So going with the AX15 sill would be my best bet. I will have to do the reasearch on what it takes to swap to the Ax15. Thanks Richard

What would it take to swap the AX15 into this Comanche?I know the transmisson ;) Do these trucks use a divorced transfer case? Or does the transfer case bolt to the tranny? I still would most likely do the v8 swap, but it would remain mostly a stock 350 from my 3/4 ton. The AX15 would be the easiest way to keep it 4wd. Then I can loof for a differnt transmission-transfer case and some larger axles. I still am going to put the Cummins 4bt in something. I guess it will have to be a s10 with a full frame. Or I have a 1/2 chevy short stepside truck. Richard

I will have to look for a AX15 or a NV3550

I do have a SM465 from my wrecked 3/4 tonn chevy. But it is a 2wd tranny It late and I am going to hit the sack for awhile. Nite all.

I have not seen the truck yet, it is aupposed to be a '88. Would it be a AX15 a AX5 or the Peugeot/BA10-15.It has the 4.0l 6cyl in itand it is 4 wd. It looks like I am in big "dodo" :mad: if it doesn't have the AX15 transmission. Novak doesn't list a 87-88 transmission, This is for the Advance Adapters lists 1987-2004 = AX5 1987-1989 = Peugeot/BA10-15 1989-1999 = AX15 So I don't know what it has till I look at it, Or does someone know More when I find out.

I am going to look at a 88 Comanche 4x4 in the next few days. Bad Engnie Fenders cut out. Single stack exhaust in bed. 5 sp tranny. Front end removed, bad computer and some wiring. .I have a Chevy 350 and granny 4 sp tranny out of my 86 chevy 3/4 toon truck my son wrecked. I checked with the cummins 4bt group I am on, and most thought the 4bt was too much for the tuck. And as a unibody made the choices even worse. There are some other diesel choices. I do own 2 GM 5.7 diesels. One with over 400,000 miles and the other one is more than 200,000 miles. I would use one of them, but pistons are getting very hard to find. My other choice would be a VW TDI engine. Any adapters for the 5 speed AX Trans that should be in the truck to the Chevy V8 t the AX tranny, I could use the SM465 tranny, but it is 2 wd drive. I would perfer to stay manual transmission, but I think I would prefer a 5sp non granny transmission. There not a lot of hils much less montains in my part of Texas. I did own a Bronco II 4x4 but it was usefull on Ice of snow. LMK what you all think would be the best way ti gi with this truck. Oh he is asking $400.00 for IT. Richard
