does anyone know the proper throttle cable length for an 89 4.0/AW4 2wd manche? mine is busted but 2 different lengths are listed. thanks.

Oh, guess i got a little too excited with the pentastar logo on the emissions sticker :hmm:

I'm planning on driving everywhere with this baby, from the lows of death valley to the highest peak in the states, ice cold morning starts to 3 digit hill climbs in mid summer, I'm aware of the possibility of "surprise" problems with anything automotive ( I fix cars for a living) but the whole purpose if possible is to "pinpoint" the weaknesses of these awesome rigs :brows: to try and prevent them, I'm a mopar guy through and through and know they can build bullet proof vehicles and this is the one I personally think is unique and worthwhile,,,just out of curiosity how much of this 89 4.0/AW4 D35 SWB manche is mopar I know the trannys Aisin Warner (japanese/german) built but what about the rest?

Thank you for the post!!! :cheers: :bowdown: :wrench: :yes:

thank you :cheers:

Does anyone know what the moog part number is for the upper control arm bushings on an 89 2wd comanche are? I came up with K3162 at rock auto but its listed as a 4wd kit.

Hows the flow in the fuel return lines? cat plugged up? defective replacement part?

Anyone tried replacing their own windshield? I have a leak thats killing my passenger side floor board but I can't find the gasket/seal for the windshield.

:popcorn:

I really don't mean to throw a wrench in the gears but I'm upgrading to the comp cams 68-232-4 cam (lift IN .460 EX .476 Duration @.050 IN .206 EX .212 Intake centerline 110 lobe separation 113)does that make any difference with the same tire size?

I thought they would be a little too much for the tire size I'm aiming to get the best mileage out of my truck whats the best mileage you guys have gotten out of a SWB 2x4 AW4 4.0?

if possible can you ask for the windshield gasket manufacturer? I need to replace mine before it really kills my floor boards,thank u.

I'm planning on upgrading to 4:10s on my DD manche with 215/75 R 15 tires (27.7" diameter) with a Renix 4.0,is this too steep of a ratio? if not can I go bigger? This rig will see loooong highway trips any input on driveability and mileage is welcome,thank you.

Can the bigger 23 gallon tanks be installed on the short bed models? if so are they difficult to find?

How bout gas mileage? anyone have tips on better mileage from the renix?

WOW I didn't know these machines had so much going for them :cheers: do the balancer's have a tendency to slip ? do the flexplate's crack?

I tried ordering a csf 3 row radiator through the parts bin.com and found it to be the WORST online company to do business with,These @holes were quick to withdraw my money but when I called for my tracking number or AT LEAST some kind of update on my order (which by the way took me an hour to get to talk to someone) they gave a B.S lie that it would be shipped ASAP,,,, lo and behold it never was and when I called back again was told it would be back ordered for about 3 weeks!!! stay away from these guys and don't waste your time and money.

Sounds great! thank you all for the input.

I'm planning on making my Comanche my daily driver, I want to make it reliable enough to start er up and drive across the country any given day :wrench: but have read on the net about the AW4 being somewhat unreliable or just OK as far as strength, the unibody structure being somewhat flimsy and trucks breaking in half? Dana 35's being weak rears I know the 4.0 is heck of a good reliable engine but are there any specific parts for the renix equipped manches to keep a close eye on? I have an 89 renix 4.0/AW4 D35 rear so cal (Very little rust,even under the carpet) I don't plan on towing with the truck,but I plan on occasionally throwing my engine blocks or a cherry picker in the rear for my other projects,any input on suspension,drivetrain,body mods are welcome(By the way iv'e already gone through the "what would you share with other comanche owners thread")

k charcoal stays, kitty still goes

I was wondering if the charcoal canister can be removed and if so how do you bypass it?I will also be removing my cat I want to leave it set up so I can easily put them back on (both cat and canister) I have an 89 renix 4.0 AW4.

What year(s) Taurus? sounds like it would be cheaper than the twin zirgo fans i'm thinking of using,I'm on a very tight budget with the kids going back to school and the way the economy is.

I'm upgrading my manche to a 3 row radiator and electric fans,I was wondering what some of you guys were using as far as fan/shroud combos aftermarket or factory?,I was thinking of using a factory shroud but have found that there are many different ones.Can some of you let me know what youre running? I have an 89 4.0L/AW4 with AC I plan on using as a daily driver thanks

Thank you,guess ill go that route :banana:

Guess Ill have to adapt something,I read somewhere that these were GM steering columns,is that true I'm thinking I can measure the diameter of the column and go from there,what do you guys think?
