Thanks Pete.

Anyone have any sources for weather stripping? Please advise!

Were there any RHD Comanches, ever built by the manufacturer?

I didn't know really just where to post this, so I let the admins practice their magic ;)

The first Wrangler, passed me without even the slightest wave of acknowledgement. The second Wrangler, did nearly the same, but with a slight C#*@ of the head, him realizing just what I was driving. The third Wrangler, was completely studying the second Wranglers actions, after he had passed me. The fourth Wrangler, noticed all of the commotion and nearly wrecked by him hanging out of his drivers door, checking out my MJ... LMAO! Me and my mighty MJ had laughs for many miles afterwards. And to this day, I carry a smirk!

A friend of a friend is dismantling an 86 Comanche and he said that he was going to sell all of its drive train. He asked me if I wanted any of it. With the above info, I won't be even the least bit interested.

4x4 with a 2.5 liter motor, what rear axle did they have and what gear ratio would it be.

Pete: go out and fetch you a set of Kenda Klevers ;) ghetdjc320: the axles under my MJ are XJ axles, with 4.56 yukon gears and a Spartan locker out back. I can get you the additional information this evening. And as promised tires are 34 inches tall, underneath the trucks weight! Andy in PA: Actual tire size 35x10.50R17. Jesse J: thank you kindly. Wahoo Steeler: while that is true, it has been my finding, that BFG KO2 tires tread profile, is too flat faced and cause a pickup platformed vehicle to be squirrelly on wet surfaces. BFG KO2's are much better for an SUV platformed vehicle, due to improved and more even weight distribution. derf: indeed there are, I am running 285/75R16's on my 05 TJR.

We can not find neutral. Always seems to be 4wd. I had the AX15 fully rebuilt. When I took the AX15 into the tranny shop, the NP231 was attached to the AX15. What could be the issue. Notes: I have installed the Novak linkage. Tranny/NP231 came out of a donor 96 XJ.

Thanks Pete! Thanks 89MJ. IMHO, pizza cutter tires look much better under a truck and a non pizza cutter tire is best suited for a XJ type vehicle. Additionally, when I see tires that stick way the F out, past the sheet metal, it reminds me of a RC car... lol! Yes Tex06, spacers/adapters. I purchased them from a heavy equipment shop. No average aftermarket peddler had 2 inch thick, hubcentric spacers/adapters.

Kenda Klever 35x10.50R17, mounted on 2018 Wrangler Rubicon Recon Wheels. Nicely tucked in under!

Yes, I need 46005 to complete this portion of this vacuum loom.

Are these difficult to replace? If so, why? And is there a write-up on here, of the procedures to do this? Please advise!

Nope. Still acting up. And it's not even warm outside. This lil truck is still chugging. Temperatures, can cause a failing pump to send incorrect fuel pressures to the injectors. Warm fuel, due to heated gasoline returning to the fuel tank through its return line can build up, causing the weak pump to perform poorly.

This is what it sounded like, right after the install of Doorman 43003 and 43004 vaccum looms. Although I am not convinced that all of the bugs are repaired, but at least it is a step in the right direction. 20200101_151918.mp4

Improved, no racing motor at start-up. Post 1 of 2. 20200101_151812.mp4

Awesome reply!

Raffi is great family/business oriented guy.

Replaced their internal fuel pump (abandon in place), for an external fuel pump? And if so, can you supply me with a link and or photos and descriptions. Should I install a check valve, too!

Yes. With the vacuum line slipped over the nipple on the Fuel Pressure Regulator. Remove the vacuum line and the pressure jumps up to 40psi.

I would like to say that this last episode of "Just WTH is wrong w/my Comanche" was all me figuring it out, but no, no it wasn't. With a large part of me texting my friend Michael J Dice and bouncing my problems off with an indispensable, Comanche Club Forums (CCF), we think that we have it narrowed down to, just plain failure of deteriorated vacuum soft parts. First I spoke to Mike, he suggested that I rent a Fuel Pressure Tester (I had to buy it). This afternoon, I tested it. Fuel pressure regulator (FPR) w/the primary vacuum line (PVL) attached was producing just over 30psi. <--- bad. Then Mike suggested that I remove the PVL. I did just that and 'just like magic' that pressure went up to 40psi. That solves that possibility. The FPR is working as it should. And the Fuel Pump was delivering the proper psi, too. That leaves the soft parts being deteriorated, in our mind. So, I will order the Dorman vacuum line kits from Amazon, to see if that is a successful fix. Dorman part numbers, provided by CCF: 46003 and 46004. To recap: if it were not for the above aforementioned, I would of been lost... thanks a bunch, y'all!

Wow, why wouldnt anyone not do that... that is stinking cheap for all of that!

Them things are getting replaced. My fuel pressure regulator is pushing 30psi, with vacuum line attached. Without, 40psi. This means that the regulator is intact, correct? Bleed off, but the pump is producing the necessary pressure. No replacement of the pump at this point.

I just discovered this diagram. So who do I get replacements from, for those destroyed vacuum lines. These buggers are made of a hard substance, or they were cooked from the motors heat. Either way, they are destroyed.
