88SporTruck

I would search for a 97+ ( i believe) 8.25 as that will have 29 spline shafts and be stronger than the 27 spliners you are looking at. As to mileage my 93 27spline in my XJ has 233k+ on it and still looks mint when I take off the cover to change the oil and does not make any sound at all. Whatever JY axle you get CHANGE THE OIL IN IT!! I got a D30 put in my XJ by a shop (was too busy to do it myself on my DD) and when I got it back I checked the oil and it was a milkshake of water and oil in there.

Hit up the Junkyard. Of all the manual window vehicles I have worked on every one seemed to have the same diameter window crank shaft with the same spline count. The only difference is some use clips to stay on and some use screws. I would be willing to bet any AMC made vehicle made around the time as your MJ would have a crank that would fit.

S&W .38 and .357 Next to the bed. Along with the wifes Beretta. Break in and your leaving in a bag. My doors are always locked.

The IAC on my 88 2.5 looks exactly like the IAC off my wifes old 3.9 Dakota. the plug is different tho. I'm still trying to find a way to mount the Dak motor to the Comanche IAC body.

True as long as you can handle a saw. I have run anti-kick chain and pro chain on my POS Poulan and the Pro chain kicks @$$! You just have to watch what you are doing as one bad kick could change your life for the worse.

It does not have tires (just put them on today) pulled drums and everything was bone dry. I think ailens have abducted my brake fluid! :dunno:

The hose looks a little wet and the booster is not in the greatest shape. I fear removing the bolts will destroy it. I'm trying to fix this on a budget since i am currently laid off. :mad:

I also own an 88! :cheers:

That switch should be a black rectangle with a large wiring harness attached. Hold it with the wiring harness up and use a flathead screwdriver to slide the part the rod hooked to over to the right. It will automatically spring back from start to run when you let it go. Did this to a friends monte carlo for over a year. Just expect some problems from the cops if they pull you over and see the switch hanging and a screwdriver in the center console. We had guns pulled on us until they figured out that we owned the car and that the lock cyl was broken.

I had been starting it regularly and letting it warm up. At least 2x per week. I don't like to leave vehicles sitting a long time without running them.

There are NO BRAKES AT ALL. nothing zip nada, and no exhaust.Just the downpipe so it is loud as hell! Also the truck is at my friends house on top of the tallest hill in the county and my house is at the bottom of said hill. Windy back roads and steep hills with no brakes is not my idea of fun. I was originally going to just say screw it and drive it but then discovered the brake problems. Luckily my time-line to get it out has been extended as the sale of the house fell through so hopefully I can just fix the brakes and drive it. Normally I would agree with you! :D But I care about this truck so I don't want to wrap it around a tree :banana:

Ok cool. I was just worried because it has this huge heavy shift knob stuck on it :nuts:

Currently my truck has no brakes whatsoever. When I first got it they were working fine and it even seemed that the height sensing valve was still working. After it sat about a month I went to move it and the pedal goes right to the floor. Upon inspection I found no leaks or wet spots but the front resivoir of the master cylinder was bone dry. Since I can't find any leaks I'm wondering if the fluid is leaking out into the Vac booster and getting burned up in the engine.

Thanks! Should I do anything with the shifter to prevent it from popping into gear or anything or just put it in neutral and go. Sorry for the dumb questions but I have never towed a RWD manual tranny vehicle before. Only towed FWD's.

My 88 2.5L would not start when I got it. Turns out the CPS connector was all full of crap inside. Used some CRC electrical cleaner and a wire brush on it and it fired right up. Check that connector.

My MJ came with Bosch platinums in it. It ran like crap. New Champion copper plugs got it running like a champ. If anyone likes the platniums you can have them. Come pick them up or pay shipping and they are yours!

If you try to put the MJ body on the Ford frame you will end up having to build custom crossmembers because the ford rails will now be a nice set of rock sliders to the MJ body, Also as stated before the MJ cab is unibody and has no body mounts to attach to the donor Ford frame.

I was thinking about disconnecting the DS from the rear end and hanging it from the frame to prevent fluid loss. The key is broken off in the igniton due to my friends dumbass son so it is unlocked until i get a new lock cylinder. I'm just wondering what else if anything I should do before putting it on the tow dolly. I have wanted a Comanche since I was a little kid and now that my friend has given me a 95% rust free one I don't want to wreck it during the tow.

My Comanche is currently at my buddies house getting worked on. He has gotten divorced and sold the house. I need to get the Comanche to my house (about 2 miles away.) It has no brakes but runs and drives like new.(except it's battery is in my wifes Druango right now) My plan is to rent a tow dolly and use my wifes Durango to tow it. (don't think my Cherokee could pull the weight). I know I should pull the driveshaft prior to towing but are there any other tricks I should know? I have approx 1 month to get it out of there so there is time if need be......

Did you request a trailer plate number of all zeros or did you just get lucky and end up with it?

On the tv show Scrappers (retarded show BTW) They interview a guy at a construction site and parked on the side of the road is a dark blue Sprortruck with a plow on it.

You should have given him 300 and then stripped that thing bare. All he needs is the frame/body to get cash at the scrapyard and plenty of us need taillights or would have bought that slider from you!

The cluster matches the engine right? I know on some cars a 4cyl cluster tach will not work right on a 6cyl engine or vice versa.

I bet that homeowner was PISSED when he came out and saw his yard all torn up and ruts from the flat tires leading out to the road.
