Man, I'm starvin. unos buenos pinche nachos would be fantastic right now.

Listen, if this doesn't work, just for craps and giggles, remove the rear shocks and test em. Mine wouldn't decompress and caused a shaking at highway speeds that wasnt DW but wasn't mild either. Changed the shocks and no more shaking.

Here's the firgures in order if ya need em.

Ignition System - Engine Bucking/Surging Models 1987-88 Comanche Wagoneer And Cherokee With 4.0L Engine Subject Engine Ignition Cross Fire Index DRIVEABILITY Date July 25, 1988 No. 18-53-88 P-2927 (C18-55) SYMPTOM/CONDITION Some 1987-88 Cherokee, Wagoneer and Comanche vehicles with the 4.0L engine may exhibit an engine ignition cross fire during vehicle operation. The ignition cross fire will normally occur as a harsh bucking or surging condition. NOTE: THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES DISTRIBUTOR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES IN I.S. NOTES 31E, 40E, 42E (M.R. 244) AND 21E, 34E, 36E (M.R. 277). DIAGNOSIS Road test the vehicle with the MS 1700 Diagnostic Tester in the "State Display" test mode. Observe the engine vacuum and record the vacuum reading when the cross fire condition occurs. An engine cross fire complaint will be repeatable at the vacuum range which was previously recorded regardless of engine vehicle speed. If a cross fire condition is diagnosed, proceed with the following repair procedure. PARTS REQUIRED Distributor Cap (1) PN 33004024 REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the battery negative terminal. 2. Remove the coil wire and spark plug wires from the distributor cap. FIGURE 1 3. Remove the distributor cap (A) and cut a "window" © into the side of the distributor cap at the #1 spark plug wire post (D). The "window" should be large enough to allow easy visual inspection of the position of the distributor rotor (E) at the #1 spark plug wire post. Reinstall the distributor cap. Figure 1 FIGURE 2 4. Install a wrench or socket onto the vibration damper retaining bolt (F). Rotate the engine in a clockwise direction until the #1 cylinder is at top dead center. Align the timing mark (G) on the vibration damper (H) with the "0" degree mark on the front cover timing scale. The tip of the distributor rotor should be near the #1 spark plug wire post. Figure 2 FIGURE 3 5. Disconnect the distributor electrical connection. Remove the distributor holddown clamp, holddown bolt and distributor. Remove the distributor cap and rotor. 6. Place the distributor housing upside down in a soft jaw vise. Scribe a line (I) 1/2 inch from the end of the distributor locating tab (J). Cut the distributor locating tab at the scribed line with a saw. FIGURE 4 7. Remove any burrs and metal filings from the distributor. Reinstall rotor. 8. If necessary, using a flat blade screwdriver, turn the oil pump gear drive shaft (B) until the slot is slightly past the 11 o'clock position. The oil pump gear drive shaft is accessible through the distributor mounting bore (N) in the engine block. Figure 4 FIGURE 5 9. Visually align the modified locating tab area (K) of the distributor housing with the holddown clamp bolt hole (L). Figure 5 FIGURE 6 10. Turn the rotor to the 4 o'clock position. Figure 6 11. Lower the distributor into the engine block until it seats. The rotor should now be very close to the 5 o'clock position. Figure 6 FIGURE 7 12. Reinstall the distributor cap with the cutout "window". Rotate the distributor housing until the trailing edge of the distributor rotor tip(E) is just departing from the #1 spark plug wire post terminal (D). Figure 7 13. Reinstall the distributor holddown clamp and bolt. Tighten the holddown bolt to 9.5-14 ft.lbs. Reinspect the position of the rotor to the #1 spark plug wire post to insure that it has not moved. 14. Install the new, distributor cap, reconnect the distributor electrical connections and the battery negative terminal. POLICY: Reimbursable under the provisions of the warranty.

