2001 TJ Air Cleaner
Hello,
I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4.0 L. I purchased a new air
cleaner/filter (Mopar part # 04797777AC). The stock filter & the Mopar
replacement are both the same size, but it sits in the air cleaner box on
top of a foam pad (same dimensions L x W & is ~ 3/4" thick). The foam pad
is impregnated with oil. The replacement does not come with a new pad. I
purchased the new filter at my original dealership (Goodwin/Sumter, SC) and
checked at another (Galeana/Columbia, SC), & neither show this foam pad in
their system.
My question is should I re-use this pad and what do I do when it becomes
unusable? Without it, will create a gap in the top of the air cleaner box
even though the filter is surrounded by a rubber seal. Or should I just
throw away the foam pad and put in the new filter without it? The Jeep is 3
years old and is the first air cleaner replacement.
Thanks very much,
Campbell Freeman

Re: 2001 TJ Air Cleaner
They did make a change to the replacement filters. Throw the old one away along
with the pad, and put the new one in as is. It'll be fine.

Re: 2001 TJ Air Cleaner
Thanks very much for the info. One final question. The way the stock
filter is mounted in the box is foam pad on the bottom and the filter on top
of it, pleats down, screen/gasket side facing up. I have seen pictures of
filters mounted both ways...pleats up or down. Which is correct or does it
matter?
Thanks again,
