Does it feel like the truck completely loses power? Like you have your foot on the gas but nothing happens (while its happening)? I'm having that type of issue and replaced the plugs,wires,fuel filter, cap, rotor with no luck.

I'm buying the slave cylinder because its the cheapest part to buy and if it needs to be replaced then i minus will replace it now. I called the jeep dealership around here and they don't have it in stock and it would take a few days.The reason I doubt its the master is because I wired up my fog lights over the weekend and saw no fluid or anything dripping inside the cabin at all so thats why I'm assuming its the slave. I don't have much time and i don't have much money to replace both so Ill repalce the cheapest part and go from there. Will it work? It may or may not but I'm going to start from there.

Awesome well I just called napa and they looked it up and said its external. So I'm going to pick one up and see if that works. Its only $33 so ill start there. Does anyone happen to have a picture of the slave cylinder on the housing? a buddy of mine is going to help me but he just want to see a picture. One more thing where would i find the fill hole for the tranny fluid? I picked up some lucas tranny fluid and usually on my old cherokee id seep it down the dipstick hole but I can't seem to find that on this. Maybe I'm just that blind. Sorry for all the questions but i tried to get the service manual and they didnt have it in stock and they said it would take a week to come in.

Are slaves easy to replace on these?

It's an 86' sorry. When I went to put the fluid in this morning I didnt notice any fluid under the master cylinder.The tranny is covered with liquid but I couldnt tell if it was oil from the oil leak i recently had or the slave cylinder but I'm not exactly sure where the slave cylinder is. Its a 2.5 with a 5spd 4x4. After doing a little digging I believe my tranny is an ax5.

So i may know the answer to this but Id like to be sure about it. When i went to start the truck up this morning I barely able to get it into gears and had to keep pumping the clutch to switch gears. i managed to make it back to my house and popped the hood to find out there was no fluid in the clutch master cylinder. I filled the resevoir up and started pumping the clutch but the fluid wasnt moving at all. Now i'm under the assumption that either the master cylinder is busted or I have to bleed the system because I let it run dry. Also when you push the clutch in you can see little bubbles coming up i the resevoir. My buddy was telling me the clutch was shot but I never had any problems with the clutch slipping.

Thanks Ill try that with the plugs. Apparently from looking around the gap should be .035? Can someone verify that? Any ideas about the 4x4?

No I was using the 4x4 in the snow, some of the roads were very slushy while others still didnt get plowed. I actually purchased new spark plugs, cap and rotor so I will try to replace them this weekend. Anybody have any tips on getting the spark plug that closest to the front of the car? The ac unit is right next to it and I realy didnt want to pull it all out. What should the plugs be gapped to?

anybody?

So I have 2 issues that just recently started with my jeep. Its a 4cyl 2.5l by the way. The first one is almost everytime I shut the truck off it backfires like a [bleep]. I havent done anything to this truck so I don't know why it would do it. Secondly today was the first time I used the 4x4 (had snow today) and while driving down the road I started to hear a loud rubbing noise coming from the front end which sounded like the differential or the axel. Once I took the truck off 4x4high the noise went away. I'm really hoping its not the differential thats bad because i have no cash to buy another one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks --------------------------------------------------------------- [Edited by Eagle to remove language not acceptable on this board]

I still have to paypal you the money and i have no clue what valve your talking about lol. Where could i find that?

Alright so we got the drums and everything installed over the weekend but I have the same issue i had before(i probably should have brought this up before) THe break pedal goes about half way down before it actually engages and when you let got it comes back up but you can hear sort of a hissing noise. Never do i actually lose break pressure its just a noise coming from the break pedal soooo new master cylinder or new booster? We already tried bleeding all the breaks unless if there is a special way to bleed them that I overlooked.

JPDOCDAve yes i do need another bar and spring if you still have it. I also need a set of mirrors if you happen to have those also pm me a price shipped and paypald thanks for the info guys.

MY buddy just started doing the rear drums on the breaks. When we took both the drums off we noticed a bar that came across both the shoes and had a spring on one side. The other wheel didnt have this bar with the spring. Can anyone tell me what exactly that does and if i need it? When we left it off it was easier to get the shoes and everything on.

IS there a writeup somewhere on this? I think i might have to switch out my right turn signal switch. IT stays solid when i switch to it and ive changed all the bulbs.

Alright ill check this stuff out. thanks for the info guys i definitely appreciate it.

The vibration honestly comes from the back and the front. I noticed that it would only vibrate under load like if I'm going up a hill. If i get the truck up for like 70 and put it in 5th sometimes it won't vibrate much.

so swap out the DS or take it somewhere to get balanced? Is that pinion seal hard to replace?

So i got under the truck today and tugged on the driveshaft both ways and didnt see any kind of play at all it felt pretty solid. One thing I noticed is a leak coming from the cover and from where the driveshaft connect to the rear end. Here is a pic of it and could someone tell me what rearend and tranny i have? the rear end looks like a dana35 but i havent seen a 35 in person to tell. Let me know guys thanks.

I found this thread because I had a similar question like yours. hope this helps http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17304

thanks for the tips ill check it out and let you guys know what i find. i wouldnt be surprised is something was loose or bent this truck was pretty beat on from what ive heard.

The tires have been replaced and it was making this noise before then. What do I have to do to balance the drive shaft?

dang if you werent so damb far I actually would come down and get it. Would you be willing to part it?

I just picked up an 86 MJ with a 2.5l 4banger about less then a month ago. Everytime I get on the high way once I get to about 55-60mph the whole truck starts to vibrate. At these speeds I'm usually in 4th gear and rarely even see 5th unless if i can get it up to 70 which again rarely happens. Anyways when i get up to these speeds the whole truck starts to vibrate like it wants to take off or something. To me it almost feels like its coming from the rear end but this vibration is so hard that its really hard to tell since the previous owner took out alof of the interiour so its mostly metal in the cab. Any ideas on where I should start looking first? Also he took out the lines for the A/C so i was wondering if i take the A/C compressor out can i replace the belt with a non-A/C belt? do they even make one?

Whats up guys I'm new to this site and new to Comanches. Ive owned a few cherokees before but never did any kind of work to them. I just picked up a 86' and have been looking into doing a few mods to it so i can go muddin with my buddies. ANyways here are a few pics and stuff. AND no i didnt put that pipe on there thats how it came so please don't flame me for it. IT needs lots of work like a new oil pan(if you have one for a 2.5 let me know), rear brakes, mirrors, window and other little things.
