I have an 86 Comanche with a 2.8 and automatic. I need to replace the transmission. I found a nice one from an 86 that had a 2.5 in it. Does anyone happen to know if they will interchange? Thanks so much, Jake

Apparently no one has had any trouble with the lugs that they are using so there is no reason for anymore conversation on this issue. Thank you for the information. Jake

Gambler, I’m not sure what you met by your question. As I mentioned earlier my turbine wheels have a gap between the rim and the stud that is why they need this type of lug nut. About a year ago I lost one while rotating my tires and to order one. We have an old fashion parts store that was able to locate it for me. Do your turbines have the same gap? I took the picture that way so you could also see the gap.

Image Not Found The shoulder or collar fills the void between the wheel stud and the rim.

The lug nuts that are supposed to go on the turbine wheels have a long shoulder that fit between the rim and the studs. Using the wrong lug nuts will cause damage to the rims. I can’t remember the company who made the wheels for these trucks but I’ll take a picture of one and post it tomorrow after I get back from church.

I'm using a Carter from NAPA.

I've always had good luck with Moog brand.

Thanks dasbulliwagen, I found the information very valuable. Jake

MJ Maniac, Thank you for your quick response. My 86 2.8 has a mechanical fuel pump. Is there another direction you could steer me to? Thanks so much, Jake

I'm new to the game but my 86 2.8 is doing the same thing.

Thanks so much,

Image Not Found Can anyone tell which trans I have by looking at this picture?

There is a sun visor on evil bay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/86-92-JEEP-COMANCHE-LUND-ROOF-VISOR-SUN-VISOR-SUNVISOR-PART-AP3-/161415365420?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item25951b032c&vxp=mtr To much money for my budget.

I am in need of some help and direction. I have an 86 4 wheel with a 2.8 3 speed automatic with several issues. The one that I’m currently working on is the transmission. Other than a leak that I can’t find, it seems to slip when I first start out in the morning and when I’m pulling a light load approx 2000 pounds it doesn’t want to stay in drive. It continually downshifts into second gear. I changed the fluid with Dextron and the filter. I also added a quart of Lucas. I have a Haynes manual and in there it talks about adjusting the bands however I don’t understand the procedure that they give. I also mentioned this to an old race car driver and he suggested running Type F fluid in it. I would really appreciate any help I could get very much, Jake

Chrome top windshield trim needed. I just need the top piece for an 86 if that matters. Thanks so much, Jake

How about the suspension and frame are they diffrtent also?

I have a 86. Seriously what is wrong wiith the 86 model?

A 5 speed would be my choice as well, but the conversion would be to extensive.

I have an 86 4 wheel with a 2.8 auto. I am going to rebuild the trans and transfer case. Does anyone have a rebuildable trans and transfer case? Thanks so much, Jake

I have a small restoration shop and if you've ever tried to repair a headliner you’d know what a pain in the @$$ it is with a slim margin of success.

I am in need of a carb for a 86 with a 2.8. Thanks so much, Jake

What are you asking for them?
