Blue88Comanche

Decided to touch up the front of my Comanche Saturday. I repainted the headlight trim and the metal headlight retainer strap thing, with Plasti Dip (I am starting to really love that stuff) here are a few pics! I also found my A/C leak, it was the Pressure switch. I also tested the system to make sure it did not have any other issues and it seems to be running fine otherwise. one up coming weekend i am going to replace the drier and pressure switch, then find someone to put a vacuum on it.

I will give those out a try when i replace my sway bar, Thanks

What dryer did you get and where from? I would need to replace mine and I don't think it has the glass sight you are talking about.

safley secure the jeep so it won't roll. jack up the rear of the jeep make sure both tires are in the air, put in neutral, then spin the the tires by hand.. if they go the same direction then its Limited, auto locked, or spooled. if they spin in opposite directions then its open

my main goal was to find the Leak.. It should be empty by the morning.. then replace the drier and then add oil and Freon

Finished installing the Aussie Locker in the Comanche today. It is very quiet, i can only really hear it when i have the window down.

edit having internet issues

I must have been writing my reply the same time as you.. I knew there was a pressure difference but not a capacticy difference

So 2 1/4 lbs or 3 12oz is what i found. I also found the leak, its the pressure switch. That also explains why I never could get the system to start. I also Jumped the connector to test the system is seems to be working thus far. but i have a HUGE leak.

I need to look up the capacities for the r134a but the guy that was with me was saying usually 18oz is should get it going

I had a guy at work try to find the AC coolant leak on my Jeep today, we put 1 1/2 cans of coolant and the compressor would not kick on. so i touched it to the battery and it still works. we let is cycle some then i hooked it back up properly and it still would not work. we had pressure. I swapped all the relays around with my fuel pump and they all worked. the fuse is good. How can i test the Pressure switch for the compressor? can i short out the connector to make it think its on? thanks

more pics here http://www.flickr.com/photos/1jdax/sets/72157633351987843/ they where repainting some sections of the Battleship and replacing rusted sections of the Drum's hull.

I had been looking at the P239s for a while, every now and then I can find them used for a good price. Right now I have the sig P229 in .357-SIG, .40 and 9mm.. It's a great firearm. I basically paid $450 for it (.357-sig only) then later bought a .40 cal barrel. And a 9mm conversion barrel not long ago. The .357-sig and .40 use the same mags and the 9mm can be used in the same mags but may jam. I still need to pick up a 9mm mag for it. And for everywhere carry I have a diamondback .380 super good price at the time.

I forgot to take pics but i will get some withe the locker installed in the carrier before it is installed into the axle.. So anyway I had just finished installing the last spring when i remembered i forgot to install the spacers with the cam gears :thwak: grease covers hands and a few minuets later i was finished for good this time lol

I agree the Turbine wheels are awesome!

A friend of mine took my D44 carrier to work with him. He and the other guys there where finally able to remove the stupid stuck roll pin. So tonight I installed the Aussie locker into the carrier and if its not raining this weekend I will swap out the carriers again... Hurray more oil.....

I have had my MJ for 5 years and 99% of the time I do great but I have my moments when I stall out in my yard lol I love driving stick shift cars and trucks. My WK Grand Cherokee even has auto stick (sport shifter) it's always fun to play with a V8 even if its just a 4.7L I can't wait to get my uncle's 1990 300ZX running again its a blast to drive with the T-Tops off!

I would give it a shot, there should be mine had 2 13mm nuts on the adjuster

so how would one convert their AC to OBA? my system has a leak and the compressor is still good.

it the equilizer under the truck does not move then the cable may have broken and requires a replacement, can you tell if maybe the cable came un hooked from the foot lever?

I remember learning how to drive stick, it took me a while but i was never that bad lol

A friend of mine took my dana 44 carrier to the machine shop where he works and was able to remove the freaking roll pin. after messing with it for a while he finally pulled out a BFH and heat the cross shaft out without harming the carrier. so tonight i will be getting my locker installed into the carrier and this weekend i hopefully will get the carriers swapped! . :MJ 1: . :banana: :banana:

Nice looking MJ, I love that rear bumper! Congrats on your MJOTM :cheers:

I had to order an aftermarket cross member for my swap.. And my tranny did not come with a mounting plate now that was a pita... I bought a rusty's crossmember I haven't had any issues with it. However if possible find a tranny with the external slave. This way if the slave goes out (and the internal will) it will be easier and cheaper to replace

Today is the last Day of April, Thanks everyone for all the kind words, and the Comanche of the Month Honor! . :MJ 1: .
