  1. Do these Do these vents just pop out with the careful use of a flathead?
  2. That looks nice but too pricey for me. I just ordered a mopar one online and I will just get hoses locally. Should I switch from green antifreeze to the orange stuff?
  3. It looks like I have developed a antifreeze leak at the water pump. I don't want to replace with autozone brand junk. They have a nice one on 4wd hardware called the cool something...? I will replace the pump and all heater and radiator hoses. Just flushed the system and put new thermostat and housing on about a thousand miles ago. What is a good pump to put on and are any hoses better than the others? Thanks
  4. Not sure. He told me 86 but I havent seen the title or anything. I think I am going to have to pass it up due to not having time or room for another one...at least that's what my wife says. If someone wants it, I can get you the info.
  5. I found a red 86 2wd shortbed. It was wrecked lightly on the front. Needs fenders, grill, bumper. Hood and radiator are good. It is only a 4cyl. The bed is is rough and needs replaced. There is no rust on the truck and it does start after sitting for 2 years. He has the title and wants $300. If I got the truck I would do a 4wd conversion and a 97+ front end. Does this sound like a decent deal? I have been looking for over year in my area and only seen 2-3 4wd and no one wants to sell them. How much I looking to put this truck where I want it and is it goo g to be hard to come across a good bed for the shortbed?
  6. where is a good place to get front spacers and shackles. I sit about 1" lower up front. I would like a 2"front spacer and a 1" shackle
  7. Well, I trimmed the inside part of the fender flare at the bottom and now get no rubbing. This is just a temp fix to drive on the street. I assume it will still rub when I get it out on some trails. Thinking of doing a 1.5" spacer up front and an aftermarket shackle in the rear. Will this give me a little more clearance without causing issues? Is there certain brand I should use or stay away from? Does anyone know what the ride height is of a 4x4 manche on 265/75/16? That would help me know what I have. Thanks
  8. I can try to get some pics, but that is what I am saying. I don't think it is a 3" lift. They are aftermarket front springs and there are no blocks or shackles in the rear...the truck sits level so I can only assume it is an aftermarket rear spring setup. So, should I add a front sPacer and a rear shackle? Trim flares? Just buy a 3" lift?
  9. Just had worn out mtr's. I wanted km2's and after reading on here...I thought 265/75/16 would fit with my so called 3" lift. It will hardly ever see off road, just snow occasionally. I need to trim or do something just to street drive but would also like to have enough room so I don't have to worry about rubbing at full flex.
  10. i was told my comanche had a 3" lift when i bought it. I doubeted that it was 3" but does look taller than a non lifted one. I put some stock 06 rubicon wheels and tires 245/75/16 mtr on and had no problem. i just put some 265/75/16 bfg km2 on those same wheels and i rub the front fender on the side by the door when i turn. The lift is all springs, no blocks, spacer, etc...do i add and inch or so more lift or cut the stock flares off at the bottom? i don't want to trim any metal off of this truck. any ideas? thanks
  11. Wow! Thanks for that response. I don't know where to start. I have the d35 rear and mainly street drive. I do not want to trim on this truck. I have 245/75/16. I think I am going to stay with 31's after what I've read from you and some more research. I am looking at 265/75/16 bfg km2 and some new shocks. I have had good luck with bilstein in the past. Do they make a shock for the Comanche with up to 3" lift? If not what is a good all around shock?
  12. When I bought my commanche, I was told it had a 3" lift. It doesn't have blocks, spacers, or shackles...so it must be front and rear springs lift. Right now it sits on a set of Moab wheels with bald 245 mtr's. I need new tires and want to go a bigger but it looks to me that the 245 goodyears are as big as I can go without rubbing. My questions are 1. Does this seem like a 3" lift? 2. How would you go about squeezing 33's without trimming 3. Can I go 33's without any other mods(driveshaft, brake lines, etc) Thanks a bunch
  13. I am not having any problems other than a slight miss. I drive it daily and other than an oil change, I haven't messed with much. I a Pretty sure it has no thermostat because it doesn't get much above 120-140 so I have almost no heater. I just wanted to go through it and change fluids, flush, stuff, and do a basic tune up before winter.
  14. I am making finally going through the Comanche and need to gather a full list of parts. Any input would be very helpful. I would like to know specifics on all of these things and maybe anything I left off. Thanks Plugs Wires Differentials(fluid, gaskets and/or sealant?) Transfer case Transmission(ax15) Thermostat(195?) Coolant Radiator cap
  15. is there a place to get replacements for these?
  16. my steering is a bit loose and i will take care of that later on. this popping noise is not coming from the front. it is in the rear or under the cab at the least. I found out that it doesn't do it when i turn right. when i take off from a dead dtop it does it and when i take slow left turns it will do it. u joints all look ok(no caps missing). could it be tansmission mount or u joints on the axle? i would think it it were on the driveshaft that it would make noise no matter which way i turned.
  17. Where is this bushing you speak of?
  18. My volt gauge is dead...doesn't ever move any. I will have the dash part this weekend. What do I look for to fix this?
  19. if all caps are in place is there another way to tell if it needs to be replaced? all all ujoints on these the same(driveshaft and axle)?
  20. I here/feel a light popping from underneath when I am taking odd from a start and when doing slow turns. When I shift to secod gear it goes away. I thought it might be leaf springs/ bushings, but I can jump on the bumper and don't hear it. I also have rubber bushings in the leafs. Could it be u-joints? Ball joints? I also have to sway bar disconnected because the links were broke if that matters.
  21. I don't have access to the scanning tool and am not checked for emissions. Do I remove the bulb from behind?
  22. I haven't had my MJ for very long but the "maintenance required" light has been on since I got it. It runs great but just wondering how I would go about finding the reason it is on or turning it off...?
  23. I checked fuse and relay and verified voltage good to the lamps. My bulbs are corroded and rusty but not burned out...is there a replacement piece for this whole bulb piece that I can wire in to the existing wiring?
  24. I have factory fogs that don't work? Anyone know what fuse they use, or where else to start looking for trouble?
  25. 7 sounds right. That would make mine worth what?....25 grand :cheers:
