Anyone every find a Comanche with a T-4 or T-5 in it? They were used in 84-85 Cherokees and I vaguely remember years ago someone saying they had one in their MJ and I guess I just filed it away as fact in my head and never thought about it again.

A few things come to mind: fuel pump relay, ignition switch, or a fusible link over by the battery.

Everybody please don't let the discussions of Unions get out of hand. That can be a very sticky topic.

The topics are intertwined. In the US we have far more stringent rules for manufacturing and the like (we've got lots o' lawyers). Overseas, well, that can be a problem.

The Comanche Club hats will be made in America. :D

Don't worry, the 3.4L is nothing like the old 2.8 when it comes to performance. If I remember right, it put out 160 hp in the Camaro. What was the 2.8L, 110hp?

Everyone please keep the discussion civil (if that's possible). China has some major problems with oversight and quality control that come from having a corrupt government and an un-empowered work force. But change is on the horizon and I'm hoping for the best here. Maybe all the current problems will convince Americans to put a bit more effort into their purchases, thus forcing the big companies to do the same. It's all about the money unfortunately. :( But the internet and the cell phone are making it harder and harder for the Chinese government to maintain an ignorant and subserviant (sp?) workforce. They just might start to unionize yet (or some form of a union).

You can order them now and pay later. It's not like I'll be charging interest here. :D

It's a different transmission, but my old Peugeot would get difficult to shift when the fluid level was low (which happened every month due to the leak).

:hmm:

We have enough hats to place an order (56 at this point in time). I'm just giving everyone else another week and expect to put the order in on the 17th. PM me your stuff. There's no hurry on payment. :cheers:

If it hasn't been stickered, then maybe it'd be ok. Have you asked the truck yet if it minds?

Double priming? I'm not familiar with this term. :hmm:

There's really not much that you can yank out for any benefit. To me, dropping emissions testing means the most if my truck wasn't quite passing the sniffer test (oh, and paying for the stupid tests). I live in Michigan (haven't had any testing for years) and the only thing any of my trucks are missing is the cat on 2 of them (bought them like that). But somehow I doubt any of the Jeeps would pass a sniffer test with flying colors. :roll:

What brand is that trackbar? :eek:

Then if you ever come visit me after you win, you're required to wear gloves. :D

"My first car" could have many meanings. First that I was allowed to drive with any regularity: Dad's '86 Aerostar (v6, stick shift :D ) -long gone First that I could even have remotely considered "mine": Mom's old '85.5 Escort (stick, last year for the carb) -long gone First used that I bought: my '88 MJ (2wd at the time) -still have First new that I bought: '2000 Dakota R/T -still have

Blown engine or not it was one sweeeeet ride. :D I assume you told the new owner about the club, yes? :brows:

Fullwidth baby!!!!

Between a couple of the diff cover bolts should be a small metal tag with a bunch of numbers on it. The gear ratio is on there somewhere.

done.

Does this mean your computer has been exorcised? :D

Sorry, been busy. :(

Send me any pic you've got an tell me what size you need it to be. :D petermontie@hotmail.com

I've changed my mind. The DIY forum has been unlocked and you guys can post your finished projects in there at any time and everyone can respond to them at any time. I just ask that the original author update the original post if any changes are made. I know it might make the rest of the discussion sound weird, but I want the first post to be the project.
