The best that I can remember only the speedo works. No engine temp, oil pressure or fuel. I don't remember if the tach works. It's been in the shop for a few weeks

So I finally bought a Comanche. I have wanted one for years and finally got in a position that I could get one. I bought an 87 4x4 with 4.0 5 speed. This truck was originally an Automatic and the PO converted it to a 5 speed. A bit of a hack job but it works. I am not sure what transmission they put in it. I will confirm that as soon as I get it back from getting some front end work done. I have a few issues that I am pretty sure are related to the Transmission swap. The main one being that the gauges do not work. From what little research that I have been able to do, I believe that the Gauge clusters are different from an AT to an MT. I am also thinking that the ECM may be different. I bought this truck as a project knowing that I had some work to do to it. Any help with what I need to do to get the gauges working would be greatly appreciated. I am new to this forum and am already addicted to it. Great information and great members!

I will once I get the title work done.

Thanks for all of the info guys! This is a great forum so far and I am sure that I will be spending a lot of time on here with the purchase of my first Comanche

Is the front XJ carpet (2 door or 4 door?) the same as the MJ?
