Wow. I never saw a green one before. Is that paint original?

That is kinda what I figured but I wanted to make sure by asking someone who has dealt with this issue before. Looks like I'll go back to Advance Auto and buy that hose again after all lol. Thanks for the help guys. Shake

I'm very sure. My 96 Cherokee w/4.0 has the same lower/rear/outlet line as my Comanche. Both have the same quick disconnect fittings on both ends. The Dorman part (624 300) has a newer style fitting with metal teeth inside that require a special tool to remove. It's not compatible with the fitting on my Radiator as far as I know.

I was wondering if anyone know where to get a lower/rear transmission oil cooler line with quick disconnect fittings on both ends. That is what came on my 88 Comanche w/4.0 Automatic 2WD. I ordered a line from Advance Auto and the Dorman part that I received has a new style connector on the rubber end that has 4 metal teeth inside to connect it. This is the part 624-300 http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Auto-Trans-Oil-Cooler-Hose-Assembly-Dorman---OE-Solutions_15230042-P_2072_R|GRPTRANAMS_565745183___ Is there a way to make this new style part work that I'm overlooking? I'd rather have the original quick disconnects if possible for ease of service etc. Any help on the subject is much appreciated. I've tried Autozone, NAPA and O'Reilys and they all have the same style assembly.

Thanks for the help guys. Turns out the rear drivers side axle shaft is warped and needs to be replaced along with the bearing. I also found out I need to replace the rear transmission line, drag link and track bar. Hopefully the cooler for the tranny isn't stopped up. I'd hate to have to buy a new radiator too. I can't wait to get all this stuff finished so I can enjoy this new truck instead.

Does anyone know the correct gear lubricant to use for a Comanche? I'd like to use synthetic if possible for the longevity and performance. I was looking at this one. I dunno if this is the correct weight though. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Synthetic-Gear-Lubricant-LS-75W-140-%281-qt-%29-Mobil1_7070076-P_N3242_T|GRP2035____#fragment-1

Well I took it down the road to get a better listen and it makes the roaring sound even when I let off the gas or accelerate so I'm pretty sure it's a wheel bearing. That's my guess anyway. Also it feels like maybe the back breaks aren't working so I'd think maybe the axle seals might be leaking cause them to malfunction possibly. Anybody got any advice on taking this thing apart? I've searched the site and found a few threads but any help is grateful.

Hey guys. I'm new to the boards here. I just picked up a 88 Comanche 2WD/Automatic for $900. The body has zero rust and only 147,000 miles on the 4.0. However there is a somewhat loud roaring sound coming from the rear axle. I also have a 96 Cherokee and it doesn't make this sound at all. Is there anyway to test/figure out what is causing the problem without taking the axle/chunk apart? A local mechanic said just to replace the axle but I priced one via the junkyard network and they wanted $700 shipped. Surely there is a cheaper solution for a good ol GA boy like me. Numbers on the axle are 42106 268 6 REV D 11-13-85
