Thanks. I just did.

That is the only gasket that comes up at either NAPA or RA.

I planned on replacing my intake gasket on my 1987 Comanche w/2.5L engine. The first one I purchased has a foil surface on both sides. When I removed the manifolds I found a crack about 2/3's of the way around the exhaust manifold. I purchased a new replacement which came with a new combo manifold gasket. One side has the foil surface and the other side has a typical paper look. Which one is better if there is any difference and which surface goes toward the head?

How would i go about having that done?

To tell the truth I'm just guessing here. About 3 years ago I started having a bogging problem occasionally when starting to accelerate. It would go away when I shifted to 2nd. It got worse over the years and now doesn't want to idle. Starts good but I have to play with the gas to keep it running but after about a minute it quits. Starts right back up but keeps doing the same thing. I thought it wasn't getting enough fuel so I changed the pump and filter which made no difference. I'm in the process of replacing manifold gasket so I haven't been able to see if that made any difference or not. I did clean the IAT sensor too.

I cannot find the IAT at any parts sellers and the ISA at NAPA or RA don't look like the one I have.

What are the correct names or terms for these devices. The small one is on the intake manifold and the larger one is on the throttle body. 1987 Comanche 2.5L. Thanks.

Shoot you're a day late. I just ordered all the parts from Boxy Jeep that I'll need to build a complete cluster. The only gauge they didn't have was a fuel gauge for a full cluster. You wouldn't have one would you?

Do you have any 87-90 clusters with the gauges with or without the tach?

If you have 95 and up buckets and want to mount them in your Comanche look back to my post from 5/2/23 in the MJ tech : mods and repairs section and you can see how I mounted my buckets from a 1995 Cherokee in my 1987 Comanche.

Not sure if you would want to do it but you can get very nice leather steering wheel covers in colors from wheelskins.com that you stitch on. Takes about an hour. I've installed over a half dozen on different vehicles.

Check with crustyballer on this forum. He sells reproduction brackets.

My thoughts exactly.

The gauge cluster looks the same as the one in my 87. I thought the style changed around 1990.

All the parts that make it are all gone. Not much of a Street Comanche anymore.

I missed that it was for the ebrake. Mine is still there.

Just wondering if there is a difference between a manual or automatic brake pedal configuration. My Comanche is a manual also and I don't see any rubber stopper on mine.

Automatic or standard transmission?

Is there something in the TSM that describes what it should be? Just curious.

I thought it probably wasn't. Wonder why there is tab with timing marks and a line on the dampner?

Found it. Thanks. I also noticed that the engine has timing marks on the front cover. Is the timing adjustable and if so what should it be?

Where is the CPS located on the 2.5L? It's a 1987.

I have some in black from a 1987 Comanche if you'd like to dye them.

I was able to find the correct 4spd knob form Summit a few years ago. Really had to scroll through all the options to find it but it's correct looking.

Thanks I'll stick with I have then.
