I would check for vacuum leaks, especially around the manifolds

I do not! (not yet at least ) I would love it if you could do a writeup for the DIY. hopefully it would inspire others to not give up on their current 'gate.

it's a 3 decade old truck. a lot depends on how it's been treated over the years. and even then, time is a hell of a curse to rubber and pals tics.

got a pair of reds making a nest in the yard. just like a few years back, they choose a tree waaaaaay at the back. but we'll enjoy them with the spotting scope until the foliage fills in.

falling behind on what my little half-a-jeep has been up to

found another?

pretty sure the dodge fullsize truck is a 5 on 5.5

thanks! I knew I saw them somewhere.

still good idea to clean all the grounds. :) that one will help keep your brake lights bright.

did you clean up all of the connections at the starter relay?

I do not, but I guess I should probably look into that.

pull out partially and it turns on the side/tail markers. all the way turns on the headlights.

the headlight switch turns power to the headlights on/off, it does not select between hi/lo. if your highs are on, the headlight switch should turn them off. so if you can indeed switch the Highs off, the hi/lo switch seems to work ok. next can you confirm that you are indeed getting 12 volts to the low beam wire of the headlight socket? I'd hate for all of this to be caused by both low filaments being burned out by coincidence.

or in need of adjustment. the nuts on top allow for that. I circled one. you can test the switch by pushing where the arrow is with your finger. should click and change between high and low.

now go update your resume

so you can turn off the hibeams? or just temporarily while pulling the turn signal stalk?

also does anyone have a link to the replacement behind the hvac panel? my searches are being overwhelmed with the resistor pack ones and my brain is sick of looking.

just like the headlights, the hvac wiring leaves much to be desired. melted connectors abound. has anyone invented a fix yet to take the load off the factory stuff? or are we still just stuck with stock replacement and finger crossing?

blue sky = win

oh my...

not that I've ever seen that were "for a Comanche". I'd imagine there are more generic tanks out there that might work. but even then I have my doubts. it's probably going to need to be a custom box. unless you want to do a fuel cell in the bed. or you can do what I do and carry 10 gallons in these stylish army cans

or are you talking about a gigantic one?

the 23 gallon is available for the long bed.

I do believe that rockauto has the wipes. probably gotta search for a 4dr XJ though. chances are the bracket you seek is a junkyard item.
