BORDENCOMANCHE

I did the cluster swap, everything bolted right in and the gauges worked immeadiately all except for the oil pressure one, any ideas why? All it does is immeadiately pin itself out.

yep greased one so good, it broke the retaining clip and flew right off the front yoke :D Exactly one minute before I was about to wheel. (Could be that I was smashed drunk installing it) :cheers:

SOB!!! :fs1: I just went through all that crap and put on a cork gasket! Crap, looks like more practice for me.

I know this is going to sound completely retarded, but the reason I got my manche so cheap was that it was a no start. All I did was fiddle with some stuff on the throttle body and clean the battery terminals, gave them a twist to tighten them up and the thing fired right up in front of the PO.

Cut stock 4" square tube into two C channels for my winch bumper. Welding and fitting today, will mount winch soon. Couple of days I will be climbing trees.

All you Ontarians out there ever need a loop hole, I can find one for you.

I had to have my jeep appraised.. Oh boy did I EVER give the system a run for their money. I was in the middle of a 2wd to 4x4 swap so there was no front axle on the jeep, the floor boards were ALL rotted out so I cut huge panels out of the floor and there was also no tranny in the jeep at the time. We are talking MJ here. So there was mud everywhere on it, dings and scratches like you wouldn't believe. In order to register your vehicle here in Ontario, if it is more then 20 years old, you need an appraisal. So the guy showed up from the classic vehicle appraisal place in town, took one look at my jeep at one look at me and said right... as if he was just going to pack up and leave. But I told him I was serious and I was paying him for his time, I explained that I was in the middle of a 4x4 swap and what not. Unfortunately for the gov't they cannot ding me for what my vehicle will be after my mods, but only at the time of the actual apraisal, so I LUCKED OUT HARD and got an appraisal value of 150 dollars, which means I paid ROUGHLY 15 dollars in tax, one time only

Call it a stupid question, but if my BA 10/5 mount is about to fry and break free, is there any problem with making a perma mount by tac welding two pieces of steel along either side of it to brace the two halves? FYI BA10/5 mount is $350 dollars up here and it only comes from the dealership, and you have to ask for it under YJ wrangler.

Welcome to the Comanche and the Club.

Okay will see about pictures, and as far as batteries, they were two free $#!& balls that I got from CanadianTire.

So it runs good in the rain, puddles etc. Okay, so maybe I am thinking that the water is bridging a gap in the electrical connectors and allowing them to run??? Could try a spray bottle on one componant at a time. Or I am gonna agree that its the CPS.

I figured that as long as I make a really strong mount for my winch and don't do anything dumb with it IE winch into a tree, I should be okay. There is no end to the supply of rusty old pieces of old tanks hanging out in the recycling bins around here so, I guess its reusing time.

thank you brother!!!

Some guy told me today that I needed to brace my front end (Currently running a 4'' square tube bumper) in order to not twist my frame. I bought a Superwinch 8500 lb. And I managed to score two extra batteries for free. Will it kill my comanche to run 12v parrellel with 3 batteries? Next important point, Can somebody please for the love of god tell me the correct colour sequence at the O2 sensor connector?LOL LOL :hmm:

Once you cross the smushed line, isn't it too late? Like for them to bite you?

Anybody help me out?? Need the correct colour code.

Why do we hate the CAD axle? I remember that when I first got my 4x4 going, I drove right into the snow in my back yard only to find that my front two wheels weren't powered. I did what I do best, mash down the throttle, cuss, swear and turn the wheels. If not all at once, but pretty quickly thereafter my 4x4 worked never to give me a problem yet, I guess the innards of the axles must have been ceased or rusty or something, I dunno, but it worked. As a matter of fact I even trimmed the vacuum fitting for a better fit and zap strapped it to the motor for more security.

Just like the brake system. Here is some wisdom. I winched out my old BA, cause it was stuck on there REAL good. In Doing so, I mashed my first/second selector fork where it connects to the shifter (inside the tranny). I took the back side of the transmission off and quickly fixed the problem with a pair of pliers and am wheeling with the same tranny now, with no issues, except I forgot to put the damn oil seal on. I am not too sure about the AX15, but I do know that it comes apart one way or another, grab yourself some gear oil and a compresser and give that thing a cleaning on the inside it deserves. While your taking it off and checking things out check your clutch rig too, make sure thats all good to go. If something doesn't feel right when your rippin it apart, chances are, its not. Who knows, maybe you didn't torque something properly, could be a little thing, don't panic. Not yet.

TWO POINTS: Northern winters don't kill spiders, I know, I bought the truck from under a GIANT willow tree, the thing was infested with spiders that had asses the size of quarters. Unheard of in Canada. So I emptied two of the most god awful smelling spider killer aersol cans over the entire truck and the little bastards came running down out of every nook and what not. The next day I seen the ones that tried to crawl across the box for the escape and didn't make it, keeled over stiff. They were dead, at least for the season, winter came and went, until just the other day when I saw one... Its on again boys. Second point, when I went down to Texas, FT Hood, they gave us a huge briefing on the brown recluse. My Warrant Officer was bit in the rear end by one and it made a giant hole in his #$#. Only thing that willies me more then a scorpion is a recluse.

Forgot to mention, if you have the Machine Shop on standby, you can have it done within three days with the basic of tools, oh p.s. get a torx kit and an e12 socket.

Okay, up here in canada cherokee's are a dime a dozen I got a decent one for $500 dollars, so for my crazy southern off road friends it should be easier. Try to find a Cherokee with the same tranny, if that is not possible, at least find one with the same year. I stripped: Hood, Doors, Tranny (Now a Spare) T-Case (Now a Spare, 231) Rear Axle 2 Front Doors (Now Spare) Front Axle Bush Lights Bumper Flooring (Gonna need that eventually) Lights, Air box CPS Throttle Body Rad (Need I go on) Advantages of buying and stripping a cherokee: The front axle should be the same gear ratio as your rig, all you do is unbolt your axle, slide in the donor axle. Unbolt the tranny, bolt up the Cherokee Tranny/T-Case, hook up front driveshaft and have your old one cut to spec (which you can find here on the site). Its so easy, I am talking copy and paste, all it takes is time my friend. The extra parts and nic nacks you get from the Cherokee should keep you wheeling for awhile. Trust me, I did it in the middle of winter. PM if you have more questions.

I am having the same issue, but as a secondary effect, I can't get my running lights going.

Sorry I was completely gittering from the excitement I had with my MJ, its an 88 4.0L bone stock.

I pulled my entire pump out without using anything other than a flat head screw driver and a hammer in my drive way, drive shaft on. For the future guys, get a set of grease pencils from your local Staples and colour code everything you disconnect. Hope this helps for the future.

Not lying boys, I toured with the truck, wheeled and broke u-joints, got stuck and all the good stuff... including knocking the fan clutch off the shaft. I get home and after inspecting my trucks various nooks and crannies I noticed that my 02 sensor has three wires coming off it and into a connector, then the connector runs to the vehicle harness. TWO OF THE THREE WIRES WERE DISCONNECTED!!!! (Ripped right out of the harness) Only thing is, I lacked power when I mashed it to the floor. Can somebody send me a pic of their connector with the colour coding of the wires so I can hook my bad boy back up.. P.S COMANCHE'S KICK FRIGGIN @$$!!! Spent most of my time pullin people out of the mud.