Yes sir 18-53-88 sir http://www.alldatadiy.com/alldata/AFI~V10369567~C27515~R0~OD~N/0/34870067/56416621/56416628/56418252/34853741/34850750/42063452/120832951

For the love of gawd man. Don't junk em. And if ya do give it to me. :D The mechanic told ya it's an ignition/timing problem. I think we just spent like 6 months W/ Tkgibbs on this same problem. Check your battery cables (especially the ground and add another), wires, plugs, distributer cap,and coil. Let us know how it goes :popcorn:

Go to the auto parts store and pick up the window cleaner that comes in a can. When you spray it , it foams up. Get the expensive one that says anti-fog. Then go to LOwes or Home Depot and they sell this stuff that that sucks the moisture outta your basement or crawlspace. Comes in a bucket, cost like five bucks and lasts 6-8 weeks.

Wow :eek: I never knew Pete was pat's dad. Man is oplsled gonna be pissed off when he finds out how much money he's lost in child support the last 20 years :rotfl2: Anyway, I don't think putting a bigger lift on would be dumb at all. If ya don't need or use 4wheel drive ,don't worry about it. I think 3" is a great looking height for a DD. But if yer gonna keep haulin heavy stuff I'd definately go with rear springs that have a better load rate. By the way your truck looks great :D

I'm just waiting for the FBI to come up with a new one before British intelligence finds me :rotfl2:

Oh, oh, any other opinions on the flush. :popcorn:

Where did ya buy it?

Just give us a price. :popcorn:

Well, I was gonna do all that, so guess it's not a good idea. :cry:

Anybody know anything about aircompressors? Is this a good one? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CRAFTSMAN-AIR-COMPRESSOR-5HP-30GAL-LOOK-NO-RESERVE-PA_W0QQitemZ350037648935QQihZ022QQcategoryZ43986QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks guys. I got it. :D

:agree:

Seriously now. I know a lot of people wouldn't even think of selling, but what do you believe the price would be if ya did? Wade said $6000 I said $4000. What would you guys sell for?

i know i may sound insane, but i wouldn't let mine go for under $6000. I don't think that's insane at all. I just went through all my reciepts and I've spent $2,476.95 on just parts for my truck. Granted, almost everything was new. Some prices I could have paid less for and some I got really good deals on. And that doesn't even count the $1800 I spent on the truck (got ripped off on Ebay). Still I wouldn't even think of selling for anything less than $4000 and my truck is still stock everything and I'm not even done restoring it yet. That's it we're starting a new thread.

Yeah, well you know what guys. I know we've all decided that no one should pay more than $2.37 for a Comanche, unless of course you live outside of WI, but lets be serious for a minute. What would you guys sell your manche for if ya put it up for sale? I know what Kelley Blue Book says. I myself would not sell mine anymore, but for some reason if I had to it would be more than $1500. I'm sure I've gone way over that just in parts alone. Actually I'm gonna tally what I've spent in parts since I got it in August of 2007. I'll be right back.

How do we resize a picture to make it fit in the avatar space?

I would definately check your battery cables, and battery. If they check out, then check your grounds and clean where they connect to the block and firewall. And after that, add a ground wire from your negative terminal to the fender or firewall for a better ground. Worked miracles for my starting times.

Motto my as s! What is the search button for! Well what ever, but you are to search first then ask. Some people don't like reposting twice. I'm all for asking whatever when ever but help yourself first. If not then screw it, I won't try to help. _________________ Please excuse our friend minibeast. It's been a while since he's gotten da nookie. He really is a nice guy :jump:

So 10w 30 would be a good choice for 220,000 miles on a 4.0 with a whole lotta sludge built up inside or should I use something differnt?

I bought these injectors also. I can't tell you if it improved my gas mileage because of other problems with vacuum leaks and such. However I did get better acceleration, faster starting times, and improved drivability. Not only that but I also lost 19 pounds on the Precision injector diet and you can too. Just look at me now. :jump:

No, I did too, it helped. However, my DW dissapeared completely after I changed wheels. I had two that were bent. Oh, and balancing and allighning them helped too.
