BORDENCOMANCHE

We've been going over and over and over the same old stuff, how bout this one. I am done my 4x4 conversion to from rwd to 4x4. First ever epic build turned into an EPIC FAIL! I got all my stuff hooked up ready to rock, I fired up the truck, I heard a mechanical whining noise coming from the transmission (Ba 10/5, NP231), while the truck was in neutral I thought, oh crap, forgot to fill the tranny. so I filled the tranny. I fired the truck back up and same problem, whining noise, but not as loud this time. I know I filled the tranny properly because the gooy (hypoid) oil came shooting out the side of the transmission when I filled it. I push the clutch in (it too is bled properly) and the noise goes away, I release the clutch and the noise comes back. Doesn't matter what I do to the tranny, the noise is there as long as the truck is running. I have accepted that I have to rebuild the transmission, good thing is that I still have the rwd Ba 10/5 that is in great shape. can I use pieces from this transmission to rebuild my 4x4 pegeot?? i repeat, can I use pieces of a rwd ba 10/5 transmission to rebuild my 4x4 pegeot? EDITED FOR CLARITY

I'm in the great white north, Ontario, Canadian Forces Base Borden!!! Hail!

I got more!!! Oh p.s. I just found out that the guy at the local partsource, his buddy runs a comanche!! wheeling baby!!

Yeah, like NOS. but I never thought of forced injection, good idea too, I am going to investigate Avenger 4x4.

I swapped out one ba 10/5 for another and now the reverse lights don't come on. LOL. Screwed eh?

Anybody ever thought of bottled oxygen??? inject it?

leaning on the backpressure issue. Because if he was out wheeling then the o2 sensor must have been there otherwise he wouldn't have been able to leave the driveway, unless the sensor was just secured somewhere, attached.

Guys what the :mad: are you doing? These are jeeps not race cars. You wanna make a cold air intake? Buy the $5 dollars filter and snorkel the damn thing for $40 with your local PVC supplies. It works and it sounds cool.

:hijack: I was working on connecting my resevoir line to my internal cylinder. I lost the god damn connection!! The brass double union. I have a ba 10-5. Anybody know the size? My spare 3/16 didn't fit, so I went and bought a quarter inch but haven't tried it, can somebody save me a trip under the truck in the snow and tell me the correct size? Oh and I guess I'm gonna need to bleed the damn thing, so can somebody please post up the correct method?

I was thinking of putting an aftermarket fan blade on my truck? Good idea bad idea?

Roger that.

Okay so failing everything, and nothing works, is it acceptable to disassemble the cv joint and get two straps and run a ujoint only setup?? I will not be lifting the truck, or running disconnected sway bar links. . . at least not in the near future. You guys are pro. Thanks a million.

Thanks boys, the PB Blaster will try it before I go and buy a thing of map gas, but I am guessing it will be a future purchase anyways. I didn't know that WD40 was crap. hmmm.. thanks boys.

yes the front drive shaft came from the xj. More explicitly. when I try to mount the front shaft up to the t-case, the yoke on the tcase is too large in diameter, the bolt holes on the yoke are farther apart than the ones on the CV joint. Now, not to sound retarded but the cv joint is the one that flips and turns all over the god damn place and has two u joints in it? The U joint itself fits in the t case yoke just fine, but the little dingle C#*@ thing is too small. LOL. What kind of torch am I going to use? Propane, map, acetyline? The last time I used acetyline I almost cooked somebody, friggin guy grabbed my arm while I was torchin.

Okay so, I'm waiting for the last of my parts to come in the mail, not the problem, truck is ready and waiting for the parts. The rig, 88 MJ 4.0 Ba 10 RWD, SWB. Now its 88 MJ 4.0 Ba 10 4x4, SWB. (I bought axles from XJ with Ba 10 of the same year). My transmission came from 88 CJ/YJ (Can't remember) but it came with the transfer case attached to it for 200 dollars. THE PROBLEM. The yoke on the transfer case is too big for my front shaft (Cherokee front shaft) and I can't get the damn nut off!!! I got the nut off the cherokee in seconds with an impact gun, except here after impacting for like 1.5 hours and a whole can of WD40 it just won't budge. I don't know what to do. I am working outside in the cold on the ground with the transmission/t-case in the truck. I have secured the yoke so that it doesn't spin like crazy when I hit it with impact. I have the new nut and the new yoke. My two options next were to: a) Cut the damn thing off, CAREFULLY! B) (This is so dumb) Attach torque bar and socket, engage 4wd and start the truck, then dump the clutch for a brief second. HELP ME! I am a noob with stubborn bolts/nuts.

