Both Ford Explorer and Jeep Grand Cherokee rear disk brakes (which are commonly found on the rear axles of Comanches) have a small drum brake inside the rotor hat for the parking brake. Don't know about the Cadillac ones.

Replaced the coolant that got boiled out.

Somehow I have mud splatters even there. No clue how I (or my daughter) managed that. :dunno:

You either have a leaking valve cover gasket or a rear main seal leak dripping oil onto the exhaust.

Right now the back end as I had the tailgate completely under water when I accidentally fell into a river a few hours after my daughter got done covering it in mud.

Never been to Bundy Hill yet, but it's in the plans for some time this year.

Get your mind out of the gutter before I knock you! She's 15, been wheeling since she was 13 and better than most people I ride with. More common sense than myself also meaning she wouldn't have let the truck end up in a river.

You could probably follow my daughter. Up until the point where she goes into Back Woods...

Yeah I was there. Broke an axle shaft and got two new dents on a new trail (changed the axle shaft and then ran it successfully), rode shotgun while my daughter wheeled making two new trails (following staff members around) and getting it good and muddy, then the last trail I decided to do before leaving Sunday afternoon I "oopsed" and ended up in the river. 10K winch still smells hot from fishing me out of there. After I got turned back toward the bank the tail gate was under water, the front wheels had sunk to the axle into soft silt and gravel, and I had to go up a 3' vertical bank to get out.

I think the Doritos one was the best, followed by Ferris Buehler. 7ksQWxlaUAg

I had a 2wd Comanche, it's now 4wd (but still a 2,5). I have a 2wd Cherokee, completing the 4wd swap some time this month. They're Jeeps. They are supposed to be 4wd.

Yesterday I put two new dents in it (were dents there already, they're just bigger now), ripped off driver side cab vent and broke an axle shaft. Today, lost passenger mirror, truck decided to go for a swim in a river (about crapped my pants when she went over the edge), overheated it, cracked the windshield, broke the winch controller and had the winch smoking. But as my daughter will undoubtedly agree, a great weekend nonetheless.

:thumbsup:

I also think the reason for the 4.0/4x4 bias is because that's what the majority of our trucks are.

As close as I could measure it, my average mileage (to 0.1 gallon) has not changed. My current tires (35x12.50 MTs) sucked it down, though.

Nothing wrong with the 5.2 V8, but Chrysler transmissions generally leave a lot to be desired (although I know one 94 ZJ that is over 200K and still doing good on the original 42RE).

Buddy of mine had a 90 two door Cherokee that color brown, including all the factory the chrome trim. Only difference is his bumper was chrome too.

I have no problem with driving on or in snow. It's the salt that's a bugger. In my area it's a crap shoot. They spray brine on the road three times in a row to get ready for a day of rain. Then it snows six inches and other than plow they don't do anything because they're afraid of going over budget on salt. :doh: But they make the school buses run on 1/2" of freezing rain too, while the police is advising people to not go to work because of road conditions. :nuts:

I would just do the front and see what it looks like. After twenty some years of sagging it's hard to predict and every truck is different.

No CAD axle that I have seen (seven to date) has been machined for a seal on the passenger side of the diff. That's why the non-stock seal. The original seal by the CAD housing does not need to be removed.

Remove disconnect system, wheels, brake calipers and rotors, unit bearings and axle shafts on both sides except passenger inner shaft. Remove diff cover, remove tension pin holding center shaft (tap it out using a properly sized rod (like a drill bit)), Slide center shaft back to where the flat spot allows the inner shaft to move inwards. Remove axle shaft C clip, and axle shaft. Reinstall center shaft and lock in place with a new tension pin (available from most hardware store for a dime or less). Remove carrier bearing caps and carrier. Tap seal into passenger side tube. (Now is a good time to replace the driver side seal as well) Put everything back, except with your new shafts. (This is from memory, I hope I got it all right).

You need an oil seal on the passenger side of the differential. First page of my build thread (link is in my signature) should have a part number that works.

54 degrees now, hit 60 yesterday. I think average high for this time of year is below freezing.

For just a meet and greet, I'd like to suggest Papa Bears in North Canton. Great pasta and more or less central to the majority of Buckeye Comanches. No suggestion on a date, though.

I usually take a snack pack pudding, a yogurt, handful of granola bars, optional bag of microwave popcorn and three sandwiches. I try to keep my sandwiches mixed up so I don't get sick of anything, but all time favorites are meatloaf (the home made stuff), egg salad, chicken salad and cookie. Yes, a cookie sandwhich. Butter two slices of bread, put two speculaas cookies (a spiced Dutch/German cookie) in between them and enjoy. Learned this in 5th grade camp, and never outgrew it. Also European staples like choclate flakes or Nutella. I also like Heinz sanwich spread (the Dutch variety), but after 25 years I still have not found it in North America yet.
