It is possible these gauges were installed this way. http://gojeep.willyshotrod.com/Whitebground.htm May be some one can explain how to remove the needles and get them back in place and functioning accurately. posting.php?mode=reply&f=2&t=14733# I like the gauge faces that show higher speeds and RPMs. look at #11 &16 they go up to 105mph. Yes I know that is not a speed normal traveled, however if you have ever lived out west you know that 85mph is a normal driving speed in some areas. I have been known to drift up in to the upper 90s on empty highways especially on nice days. posting.php?mode=reply&f=2&t=14733# Don't get me wrong, just because your speedo goes to 105mph does not mean you should actually go that fast.posting.php?mode=reply&f=2&t=14733# The gauge faces are down loadable PDFs that you print on a gloss paper. They sell for $10.00 USD. If you want metric units they have those also. posting.php?mode=edit&f=2&p=148513# Kinda cool if you go to or live in Canada. posting.php?mode=edit&f=2&p=148513#

I don't know exactly how to remove the carpet, however if you need to remove moisture I know a good trick. Get some silicone crystal cat litter and put that down on the carpet for a day or so. After that just sweep up the crystals and vacuum what you can't sweep up. The more you put down and the longer you leave it the better it will work. It will draw water out of most anything. When your done you simply put the cat litter in the oven and it will cook off the moisture so you can use it again. I have done this after my windshield had developed a mystery leak and the truck was getting funky. I also used it in my basement.

I have kept a door key in the tail light and an ignition key stashed under the dash. :idea:

What is the schrader valve on the fuel rail normally used for ? I like the gauge, but I'm wondering if the valve is used for something other than checking pressure? (introducing injector cleaner, just releasing pressure ect...) Skibumps

Thanks for all the replies! I don’t think I have any leaks in the system. The truck sat for 3 years because the previous owner did not take it in for an emissions test. Yet the R-12 was still in it and under presser, as I understand. My cousin (Ed) went the Freeze 12 route and while it helped it is not cooling as well as it should. He told me to “just add another can of Freeze 12” to top it off. I would like to go with the R-134a because it is easy to get and you don’t need a license or certification to use it as you do with R-12. I have not found Freeze 12 to be as available as R-134a and R-134a is what is currently used in most cars today. It seems to me that if I stay with Freeze 12 it is more of a bandaid than as solution at this point. If my mechanic captures the R-12 and gives a look for leaks or other problems for a reasonable price, I will make the switch. Thanks again :bowdown: Skibumps

FYI: I just bought a 90 Comanche from my cousin, 4.0L 5 speed 90k miles. So far I like the truck, it has good manners on the street and great in the snow. Feels a lot like my old Wrangler. My question is can I use R-134a refrigerant or do I need to change the entire system out to have A/C? I understand that I will have to recycle the R-12, it's the right thing to do. After that I would like to use a R-134a conversion kit and top it off. Has any one done this? Does it work or do I need to go deeper in my wallet to make cold air.? Thanks Mark AKA Skibumps
