INSTALLATIONÐYJ MODELS
(1) Place tank into skid plate. Wrap straps around
tank with strap bolts inserted through holes in skid
plate. Tighten strap nuts to 7.3 Nzm (65 in. lbs.) torque.
(2) Raise skid plate/fuel tank until gauge sender wire
connector can be connected to harness connector.
(3) Finish raising skid plate/fuel tank assembly
into position. Tighten mounting nuts to 16 Nzm (12
ft. lbs.) torque. Remove transmission jack.
(4) Connect fuel fill hose and fill vent hose to filler
neck. Tighten hose clamps.
(5) Connect vent hose to vent tube.
(6) Connect fuel supply hose to the supply tube and
fuel return hose to return tube. Tighten hose clamps.
(7) Install fuel filler neck shroud with push clips.
(8) Lower vehicle.
(9) Fill fuel tank. Install filler cap.
(10) Connect negative battery cable to battery.
(11) Start vehicle and inspect for leaks.
FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit is attached to the fuel
pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module in the
Fuel Delivery System section of this group.
FUEL TANK PRESSURE RELIEF/ROLLOVER VALVE
The fuel tank is equipped with a pressure relief/
rollover valve (Fig. 8). The dual function valve will
relieve fuel tank pressure and prevent fuel flow
through the fuel tank vent tubes in the event of ac-
cidental vehicle rollover.
The valve consists of a plunger, spring and orifice/
guide plate (Fig. 9). The valve is normally open allowing
fuel vapor to vent to the EVAP canister. Here it is
stored until it can be consumed by the engine (undercontrolled conditions). The plunger seats in the guide
plate at the orifice preventing liquid fuel from reaching
the EVAP canister. This is done if bottom of plunger is
contacted by fuel sloshing in tank when vehicle is cor-
nering.
In the event of accidental vehicle rollover, the valve
is inverted. In this position the plunger is forced
against the guide plate and raw fuel is prevented
from flowing through the valve orifice into the fuel
tank vent tube.
REMOVAL
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE PRESSURE RELIEF/
ROLLOVER VALVE, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
MUST BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL PRES-
SURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN THIS GROUP.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove the fuel filler cap and drain fuel tank.
Refer to Fuel Tank Removal.
(3) Remove fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Removal.
(4) The rollover valve is seated in a grommet. Re-
move by prying one side upward and then roll the
grommet out of tank (Fig. 8).
INSTALLATION
(1) Start one side of grommet into opening in fuel
tank. Using finger pressure only, press valve/grom-
met into place.
(2) Install fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Installation.
(3) Fill fuel tank. Install fuel tank filler cap.
(4) Connect negative battery cable.
(5) Start vehicle and check for leaks.

Fitting And Cooler Line Service
The cooler lines and quick disconnect fittings are
NOT serviceable. Damaged fittings or cooler lines
are to be replaced as assemblies.
Fittings swedged into cooler line hoses (Fig. 25) are
serviced only as part of the entire cooler line.
DISCONNECTING COOLER LINES WITH
QUICK DISCONNECT FITTINGS
(1) If fitting and cooler line are encrusted with
dirt, mud, or grease, clean fitting and cooler line
with Mopar spray type carburetor or brake cleaner.
Plastic release tool will not fit into retainer clip if fit-
ting is full of foreign material.
(2) Slide small plastic release tool into fitting until
tool bottoms against flange on cooler line (Fig. 26).
(3) Push and turn tool to spread retainer clip and
pull cooler line out of fitting (Fig. 26).
(4) Cover open ends of cooler lines and fittings to
prevent dirt entry.
(5) Inspect condition of fitting. Replace transmis-
sion fitting as an assembly if fitting body or retainer
clip is damaged. Replace cooler line as assembly, if
fitting swedged into cooler line hose, is damaged.
REATTACHING COOLER LINES WITH QUICK
DISCONNECT FITTINGS
(1) If transmission or radiator fittings require re-
placement, apply Mopar Lock N' Seal, or Loctite 242
to fitting threads before installation.
(2) Wipe off cooler line and fitting with clean, dry
cloth.
(3) Insert cooler line into fitting. Then push line
inward until retainer clip secures line. A snap or
click sound will be heard and felt through the line
when the retainer clip seats behind the cooler line
flange.
(4)Pull outward on cooler lines to verify that
they are properly secured.
CAUTION: The wire retainer clips must secure the
cooler lines in the fittings. If the clips are deformed, or
distorted, normal fluid pressure could unseat the cooler
lines resulting in fluid loss and transmission damage.
Be very sure the cooler lines are firmly secured by the
retainer clip as described in step (4) above.

VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place
during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves
and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve
body components should all slide into place easily.
In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate
and valve body screws during reassembly. Over-
tightening can distort the valve body resulting in
valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory op-
eration. Tighten valve body screws to recom-
mended torque only.

JNP231 TRANSFER CASE 21 - 283
Radial runout of more than 1.5 mm (.060 inch)
measured at the center line of the tread may cause
the vehicle to shake.
Lateral runout of more than 2.0 mm (.080 inch)
measured near the shoulder of the tire may cause the
vehicle to shake.
Sometimes radial runout can be reduced. Relocate
the wheel and tire assembly on the mounting studs
(See Method 1). If this does not reduce runout to an
acceptable level, the tire can be rotated on the wheel.
(See Method 2).
METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
Check accuracy of the wheel mounting surface; ad-
just wheel bearings.
Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire flat
spotting from a parked position.
Make sure all wheel nuts are properly torqued.
Relocate wheel on the mounting, two studs over
from the original position.
Re-tighten wheel nuts until all are properly
torqued, to eliminate brake distortion.
Check radial runout. If still excessive, mark tire
sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum
runout and proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
Rotating tire on wheel is particularly effective
when there is runout in both tire and wheel.Remove tire from wheel and re-mount wheel on
hub in former position.
Check wheel radial runout (Fig. 9).
²STEEL WHEELS: Radial runout 0.040 in., Lateral
runout 0.045 in.
²ALUMINUM WHEELS: Radial runout 0.030 in.,
Lateral runout 0.035 in.
If point of greatest runout is near original chalk
mark, remount tire 180 degrees. Recheck runout.
VEHICLE VIBRATION
Vehicle vibration can be caused by:
²Tire/wheel unbalance or excessive runout
²Defective tires with extreme tread wear
²Nylon overlay flat spots (performance tires only)
²Incorrect wheel bearing adjustment (if applicable)
²Loose or worn suspension/steering components
²Certain tire tread patterns
²Incorrect drive shaft angles or excessive drive
shaft/yoke runout
²Defective or worn U-joints
²Excessive brake rotor or drum runout
²Loose engine or transmission supports/mounts
²And by engine operated accessories
Refer to the appropriate Groups in this man-
ual for additional information.
VIBRATION TYPES
There are two types of vehicle vibration:
²Mechanical
²Audible.
Mechanical vehicle vibration can be felt through
the seats, floor pan and/or steering wheel.
Audible vehicle vibration is heard above normal
background noise. The sound can be a droning or
drumming noise.Vibrations are sensitive to change in engine
torque, vehicle speed or engine speed.
ENGINE TORQUE SENSITIVE VIBRATION
This vibration can be increased or decreased by:
²Accelerating
²Decelerating
²Coasting
²Maintaining a constant vehicle speed
VEHICLE SPEED SENSITIVE VIBRATION
This vibration condition always occurs at the same
vehicle speed regardless of the engine torque or en-
gine speed.
ENGINE SPEED (RPM) SENSITIVE VIBRATION
This vibration occurs at varying engine speeds. It
can be isolated by increasing or decreasing the en-
gine speed with the transmission in NEUTRAL posi-
tion.
VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS
A vibration diagnosis should always begin with a
10 mile (16 km) trip (to warm the vehicle and tires).
Then a road test to identify the vibration. Corrective
