have you run compression and leakdown tests?

the link in my signature should have a couple great threads on transmission swapping.

link says $50 ?

getting close!!!

have you tried cleaning the block so you can pinpoint where new oil is leaking?

the valve cover gasket is a prime candidate for oil leaks and is easy to replace . (don't use cork and read up on the proper torque specs and torque pattern) the headgasket usually fails in a more catastrophic manner so I doubt that is a headgasket issue.

that's just friggen awesome!

It wasn't where I thought it would be so this will take a bit more time to find.

be sure to start a build thread and include lots of pictures!

that is indeed spacious!

how bad is your blowby? have you cleaned out the CCV tubes?

are both trucks the same type of trans? (auto or manual)

beer and driving can kill in more than one way. in an accident that thing is a giant brick flying around inside. always secure your cargo.

I admit it's kinda cool, but... seriously?!

I've only ever removed them, never installed. I can only imagine the headaches trying to get that thing back in there.

added a thing today no idea what it might have come from originally (just a random ebay special), but it's made from aluminum and finally tells the world I have a turbo Jeep

I'm sure he is, but you should probably send a message to him as sometimes the forum software doesn't send out email alerts for new posts.

there's no set rule, but tech Qs from the OP should really get put into the Tech forum because more people look there than the build threads and so more eyeballs = better chance of finding someone with the answer.

I would clean it allllllll up. scrape everything off in the affected area, drill out the spot wells for the frame cap to pull that up, and see what all you're dealing with. if you only have a few tiny pinholes, you're in excellent shape.

need more pics of everything! I have an original Comanche dealership brochure from Venezuela but don't read the language so it's more of less a lot of pretty pictures (non of which include an extended cab)

where di you find a new Peugeot mount?

those new shoes look great!
