I have the original in right now and it isn’t working anymore. Idk what I messed up when I switched the working gauge from my “old” one into the new one and back.

So I've narrowed the problem down to the actual guage. The temp sending wire is working and so is the temp sender. If I got an aftermarket one, could I just splice it into the temp sending wire because it is working? I've looked into it a little and it looks like you have to splice into one of the hoses and have get a whole new temp sender set up for the after market ones, but is there a type/way I could just splice it? If anyone has done this a link to the one you bought would be super helpful.

I swapped the two gauges and now neither of them will work 😅 any suggestions??

It originally had the 3/4 cluster with the large fuel gauge. I actually won't have time to get back to my truck until Tuesday, but I'll test it against a good ground then to see if it swings to hot. The cooling system is filled properly, but I'm not sure if the thermometer is opening correctly. Since the engine doesn't seem to hot after driving, and the fact that it wasn't overheating before I put the new cluster in, I'm inclined to believe it is the actual cluster. I haven't considered just swapping the gau ges on the clusters, is that difficult?

I put a gauge cluster from a 1988 Jeep Cherokee into my 1989 comanche and everything except for the temp gauge works great. I really wanted the tachometer, but now without a temp gauge I’m screwed and I’m going to have to put the old one back in. Is there a way to make the 88’ work? Or are they just incompatible? Is it worth it to get a separate tach to mount on my dash or should I look for another OEM one with the tach. The temp gauge sometimes seems accurate, but other times it just keeps rising, it’s not overheating because it’s on my short drive to work that I’ve never overheated on and when I pop the hood it doesn’t even feel that hot. Let me know what you guys think.

I couldn't find a thread about sound system setups so I thought I'd start one. I'm thinking about getting some subs, but limited cab space causes some issues. Just wondering if/what other people have done with their comanches to increase sound quality. Pictures are highly encouraged

I got the old style ones delivered today, and got them on. It worked great! The newer “universal style” would not work on these older ones. It’s angled on the old ones so the newer, flat ones wouldn’t fit right. Plus you’d have to plug up the other hole.

Thanks for the advice! I’m just gonna pick up that wheel cylinder from autozone this next week and start soaking the flare nuts on the hardline today.

While bleeding the brakes today, I stripped out the threads on the rear drum breaks that the bleeder valves go into. So it’s not the actual little valves you unscrew, but it’s the threads on the drum brake. What’s my best option? I’m thinking just steal a whole new assembly off an xj at the junk yard, although I would love to upgrade to disc brakes in the back. Has anyone done a disc brake swap? Is it worth it? And has anyone some a drum brake assembly swap, anything I need to be careful about?

Thanks man, I was just about to go buy one for a short bed that I found locally.

I have a 1989 mj, mostly stock. I think roll bars look really good, but I don't even know where to start. Is aftermarket the way to go? or should I consider looking for a stock one? Also, how do they attach?
