Will havce to check the rear stud....after it cools down, have the feelin the only way to get to it is by feel....

Yes, I have, and I have already changed the oil and added a few different chemical "fix it" products. ( I've worked for Advance Auto for quite awhile now I really think I've tried them all ) and I am constantly being told to, "just drive it dude". I would really like to solve this little issue as the owner of the truck is a very dear friend of mine, but I can't seem to crack it, and I was already the guy who replaced everything went something went wrong, (that guy was younger and not very informed and was lacking patience.....LOL)

It almost sounds more lick a non-metallic clicking. The noise does get faster as the engine rpm goes up.

Okay, not to down the yj/tj guys, BUT..... It seems to me on a few other boards there is a lack of intelligent, helpful conversation, when you post a tech topic, I'm hoping one of my fellow comanche/jeep enthusiasts may be able to help me out. I am working on a 2001 Wrangler with a 4.0 and 5 spd. I have a tapping heard mainly in the exhaust pipe after the header. I have used a stethoscope and heard nothing out of the ordinary at the intake/exhaust ports directly off the head, injectors, spark plugs, coils, oilpan, block (both sides). This "noise" can be heard in and around the Jeep, it really likes to reflect off passing cars while driving, it does get more frequent but no louder at higher rpm, and load plays no factor, neither does engine temp. Has anyone come across this? is it a bad exhaust valve seat? like I said I can hear it the best under the truck, in the exhaust pipe after the manifold/header and cannot find any leaks/cracks/bad gaskets in the exhaust manifold. Anybody???? Thanks! Jake

Chris Ya know, now that I think about it. If you know anyone in the market up your way for a Honda, send em my way and I can get you some more driveway space.......I'd appreciate the help! Jake

Chris, small world! I'm the guy that has text you about it. You have it listed with a very fair price and it looks to be well worth it, just don't have it right now to spend or I would be there in a heartbeat with cash! Hoping to run across that dream find so I'm putting feelers out all over. Thanks again! Jake As far as the 87 goes Geo, different block and head, really want the fuel injection that was available from 88-92, that is kinda one of my specialties at work...Advance Auto....there is a wealth of info at my disposal and I abuse it one lunch break at a time! LOL!

I am currently looking for my next project, I have built many FSJ's and have never done a Comanche. I do not like doing body work, nor do I like paying someone too, so I am looking for something in good shape as far as rust or body damage is concerned. I am located on the east coast (New Jersey, please insert your fav NJ joke here) and am looking for something within 2-3 hrs drive time to come and look at. If interested I do have a 2000 Honda Accord, 2 door, 4 cylinder, 5 speed, with all power and sunroof. I am willing to trade this vehicle as My fiancee' and I just bought a Grand Cherokee and no longer need the Honda. Thanks, Jake
