Worked like a charm! Thanks, Eagle!

Bought a new oil pump, Melling high volume. Would you guys happen to have any tips on how to get the pickup tube onto the pump? I read it’s supposed to be a tight fit but I can’t seem to get any bit of the pickup tube onto the pump

Ok, will do. Thanks, all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welp, hooked it up to a manual gauge and it read 0 psi and the highest being 5 psi. Wanted to make sure there was still oil being pumped so I, again, took the sending unit off and out came a strong, solid stream of oil. And just to double tap on the pressure reading, I hooked up another oil pressure gauge and same readings, but the highest was 10 psi. And it passed the test that you recommend I do. Any suggestions? Diagnosis? I do plan on getting a new sender (part # PS133 or PS155?) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Engine cold, ignition off: 0 ignition turned on: 0 engine started at idle speed: 0 engine 2k RPM idle speed: 0 at operating temp... idle speed: 0 run engine up to 2k RPM: flickered to 40 then back to zero once, haven’t seen it happen again yes, I primed at reinstall. My gramps told me to take the sending unit off and start the engine to verify if the oil pump was even pumping, and it was. So I guess we can eliminate the oil pump failure? still haven’t attached a manual oil pressure gauge for verification. Will report back once done.

And just because the devil’s in the details, the truck hasn’t overheated throughout all this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m running 5-30 for oil at 70 degrees in humid South Carolina. As for the readings at operating temperature, still 0 on the oil pressure gauge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reads 0 ohms before and when I started the truck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apologies on reviving an old thread. A month ago I took the oil pan off to replace the gasket and RMS. Doing so, I took the oil pump off to fully remove the oil pan from under the truck. Putting everything back together and starting the truck, I noticed the oil pressure gauge now sits at zero regardless of how long I’ve been driving it. I’ve replaced the sending unit. I’ve disconnected the wire, and the needle went far right, grounded the wire, and the needle went far left (0). I also took the sending unit off and stuck a zip-tie in to see if there was sludge build up, but nothing but clean, cold oil (after running it for 5 minutes). Could it be a bad oil pump? Just wanted to confirm and get input.

That’s the plan! Thanks for all the help, guys. Truly appreciate it

Yeah, I figured Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found the source of the snap, crackle, pop.

Certain as the DIY. Followed everything as stated, ensuring the slider was engaged before and after putting on the cover.

I was not in 4WD and I have not been since owning the truck.

Well, that didn't work out as well as I thought it would. Is it normal to hear an audible POP as well as the steering wheel to have a mind of its own after doing this? Did the delete, reversed out of my drive way to take it for a test drive and both of those things happened. Didn't feel confident to keep going so I just pulled back into my drive way. I'll look over the DIYs again just to clarify everything but I wouldn't mind the help. Thanks all.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. Got a cover at the JY. jdog, I’ll PM you after I remove it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, my Comanche has a Posi-Lok that doesn’t work, it was installed by one of the previous owners. I’m wanting to remove it since I have no use for it and it doesn’t work. I’ve searched Gunny Google and haven’t found how to remove it or what the disadvantages are, if any. Will I be safe basically unscrewing and removing?

Email sent :)

Thanks for all the info, guys. I really appreciate it!

Hopefully this helps you pros out. Low priority, I’m sure, since it’s Christmas Eve. Hope y’all have a good one!

I currently have a 3” lift with 31” tires from the PO. I was wondering which parts of the suspension I’d have to return to stock to remove the lift (coil springs, leaf springs, struts, etc). I plan on keeping the tires. I’ve Googled and YouTubed how to remove a lift but nothing’s come up useful for the Comanche. And I understand it won’t be stock height with 31s.

Yes, absolutely! Thank you for asking! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
