FSM troubleshooting for gas gauge: Ignition in RUN position Disconnect C139 ... Needle should go to F(ull). If not ... Connect C139. Place ohmmeter on C203. Resistance should indicate between 0 and 88 ohms. (0 if tank is empty, 88 if tank is full.) C139 is the connector at the back of the vehicle, where the pigtails from the fuel pump and sender connect. C203 is where the sensors plug into the cluster. The feed for the fuel gauge is the tan wire.

Do they use salt on the roads in Idaho? The condition of the floors, rocker panels, cab corners, and the rear quarters above the flares makes a YUUUGE difference in value.

The only Wrangler I would be tempted by these days is an LJ, 2-door Unlimited. But the caution about the frame is very accurate. I have a friend who owns a late TJ. His frame cracked last summer while he was just driving it home from work. He spent several weeks and quite a few $$$ welding in a frame reinforcement kit over the rear wheels.

Here's where we part company. IMHO, it's definitely a giant step in the wrong direction.

Once again ... please identify the year(s) for which your diagram applies.

Gents, I think it would help tremendously to identify those diagrams by year. I'm not certain, but I suspect there may be differences between Renix and HO versions.

I find it fascinating that AMC printed a FSM for a 94-95 Comanche in 1985. They must have really been planning ahead.

And the 82-91 Wagoneers don't use the same wheel bolt pattern as the XJ/MJ.

And that was the Chrysler 360, not the AMC 360. I would much prefer the AMC 360.

Thanks, Pete. Still no internet at home. Checking in when I can.

Sent.

Looks good to me, Pete. Let's just make it happen.

Thanks, Pete. I'm still in limbo for connectivity, but I'll send some $$$ to you by snail mail.

I am devastated. I've been out of power and communication since Sunday afternoon due to an ice storm here in Connecticut. Got power back late last night, the house is starting to warm up, and I logged onto Comanche Club to find this. I have been concerned that there weren't any updates, but this surely wasn't the update that I was expecting or hoping for. Abby, Alma, Kelly, Chris, and all of the Hornbrook family, I offer my deepest sympathy and my condolences. I never met Don in person but I considered him a friend, as well as a comrade in arms (I'm also a Vietnam veteran). If I recall correctly, I think I was the one who suggested Don to Pete as a moderator here, and he was a good choice. This place is going to seem very empty without his input. Gotta go. Screen's getting fuzzy.

Death toll is up to 73 at last report -- and about an equal number badly injured. You really have to wonder about people who think it's a great idea to take a shower in gasoline.

Have you checked where the vacuum line runs beneath the battery tray in the engine compartment? That's where it connects to the vacuum reservoir (a.k.a. the "blimp" or the "football") behind the front bumper. The line often deteriorates beneath the battery tray.

Welcome, Amigo -- I'm glad you resurfaced among us. I still relate the story of the time we all ended a trail ride at Wright's Farm in RI, and someone offered to pass you the salad bowl. "Salad?!? That's not food, that's what food eats!"

I used to know someone in NAXJA who used the screen name CheapXJ. Is that you, Ryan?

The thing is, the version is Pete's images is basically our official (or quasi-official) logo at this point. Another image might be more realistic (for those who have huge tires), but it won't be representative of the Comanche Club as an organization. I went through this years ago with the old Javelin/AMX Sports Car Club of Connecticut. We had a logo, using the outline of the state of Connecticut infilled with the red, white, and blue colors of AMC. At one point we needed to get new decals made up. While the officers were getting prices, one of the members (who was a vice-president of a Fortune 500 company, and a very self-important asshat) took things into his own hands and had his graphics department make up a bunch. The problem was, they didn't use our design -- they came up with their own design. They got the shape of the state wrong, the arrangement of the colors within the outline wrong, the used the wrong type font -- and they didn't use the correct AMC colors. So, to summarize -- they were crap.

Eliminator? Those were the outlyers.

From the manuscript of the book I started. Please note: This is copyrighted, and by posting it here I do NOT grant permission to copy it and distribute it anywhere, in any form. CC members can make a copy for their own reference, but not transfer or transmit it in any form to anyone. Please respect my intellectual property. In general, the parts to be concerned with in keeping the front brakes compatible are the steering knuckles, the hub/bearing assemblies, the rotors, and the calipers. (There is a more complete enumeration of the interrelationship of these parts in Chapter 6, Axles.) Only two steering knuckle designs were used: 1984 through 1989, and 1990 through 2001. Left and right side knuckles are different part numbers within each group. Three different hub/bearing units were used. The hub/bearing units are the same for both sides of the vehicle. The different years for hub/bearing assemblies were: 1984 through 1989; 1990 through mid-1999 (composite rotors); and late-1999 through 2001 (cast rotors). Three rotor types were used: 1984 through 1989; 1990 through mid-1999 (composite); and late-1999 through 2001 (cast). Only two caliper types were used: 1984 through 1989, and 1990 through 2001. Left and right side calipers are different part numbers within each group.

There may be a difference. The XJs had floor-mounted shifters for the automatics, so they didn't have a PRNDL display in the cluster. The MJs with the automatic did have the PRNDL display. There are work-arounds ... you can use an XJ shifter in an MJ, or you can simply install a PRNDL on the steering colum, as Hornbrod did.

Color? Trim level?
