Here. I know anyone and everyone will probably look for this. Perhaps older AMC family vehicles can be tried for the dust cap. According to Chrysler this cap went into service for the '72 model years and ended in '92. Yes Chrysler was apparently charging a fortune for this thing.(No there aren't any more around)

Well here is the final results. I like it. It’s been a battle just to find the right color but I don’t like how dark the SEM graphite is, felt like that color fit better with the 97-01 interior, so I went with what I did like and thought it fit best. I can see that it is a little lighter but honestly I like it and it’s been a month of color searching to where I didn’t want to go fork over a fortune to have a color match(probably should have for how much I spent). I feel the AZ sun and heat didn’t contribute to keeping the interior color in the best of shape. For now this color will hang around.

Could be. It been tough for me to tell as the entirety of the dark pieces of my interior are several different shades of the dark grey. Even the dash that is the dark grey color is the same on what's at the bottom of the console

That thing looks awesome. Be a perfect pair for anyone who has a street Comanche.

here's my original center console. I ran it through the dishwasher and painted the lower portion. I tried to get the best picture of where the paint cuts off but it’s just so dang close. Top half is still original color.

Yup. Sadly that’s all they have. No satin or flat. Charcoal comes close which you think it would be an exact but it’s a little on the light side. Anyways I got the lower panel out today and is being painted so I’ll snap a picture when the oven gets to 350.

Yup. AB is Beige.

Love every bit of it. Its not so much AMC as it is Chrysler with insufficient data on anything older than '87. You can get a paint code off the plate under the hood on the fire wall.

Wow. That's literally the twin to my truck. Damn near same paint wear and everything. Neat! As far as value, It all depends. Rust is everything with these trucks. If it is clean and well maintained then it should fetch a decent price. And with the gladiator being a mockery to the Jeep truck heritage, value might increase a smidgen.

I have finally figured it out!!! And I am so damn happy. Rustoliums dark grey works damn perfect for the dark portion of the charcoal interior on our trucks. I will not update part II with this info.

Then I'm good to go.

That's what I have always thought but wasn't sure, internet is flooded with info on the 4.0L. Wasn't until recently I watched nickintime and used my TBI manual to figure out that 1000 is a good RPM.

Trial and error by fire.

What Ohm says goes. He is the electrical guru around here.

I’d look into that fan first. Get that fan running and see if your heating issue persists.

LED hood light strip I put under the hood and wired into a factory switch. That’s the only non factory addition I have. Provides a good light all on the engine bay. Con: strips crapping out. Driving lights. Nice to have some brighter lights on some poorly lit streets.

No worries.

The 2.5L is a weird animal. I have never had 750 idle except for once and that was due to electrical resistance from the distributor and the C101 Idle has always been 950-1000. AC changed the game with 900-950 being idle. I’ve done all proper adjustments and still have never gotten a 750 idle.

Ok. I’ll throw one in on tires. Dealers do a good job on balancing tires. My girlfriend bought a new car and it drove like a limping horse. Got the tires balanced and it drove straighter than an arrow. My two cents on finding someone who will balance tires perfectly.

AC on, 850-1000. Depends on warm up. Usually she likes 900-950. AC off is 1000-1100. Mostly 1000-1050.

Sounds good!

Something small. I bought a 4.0 harness kit and just snipped some of the lines and used some rubber to join some hard line together to replace my aging harness. You can go to Napa and get a bunch of vacuum lines to go over the hard lines snuggly.

Fair.

I’ll sit the weight one out. I could easily find the part number and have Chrysler tell me the weight of the part.
