  1. for now the hoses drip down, it`s cleaner...
  2. they bolt right in... whatever you are trying to do... as for me i want to put a column shifter on my 5 sped manual... for reasons...
  3. i`m in the process of installing an oil catch can, i`m tired of having oil all over the engine and everything...
  4. loose the bolts and move it all the way down...
  5. you either have a small, almost unnoticeable manifold leak somewhere or the O2 sensor is failing... mine was idling out of control and turned out to be the TPS even it was reading fine last time i tested it...
  6. maybe the internal pump is worn...
  7. mmm how about turning that feature into a auto/manual? switch.. interesting...
  8. i think my MAP is bad, i get the high idle starting sometimes... is tehera way to service it or must replaced?
  9. wait, i have to see... i have that one too :banana:
  10. VIN : 1JTMW6410JT068450 Country : United States Manufacturer : Jeep Corporation Vehicle Type : Truck Engine : 1989, 6 Cyl. 4.2 Liter / 4.0L I-6 Cyl. MPI Powertrain : 5-speed manual, floor gear shift, 2 W/D Line (Body Type) : Jeep Comanche, 2-W/D Pickup, 6.0' bed, 113" wheel base Model and Gross Vehicle Weight : 4001#-5000# : Wrangler Base / Cherokee Base / Comanche Base [1815/2268 Kg] Check Digit : 0 Year : 1988 Plant Location : Toledo, Ohio, USA Sequential Serial Number : 068450 Check Digit Test : VIN valide just noticed, has a Dana 44 axle This is my Comanche, it`s green and still on the road...
  11. i need a comanche with the 4.0 + AW4 not just the tranny
  12. i don`t mind which tranny is on that cherokee as long as it`s automatic, my first choice is a comanche with the 4.0+Aw4 but no luck so far i have 2 kids, my wife and i...2 more can fit too (it`s a column shift) btw i don`t think that bench is factory, not the same color...
  13. i have not seen the cherokee in question, only pics, the owner claims it`s a 4 cilinder, automatic i haven`t seen a comanche, let alone an automatic, for sale around here, i was just saying that IF i get to see one, i would go for aw4 oh and the cherokee has a bench seat, the center arm rest folds that`s all, also i don`t know what you mean by average size but 6 people can fit here, not much comfortly of course about the overheat issue, like i said that story may have come from abuse or poor service... or defective units, who knows, just because your tranny has not failed doesnt meany all work the same...
  14. so the overheat issue may come from people who abuse it and/or don`t know what transmission oil is,,, i think i`ll get the cherokee if i get a good price, after all it doesn`t hurt to have room for 5 or 6 people and the 2.5l sounds good too...far form the power and smoothness of the 4.0 but still a jeep...
  15. as some of you know i own a 88 comanche with the kickass 4.0 + ax15 combo, i love my truck but due health problems i am thinking in getting an automatic, i have just being diagnosed with a spine problem and may need surgery in a few months if that happens i won`t be able to drive manual, so far i have only found automatic cherokees for sale, i would rather buy a comanche but they are nearly extinct so the cherokee is the second choice i have read that only 3-speed torqueflites and AW4 are available, with the AW4 being the best (overdrive + torque converter lockup clutch) and now that i know for sure that is ridiculiusly easy to convert this tranny to a semi clutchless manual with the shifter hack and that is capable of handling the torque of the 4.0 if i ever feel the need to ditch the I4 2.5l, do anyone know why the AW4 tends to overheat? is the stock trans cooler too small? also, is it posible to put a better torque converter in it? i mean if the TC is not strong enough it becomes inefficient under heavy load and unefficiency leads to extra heat right? for the record, i hate automatics, i`m getting it just because have to...
  16. of course i mean an AW4, the shifter is piece of cake to build...
  17. hey is this posible? the AW4 can be controlled with this? if so i MUST get one...
  18. white smoke? isn`t water being pulled inosde the cylinders?
  19. there`s something i still don`t get about this infamous valve when the bed drops due a load, you get more pressure in the rear brake lines, but what happens with the front brakes? do they get the same pressure or less than normal?
  20. you must see a little spark when you put a plug near the block
  21. that`s the EGR solenoid... remove it and remove the EGR entirely, it will run better at all RPMs...
  22. put an AX-15 behind that 4.0...
