system that they overfilled it. This is the second time. I’m just gonna do my own oil change from now on. I’m so pissed
From my understanding most dealers don't since it's designed to pull the bumper. As for damage, I'd think you should be OK.
@@beachedferrari designed to pull the bumper? I’m assuming all dealers don’t empty it. So basically, every oil change I’ve been getting, I have 1/2 quart of old ass oil. Lol. No wonder my oil looks black so quick
2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport gurgling sound at a gas tank what can be the problem
I have a gurgling sound coming out of the gas tank but no engine light on
I need to replace this piece, what’s it called? Mine is broken on the other side though
Evap something. I know on the lj they aren't available to buy separately
roll over valve BUT i dont think they are sreviceable
Thx for the video very helpful
Thanks for the great install summary man! Question... what tummy tuck t-case skid are you running with your 1" body lift?
I actually have no idea. Has been on the jeep since 2008. Looks similar to undercover fabs design though
Great Video , Replacing mine today with Torq Master axle shafts.
wj?
Thank you for this amazing video. Great thanks 🙏
@Beached Ferrari would you be able to recreate this cover and sell one? Seems like you did some nice work making yours and I’m sure lots of people like myself would buy them from you if you can make more. Let me know, thanks! Love the videos btw too!
Unfortunately with life, I haven't had time to duplicate any
Dana 30 RCV axel install can be run with 38” tire ?
I wouldn't recommend it. Ring and pinion are still weak. I also snapped a stub shaft on the rcvs with a 37s.
@@beachedferrari Did they warranty the shaft? They have limit on 35s for D30 shafts don't they?
@@mightymikee they did for me
Can you still run lockers with this setup?
Of course
Replacing my ball joints soon. Seems like it would be easier to just leave the hub connected to the axle shaft and pull them out of the tube connected, maybe i'm missing something?
You certainly can
I know this video on atlas install is old but I was curious if you had a body lift on the lj.
Yes. 1" pucks
I did an oil change on my TH and, judging by the quantity of oil that came out (and by virtue of the fact the sump screw is lower than the Oil Cooler), I reckon the Oil Cooler drained as well. I’d be interested to gauge opinions on my opinion as if the Oil Cooler required draining surely Jeep would’ve created the access prior to releasing the Beast?!
THANK YOU! Just had one installed on my Jeep and you helped me tremendously.
Thank you for this!
I had the same thing on mine fixed it the same way.
Mods?
Was It hard to freespool?
Didn't free spool as nice as my broken in warn m8000 on my other jeep. At times you have to power out even while free spooling
@@beachedferrari Damn. I'm already thinking of buy the new gen x20... they look simular to the xrc gen3. Might have to wait it out.. I had an old warn m8k. It free spools nicely.
I haven't looked at the new one yet. My advice, if you plan to use it go Warn. If it is just incase, then the Smitty should work.
@@beachedferrari might just pay more for a warn vr evo 10s... guess even a Chinese warn is still better than a Chinese smitty
I really wanted to hear what you had to say but what's with the obnoxious freaking music??? I couldn't make it through your review. Too bad!!!
Great vid , right to the point, but just next time lower the music or no music it's a bit hard trying to get all tour sating and specially if you want to know how to change your oil change the right way
What year can I do this to
I dont think its supposed to shift like that???? it should shift smoothly no hangups????
Looking to sell a skid plate ?
For the oil cooler I need 1
Could you make me a skid plate ?? Looking to purchase
If I had some spare time I would. Unfortunately, I have been tied up with work and haven't had much shop time.
Knurling vs. Smooth?.. It seems you're saying if knurled joints come out... Smooth joints WON'T go in, but if smooth come out, they'll accept either?.. Or is it only Remove/Replace with like kinds? Also it seems Spicer/Dana is out of the TJ ball joint business; later Jeeps, still.
What you said is correct.
Stabbing it works best for me. Tried the launch control and was slower every time.
MD Jeeper!!! 👋👋
this video makes me mad because a similar thing happened to my 04 wrangler.. ON THE FILL NECK... i did something similar to fix it and now i have an EVAP pressure switch code.. because i drove it for almost a year with an evap leak... those lines SHOULD NOT BREAK!!!!!!!! and you have to rig them to fix them.. great video... i subbed
Thanks. Just got these RCV's for my LJR. Had no idea about the grinding on the knuckles, but installed new ball joints anyway so that worked out. Since RCV did'nt include ANY instruction, this was helpful. But would like to have seen more info on the new axle retaining nuts. Still 36mm? Still 135# torque? Are the new joints pre-greased? Or did you add a couple pumps? TIA
Thank for vid. The only problem I see is that not everyone has a bulky expensive lathe sitting in their garage.
Bet you have a box of various sized round drill bits though
@Beached Ferrari I bet you may be right. Probably a few sets. Some are broken but most are good. I imagine they might fit into any one of the 3 drills I have also. Now if I can just learn to keep it straight as I bore a hole. Lol
Would really liked to have seen where the box was drilled for the ram hoses.
