Is it located by the rear passenger side door, 2 canisters side by side ?

If so, Those are EVAP canisters.

That was the first company that stated discontinued. I have had 4 do so now. More messages out to other companies with not much hope. Going to head to junk yard and see if I can find there too. Thanks for the suggestion. It is the side by side, just the cylinder canister needed. CANISTER. Fuel Vapor, Vapor. Part Number: 53031584AC

I called a couple of places and both said no one has any, so looks like the junk yard is your only option. That sucks that they have discontinued that part with so many vehicles on the road that use it. There ought to be a law against it.
How bad is the canister damaged? I wonder if you could put some desiccant crystals in it, seal it with a piece of Gorilla tape and get it to pass inspection. All it is is a vapor canister so it might work.

 

Thanks for doing that. You rock!! I think that might be a good plan to just try to seal for the test if I can't find at junk yard. Where can you get the crystals. Is that something I can order through auto parts store is that an online thing? Thanks again!! and ya!! total BS -

GT, moparpartsoverstock.com is one of the places that I called. Yes, they show it on the web site but it is not in stock anywhere according to the person I talked to. I am also going to check with a friend that is the manager of the parts section at a good sized dealer.

 

Here is some at Wal Mart. If you google "desiccant crystals" a lot of sites that sell it come up. Good luck.

Google search is your friend! I have a 96 it only has one canister but they can be taken apart and refilled. You need to get the carbon from a pool supply house.

Their site shows it, but they do not have any and according to the person I talked to no one has them. He checked nation wide inventory.

Will this work for you? Some people are making them out of sprinkler heads!

 

Sorry no luck. My dealer parts guy says there is no replacement for it and it is not available anymore. So that means junk yard or ebay. He says his parts program shows the last year it was used was 2004.

 

Ask the dealer if they have any in stock, doesn't matter what it goes too! You can fab a bracket/ adapter to make it work!
