Does anyone still have access to a working link for this '88 electrical manual? All the links have not shown anything for me.

Rebuilding/Restoring 1987 Comanche
nateppler10 replied to nateppler10's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
This is all good stuff. I definitely wasn't expecting to spend too much on it, but that looks like it's going to change. My main goal was to just get it up and running mechanically, and worry about the cosmetic stuff a little later. It would just be nice to have a working truck. I guess I'm not going for complete restoration. More of just making it look as nice as it can in it's current state. When I purchased, it had quite a few dings and dents in it. So, I am not looking for pretty; but I refuse to have crap. Meaning, I don't trash my stuff. But yeah, looks like I've got a few Youtube videos too much and some reading to do. I appreciate the feedback. If I can figure out how to track my progress on here, I will keep you guys updated. Thanks again. And thankfully, I don't have to deal with the stress of a girlfriend or wife right now. So I can focus all my stress on this truck. -
Thanks for the clarification. Haha, I warned y'all. I have no idea what I am doing. Learning as I go.

Well, the last time I tried, it lunged forward and before I realized it could have been in gear I had already started the deconstruction.

This is my first attempt at completely rebuilding/restoring a vehicle. I have no previous mechanic experience. I was curious if anyone would give me some advice on the process. What needs to be done first? I have drained most of the fluids. Removing the gas tank is next. But after that, do I just clear everything out underneath the hood? How do I check to see if I need to replace my engine (supposedly it has a cracked head gasket; and if its not terrible I should be able to replace it, correct?). I am open to any suggestions. I am flying blind on this one. I have checked YouTube for help, and found a few videos; but nothing showing the entire process of rebuilding and restoring. Any direction to a website or video would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

It won't turn over with the starter. I changed the batteries and it attempted to do something whereas before, it wouldn't do a thing.

The old engine has a cracked head gasket. And won't turn over at all.

I need a new engine for my MJ. What's the best, cost-efficient option? Would I be able to use an engine from a Cherokee to fit my Comanche. Any information helps. I'm not very knowledgeable about cars/trucks, but willing to learn.

Asking where y’all get your parts. All kinds of parts. Interior/Exterior; under the hood, etc.

Does this help any? -
I need a new engine for my jeep, and I’m not sure where to look or just exactly what I need. It’s an ‘87. What info do I need to know to make sure I find one that fits?

Temperature Gauge in ‘87

Yeah, it does. -
The temperature gauge in my Jeep is always on. The light is dim lit red and gets brighter. Is the light always supposed to be on to measure temperature or does it being on mean something is wrong?
