Strokermjcomanche

Just figured I’d give an update in case anybody was wondering. I understand that I’m not the only one that has had to go through this, and I unfortunately won’t be the last either. My mom had breast cancer roughly 4 years, she passed away December 1, 2024. Then I lost my job December 20, 2024. My father passed away in 1994. I have a brother that lives in Colorado, but I’m the only family member that lived in close proximity to my mom. Now I am dealing with her estate, and have some decisions that I need to make. Some are easy, and some are going to be difficult. I guess the main reason, or the potential main reason I’m posting here will be I may be selling off some or all of what I have as far as Comanches go, or Jeep in general. I still haven’t made any final decisions, and I have to wait to find to see what kind of job I’m going to get. If I find something good, I may be able to swing it that I keep both houses. That would allow me to have my house as my work area, and my mom‘s house as a living area. I’m really not interested in renting any kind of shop. If I do sell, I’ll make sure to post here if that’s all right with Pete. I do have a lot of stuff and will be dreading having to go through everything, hopefully everybody here is doing well.

Bosch 69302

What section are you referring to? I installed one of his prototypes and I don’t recall there being any real differences between the two.

Yeah the ignition switch might be bad inside not allowing everything to move freely. You should be able to check it before you purchase another switch that we don’t have to spend extra money for nothing

All right I guess I’ll throw the Mishi Moto at it. Have to wait for the stupid overflow nipple That they say is included but it’s not. I will update with the results. Thanks everyone

I have the Mopar fan, just a plain Jane GMB water pump, the Mopar clutch fan. I’m aware of the high flow water pumps, but I do have the new comer thermostat housing.What are the issues with that? I don’t care if I have to change something else

I should add that I do have a MishiMoto radiator, but after reading those reviews I’m not even sure I want to put it in.

What’s a good upgraded radiator? I just recently got done installing my 4.6 stroker in my essentially 95 swapped Comanche. Everything was new including the radiator when I installed it a few weeks ago. It has been running hot and I have gone through the timing an air to fuel ratio and they are both good. Also changed fan clutch and that didn’t help either . I’m looking for a radiator that I can put in once and not have to deal with again. I have read through a lot of reviews on a lot of radiators and can’t seem to find one that has nearly all positive reviews, most of them only lasts either a couple months or a couple years. I’ve had good luck with the spectra and Murray radiators for my stock applications, but it’s not doing the job on this truck . Anybody have any advice?

I believe the dowel pins started in 96 , which would explain why your 92 doesn’t have them . I haven’t come across any other reason except for better alignment. I’m sure you know cutting a couple old head bolts and sliding the head over them will net the same result. Depending on the head that you are using , you may want to consider using a different year head gasket that won’t have the dowel holes in it . I believe that when the 4.0 started using the ignition coil rail 99/00 Is when the 4.0 stopped using the cam thrust pin . I believe they swapped to the 2 retaining bolts as it better prevented the cam from walking better than the spring pin did . The later timing cover doesn’t have a place for the cam bolt spring pin to push against just as an FYI . You would need to use an older cover . If you decide to use a double roller timing chain sometimes you need to clearance the new timing cover inside to prevent the chain/cover from rubbing/grinding .

Interested in the revolver , I can pm if needed

My condolences to his family and friends .

I don’t have pictures currently, but I have noticed on some of the wheels that there is a recess where the lug nut seats on some wheels but not on others . I always chalked it up to the ones with the recess are for the rear and the ones that weren’t were for the front due to the rear studs being shorter .

First of all you want to find a good place that you can get above 43 mile an hour that doesn’t have a whole bunch of traffic or anybody behind you. When you get above 43 miles an hour you are going to keep your right foot on the gas to maintain slightly above 43mph and use your left foot and lightly apply the brakes , you should notice the engine speed change to a higher RPM if I recall correctly. Somebody else may be able to explain it better than I can, but I had a Cherokee that would stalk when slowing down and that was the issue. I ended up replacing the transmission I never had a problem since. Seems to be more common in the 2wd for some reason

Have you checked to make sure the torque converter isn’t remaining locked up when decelerating ? That will stall an engine.

To be clear it wasn’t the whole crossmember it was just the adapter plate that bolts to the bottom of the transmission that has the rubber isolator that the exhaust mount slides into. It mounts between the transmission mount and the transmission itself.No other considerations ....just so I didn’t have to modify anything. As long as they make those stainless pipe I shouldn’t have to do anything extra again.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184867586044 this company has pipes / muffler that should work . The muffler/pipes are stainless The muffler bolts right on , the pipe hanger may need modified to work . I ended up switching the exhaust/trans mount bracket to a 96 + xj and if slides right in with no mods . plenty of stainless converters to choose from too

I do . How soon do you need it?

Pm sent

It’s hard to believe somebody’s proud of that. Change is inevitable , however I would want some sort of style to make it appealing to the majority of people possibly looking at spending however much that costs ( which I’m sure isn’t cheap) . I know you can shoot it with a smaller caliber gun and it won’t go through the panels, I don’t plan on getting shot at either lol

Does the noise match the speed that you’re going? In other words does it go faster as you go faster, or slower as you go slower? Without being close to it, I would say something internal. However maybe u joints, or throw out bearing are a couple other things I can think of off the top my head
