Can Spell Comanche

Can Spell Comanche (2/11)

  1. from my experience you don't have to remove the door handle to remove the door trim. the door handle has some tab that's hold the bezel in place, once you pop the tabs from the bezel to the handle, you need to rotate the bezel to get it off the handle. hope this picture helps, its from a xj with electric windows and locks, but the bezel is the same Image Not Found
  2. well guys i need all of yalls help on this one ive got another thread on here about the wreck i was involved in on wensday. just throught id make a thread for others that might find themselves in this situation. what should i expect from the insurance company to do/trick me when they come see the comanche. its a 1987 4.0 with a aw4 2wd. 130K, body has some rust, but other than that the truck is perfect i saw the nada guide which has my car rated at 2000 low and 7000 high. what can i do when they offer me something less than 2000, obviously ill won't except that, but what process should i take to get what the vehicle is worth.
  3. ive got no idea how much the insurance will give me, what has other people gotten in my situation?, other than the truck having rust, its in great condition, interior a+, engine and tranny are a+ also
  4. its in my driveway now still waiting for the adjuster from the insurance company to come look at it, i got so much flack from my family and the tow guy, about towing it to my house..."its not worth anything" ...."why do you want to pay for the tow, its just going to the crusher, after the insurance guy declares it totaled".... :fs1: haven't made a decision upon what ill do with the truck yet. haveing alot of pressure from the family to get rid of her, but usually when someone tells me to do something i do the other... we will see what the future hold for me and my dear manche
  5. well i finially got home to post some pic.s up for everyone to see Image Not Found Image Not Found doesn't look as bad in the pic.s, but the trans tunnel is all bent up, and the interior plastic pieces are all cracked, steering column is broken, and somehow the windshield is busted, but my head (other than my chin) isn't hurt, i think since the trans tunnel is bent up, the cab twisted and cracked the windshield. worst part is i spent all weekend painting all the chrome pieces in the front black, and fixing a crack in the windshield from a rock on the highway. and now since there all broken you can see the chrome agian. bloody chrome just wants to show itself... ill post some more pic.s later....
  6. How much should expect to get back from the insurance? 130k auto 4.0 Complete front end destroyed, interior panels broke, tran tunnel bent up from inside the cab, so I think she might be totaled
  7. Just totaled my manche, in hospital now, wait shouldn't b on phone
  8. 70 bucks for a cell phone holder, well put a thumb in my pooper and call me Sally, ur nuts man
  9. Well to give more info to help in this diagnosis, I am having an oil leak from the pan area, there is also oil on the bellhousing, I was hoping it was from the Rms, and not the seal on the tranny oil pump, reasoning being I don't want to pull the motor, I'll give a stab at replacing the Rms ,oil pump, and pan gasket, to see if it helps my oil pressure, Where do I hook up the external oil pressure gauge to get a accurate reading?
  10. so i just did the test as describe about removed the wire from the sender- went all the way to the right past the 80 psi mark ground the wire- couldnt get a wire to stay in the connector(don't have a second person with me to do this) but with it hooked up to the sending unit, with the engine in acc mode, the needle went to zero.
  11. Thanks, I'm guessing this all can b done without pulling the engine?
  12. Ok I stand corrected, I was just speaking on how I fix my problem/ which was similar to the op
  13. So I've got a 4.0 with about 130k, recently did a gauge swap, so I could have more than just a warning light letting me know that armageddon is about to occur. So to my question: I'm reading 20 psi on my gauge cluster no matter what. If the engine is cold when start up, I reads zero for a split second and then goes to 20 psi, if I'm driving on the highway 20 psi, if I'm wot from a light 20 psi. Is my sensor gone bad? Or r the chariots of fire blazing towards me?
