Can Spell Comanche (2/11)
-
Thanks all the screws were taken out. Just seems to be cliped in the one spot. Sounds like i just have to slowly work it out
-
Hello all, I'm in the process of trying to get my dash out of my comanche and it seems like there is one last little spot holding me up that i can't figure out. The defroster trim piece cowl piece near the windshield seems to be hung up right where the defroster vent hooks to it. I'm assuming its snapped in but i have tried tugging on the cowling piece and it won't pop lose. I'm just wondering if there are any special tricks or a way it unclips that I havent seen. Trying not to break it and this is the last piece I need off to get to the bolts behind it and then the whole dash should come out. Any help will be great. Thanks

Propotional valve not working correctly
Oldred87 replied to Oldred87's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Yeah thats the piece that is giving me trouble i still have some brake to the rear but when bleeding the rear the pedal never really builds pressure when pressed or it is inconsistent in building pressure. When i plugged the rears and just bleed the fronts it worked great. I know this piece pictured above distributes which way the brake fluid goes being front or rear. Gonna see if this fixes the problem if not gonna check out the wheel cylinder in the rear even though i doubt i is because no fluid is leaking back there like it would if a cylinder was bad. -

Yes thats the piece I'm talking about underneath the master cylinder their is a little valve or pin whatever you would call it that is hanging up on me trying to find a way to get it to move guessing it is something different on the mj so guess he cj would be different. Thanks -
Propotional valve not working correctly
Oldred87 posted a topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
So been going through my brake system the pass couple weeks and put all new lines a new master cylinder and booster. Went to check on the propotional valve and seems the pin inside is hanging up not letting me get rear brake. Was just wondering if anybody knew how to fix this or any where i can get a system that would work since everytime i search i never can find one. Maybe another one from a different vehicle will work. thanks -
Sucks that craftsman is going to being made in china crap but at this point not many things are made in the US anymore. All i have to say is i hope our next president makes it cheaper for busniess to be here it is amazing how much they are taxed and why they go over seas. But anyway i useally always look for any old craftsman, snap on or mac tools when i go to yardsales and flea markets. The best place is to try swap meets they always have a ton of good tools you can buy for cheap

Looking for a original gas tank skid plate
Oldred87 replied to Oldred87's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Yeah just noticed that last night so actually not as easy to find in a junkyard considering the ones by me are lucky to get a comanche in there yard once a year and at that a long bed also which is what my truck is so not that easy done as it was said. Maybe see what else pops up -

Its the black plastic skid plate -
Recently found a leak in my gas tank so I am in the process of fixing it. Took the skid plate off the bottom of the truck and one of the straps is stuck on to the longer part of the skid plate. Keep trying to drill the bolts out to get the strap off so I can reuse the skid plate. Not having much luck so I'm seeing if I can find another one somewhere to buy. Can be original or a replacement would like it to look like the old one if possible since I'm in the process of restoring the truck back to factory new condition. Or if anybody knows good tips to get the strap off it would be much appreciated. Thank you

So i have a after market pioneer radio in my truck and a couple months back it sounded like a cd was skipping in it then it all the sudden went to where it shuts itself on and off. Kept trying to play with it but nothing worked. So i figured it was the radio so i went out and bought a new pioneer cheap. Went and wires it all up and when i plugged it in it did the same thing that the old pioneer did. I checked the fuse and it looks good even put a new one in and still had the same problem. All the wires look fine and nothing looks fryed. Even checked the current in the wires and it was saying the 12 volts so its getting power. My dad is saying he thinks its the attenna but the radio does the same thing when its on cd mood so idk how the attenna can affect that. The only thing that works on the radio is the AUX mood. Also i noticed once i took the key out the inginiton had some play in it and was still halfway on cause i could hear the fan going and putting out air with the key out of it so idk if maybe that has something to do with it. Anybody have any ideas. Everthing else works fine on it the lights and all that are fine. Any help would be great

great looking comanche i was also lucky with mine since my dad was the first owner lol

Agreed had the chance to takes parts off a mj in a junkyard and didnt thinking i would need stuff went there a week later to get something and it was gone. Make sure u replace the valve cover gasket once u get the truck they go bad and make sure ur friends arent trying to jump in thebed while u are driving away. Happened to me tailgate drop since one of them grab the handle and now the tailgate is all messed up
-
i would def get it dosent look that bad for how old and looks like a great project and u can get more then what u paid if u decided u don't want it and junk it. But i love those trucks wish i could find one