I saw one once, a D44 in the scrap yard hooked up to a long box 4 banger 2wd manche. Unfortunately I was next to broke and the guy wouldn't allow cutting in his yard because of all the long dry grass so I left it there. Cursing myself, and besides, hauling home a D44 sticking out the back of your grand prix just ain't cool, but I have done worse :popcorn:

Don't waste your time pulling a rug out of a rig that might take you all day, go to local hardware store, grab a sheet of rug (comfy stuff at that) and place your carpet over top, cut to match and whala, install. I will send you pic of my beautiful carpet when I get a chance.

Its like the old jeeps we used to use, they had plugs for the floor you could remove to let the water out, I put a couple of those in the jeep, if you got holes in your mud rig, its okay, don't freak out the water needs to get out somehow...

We could sit here and dispute SOPs, all day.

I busted a hole in my floor board the one and only time I have been able to go out (in 2wd). The water hole had so much pressure that the mud flew up under my left pit and spray all over the dash from behind me got all over my headliner and my dash and my windshield and my face! YA BABY! The girl was like, turn on the wipers, I said... darlin, thats on the inside. LOL. she was like, HOT.

I admired everybodies ability to stay away from what if scenarios (there is no end to them and nobody ever gets to the conclusion). All very good points Eagle, yes the idea is to stop the threat before it reaches you, and under duress its not the easiest thing to do. Mind you, even the most seasoned criminals I am sure also experience the some sort of duress as well. The idea behind escalation of force is that a conflict can be resolved or eliminated at the lowest means neccessary, yes I completely agree with you, STOP OR I WILL SHOOT, tactical communication, step, bang is a very effective method of dealing with home invasion. It is legal and it provides the suspect that extra little mental notion of ' I shouldn't be here' and give him the fight or flight frame of mind. It was just in my frame of mind, I would cap rounds into floor boards, the wall, the brick, the couch, whatever I would show that a-hole he's gonna get it. Getting back to the original problem, somebody broke into your house, thats MEGA serious. Firearms are dangerous for both parties regardless. Weigh the risks, but whatever you do, always have a plan or multiple contingency plans, incorporate a family pet, get friendly with the neighbour, tell them the situation, practice home evacuation, you sound like a pretty serious guy, don't allow yourself to be sucked into the gun will fix all my security issues solution, provided yes the gun is a great tool but it shouldn't be your only one. Not much else I can say but I pray your problems are over and that you can move on. Ryan

I love how nobody mentioned anything about warning shots? I am from Canada, were not really gun oriented up here, well not entirely. I am pretty well off with firearms, being an armoured crewman. If somebody was coming through my front door, I don't care whats going on, I'm cappin a few off to let him know I am armed, the safety is off and I know how to pull the trigger, not to mention myself or "somebodies" wife might be better prepared to score a kill shot in the situation if the barrel and herself are already warmed up from warning rounds. Anybody can pound a bullseye but can you beat the tunnel vision of a life threatening situation? If your answer is Yes then guns are for you, if you will freeze, I suggest removing every gun from your house immeadiately, as I agree with others, what you have may be turned against you. Buy a dog, buy a friend, buy non-lethal methods of subduing somebody but unless your ready to put somebody in the grave, don't buy a gun, cause it will be you going to yours. Thats the bottom line. AND FOR F* sakes do not enter ANYWHERE if your spider senses are tingling, its different for me I have the training, and even still I wouldn't do it without back-up, behiet a neighbour, friend, co-worker or police officer or trusty canine friend. Sorry about the rant guys, seen too many good friends go in the ground.

Was gonna add my opinion but I guess its too late, well probably not. Here goes: :USAflag: + :Canadaflag: = :thumbsup: (Because We made it) I don't care what you drive, and I spent a whole year building my rig, I'll pull you out whatever, whenever or wherever you are. You start jaw jacking Jeep while I'm pulling you out and I'll spit a hell fury all over your rig on the way outta the bog. Then Smile and Nod. Ryan

let us know when it starts. I went through ALL of this crap plus more to try and get my jeep started... took a wire wheel to the battery terminals and posts, fired right up, cursed the heavens HARD that day.

I am Ryan I hail from CFB Borden (Most of the Time), Ontario, Canada. I am young and crazy which is how I got into jeeping in the first place, now I realized the real craziness was not owning one. Pretty sure I own the only comanche in the world with a semi-shag residental carpetted floor (ya its crazy and its comfortable, but hey it was free). Comanche leaks like a siv but hey the water has to get out somehow.
