I will try and put a new 02 sensor in there and see if that helps hopefully thats all it is.

I have some engine issues. I can fire my comanche up and it starts right up but when you give it some gas it blows out black smoke?? When it runs for awhile it starts idleing up and down and acts like it wants to die but it won't?? Any won no or have any ideas whats wrong with it?

Thanks for the help. What about the steering on the front wagoneer axle will the steering work in my mj or will i have to get something made? My buddy was telling me to take the steering box as well out of the wagoneer and put it in my mj sents it has four bolts holding it in end stead of my mj 3 bolt style?

I was thinking running wheel spacers. But it be cheaper to run one of those isuzu or honda rear dana 44's. Is a 88 grand wagoneer axle vacum or a non vac front axle dana 44?

I just found wagoneer axle for my comanche. I want to swap in the front and rear but i want a long arm kit for the front. Any good kits out there that will keep in those dana 44's. I do still have the puego trans mite need to swap in that AX-15 trans seem like no one has a kit that works with that puego trans? anyone have any good ideas for this swap???????? :hmm:

I'm starting a comanche projected and want to swap out the week old dana 30 and 35 in it now and swap in a set of 1972 wagoneer dana 44 front and rear axles. Will these axle work in my comanche our will i have to buy a new t-case besides my 231 in it now. I also want to set up a long arm kit on it as well thinking a rough country long arm or a rusty's long arm. will these kits work with the dana 44's after i put the brackets on the front axle or will i have to make my own long arm kit. Is there any good builds with these axle in a comanche that has good info on them and there build??????? :typing: :thumbsup:

Dam sounds like alot of work for some extra power. Well better build this stroker good to make it worth my time. Is there a painless wireing kit or another company that mite sell a kit so you don't have to use all the ripped out old wire out of the donor jeep.

Thanks for the link. Sounds like i mite have to step it up and put a H.O in it looks like you get the best power out of the H.O motor. Is there any links that break down the swap to high ouput .Like what you need besides motor ecu and some rewiring some things in the engine bay and maybe under dash??

Thinking about building a stroker motor out of my 1988 non high output motor. Ben hunting around on the internet trying to find a set up useing the non H.O motor but can't find one. I'm thinking maybe converting the non H.O motor to the high output head etc. to make it easyer for the stroker kit but i can't deside what to do SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?????

I got a 88 comanche that needs a better lift. I heard that you can use the front coils out of a zj grand cherokee for a 3inch lift. will it work if i take the upper and lower control arms and trac bar (since mines blown out) and coils and get a 3inch lift for the front? or will it throw the front end out of alignment if i use those parts out of the grand cherokee

ya thats tru I got some buddys that are ford freaks mite mave to go bug them for some drivetrain.Or look on craigslist theres ben sheap axles lately but the good deals seem to happen when you ant got the money to spent? :agree:

thanks for the help thats what i thot but you never no until you ask the comanche pro's

I want some 35's but maybe bigger depending on how crazy i go on the lift but want to keep it around a 6inch or a 8inch lift but nothing bigger than a 37inch tire

I was thinking leaf springs up front or maybe fabing up the james duff long arm raduis arm set up that they sell for early year broncos from the pics on the james duff web page they got great flex but i was thinking the dana high pinion 44 or maybe the big dog dana 60 that came in the fords

that currie won is cool but not rilly what i want to build mine like I won't mine more crawler style than raceing

I say a sick black comanche on this forum with ford drivetrain like a hp 44 up front and the 9inch out back but now i can't find it anymore he had some good information about the swap. I was thinking about doing the same drivetrain swap with my comanche the little 30 and 35 ant cutting it anymore if anyone has info on this swap let me no thanks??? :typing:

I was thinking about buying my buddys 1988 cherokee for parts. but I was wondering if the front doors will bolt right up to my 1988 comanche or will the door panels work on the comanche doors???

I would say about 4 but big anuff to clear 32x10.50x15 swampers with a little rubbing

I bot a comanche off a guy that did a homeade lift GETTO I NO. The guy started by adding coil drop collers on top of the coils to lower the coils down. cut the lower control arms in half and legthend them about a 1inch or maybe more. Then I think cut the trac bar and lengthend it as well. WOW Now i put new steering on it and it help on the wobbles then the trac bar went out so i got a brand new STOCK trac bar and blue it out less then 24hours in the truck on the ROAD. the steering was a little off before the trac bars was replace but not bad.Then i replace the trac bar and now the steering wheel sits a 5 oclock when you steer left it throws you in a death wobble only after 35 :dunno: :dunno: and up even got one at 60 on the highway crazy feeling. Does any one now what the deal is I think the trac bar it to short but i could be rong what do you guys think.
