3In Lift Extended Brake Lines?
Pete M replied to 87MJproject's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
yup, stock 95 YJ lines up front and stock 95 Dakota line in the back give plenty of length. :thumbsup: -
How Robust Is The 4.0 Engine Block?
Pete M replied to Oyaji's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
and there is a big difference between "overheating" and "overheating enough to damage the block". plenty of the prior for any old car/jeep, very very few of the later of our old 4.0s. it's really not much of a concern when block-shoppin'. :thumbsup: -
for every big item that it makes sense, there are a dozen little, easily mailed parts that now everyone would have to read through each and every partition to find. :(

Christmas Eve Starter Problems. Please Help.
Pete M replied to 54bobby's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
do make sure that any manual trans is in neutral (and better yet, someone also has their foot firmly on the brake) before trying to crank over the engine via touching the starter. :thumbsup: we don't want ya running yourself over with your own truck. :shake: -
What Axle Should I Put In The Front Its An 88
Pete M replied to CIARA's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
technically it's "lower" gears. the higher the number, the lower the gear ratio. I know, it doesn't make much sense. but don't blame me, I didn't come up with the vernacular. :D -
What Axle Should I Put In The Front Its An 88
Pete M replied to CIARA's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs

house was built in the 80s. the bath outlets are on a separate gfi circuit, but the bedroom outlets should be the same as this switch. I'll see of my brother in law has one. mine is in michigan :(

it will not light up an incandescent bulb. not even a little. everything checks out as good in the breaker box so there must be a disconnect in the ground wire somewhere along the line. I look more into it tomorrow. thanks guys :D

doesn't sound especially safe... :doh: found it when trying to replace the light fixture in the bathroom. my voltage detector was going haywire around the light fixture even though the switch was off. thought that the old owners may have been switching the neutral instead of hot, but found this gem instead. yay. :( this should be fun to track down. :fs1:

2 Wheel Drive To 4 Wheel Drive Conversion
Pete M replied to redwolf624's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
No. the 2.5 tranny WILL bolt up to your 2.8L. the 2.5 and 2.8 share the same transmissions. :thumbsup: the 4.0 is the one that has a different transmission bolt pattern. -
trapped in a cage with a 2yr old? I have a feeling that dog is more nervous than you... :yes:

Lower Control Arm Options For Rubbing Tires
Pete M replied to TNCave's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
the idea in my head was looking for maximum droop. the truck has no lift. -
and if everyone has now said their piece, I'm locking up this thread.

and a comanche. they will all be getting a comanche.

Lower Control Arm Options For Rubbing Tires
Pete M replied to TNCave's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
they are WAY stronger than MJ arms and the bushings are both tougher and give a better ride. the only cutting you need to do will not reduce the strength at all. this is the only cut you have to make. the steel insert inside the bushing is just a tad too wide. these are the optional cuts I made in order to get absolute maximum theoretical wheel travel. I didn't have the time to install them uncut first and so I don't have any comparisons for the theoretical "gains". it might be completely negligible. because they touched here up inside the arm pocket on the cab: I also nipped a bit off the axle: but like I said, I wasn't thorough in my testing and don't have any numbers about what might be gained by what I did. they might not have mattered at all. feel free to fill in the gaps if you're up to the extra work. :D -
Let me state one thing and then I'm done with this thread. there is no "favoritism". there is only the adherence to the guiding principle I hold dear: that anyone that wants to talk about comanches can come and do so in a family-friendly, drama-free environment. that's all I want and I will fight for it.

car-part.com can help finding used axles.

someone started one a few years ago. guess it fizzled out.

90' Comanche Heater/blower Motor Problems ????
Pete M replied to mjaddict90's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I'd bet the resistor pack is bad. :thumbsup: it's located in the ductwork under the dash on the passenger side right above the passenger's left foot. comes out with an 8mm wrench I think. the reason high speed still works is that that's the full 12 volts. all other settings go through the resistors to drop the voltage and drop the fan speed. -
going spring-over can yield 5-6 inches of lift. :thumbsup:
