Locked in his truck?!?!?!? Blonde Star to the rescue

The '86 MJ fenders had capital letters to "COMANCHE," while the '87+ letters were "Comanche." (Although, someone on here claimed their '87 came from the factory with "COMANCHE.")

Do you hear the pump prime EVERY TIME when you turn the key on (engine off)? If not, check ballast resistor. Check and clean the pump ground wire (behind left tail light). Yr? Engine?

Cap on my 1988 Comanche
87MJTIM replied to Jeeps Forever's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
A few more posts and you can put it in the classified. Is it a Comanche top or a generic? Fill in your signature - Yr., engine, trans., any mods done to it, etc. - and your location. That way if some is local and wants it, they can pick it up. -
Lots of discussion about this. I’ve read several posts that 75/90 and 10/30 are similar. 75/90 has additives that give it that wonderful smell. I haven’t used 10/30 yet but I may next time

Front Driver's Side Blinker Not Working
87MJTIM replied to Cox's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
It should not affect your turn signal. Look at your fuse box. Do you have a blue or black box on the left side? If it is black, then the key buzzer was not active. See the eighth post in this thread: -
Front Driver's Side Blinker Not Working
87MJTIM replied to Cox's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
That’s the “hey dummy, you left your key in the ignition “ warning buzzer contact switch. Many people remove it without a problem -
BleepinJeep just posted a video on using Restore.

Museums and colonial history - Philadelphia or Boston. Williamsburg, VA is nice also. Jamestown and Norfolk are close. Richmond is close by, also. DC for museums, but I live close to DC and grew up just outside of DC. Don't like going there.

It depends on what interest you. Site seeing or history? I love Civil War history. I've been to a number of CW sites, but these are all mostly east of the Mississippi. I've been to both CO and HI. I want to go back to CO - western CO. I checked HI off my bucket list. When your son is older - 5 to 10 - amusements parks are great fun. Cedar Point in OH is great for roller coasters. Orlando FL has a park or two - $$. Get out a map and look for points of interest. Check the internet for things to see/do in those areas.

closed to open cooling system
87MJTIM replied to Maveric's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
One owner, 32 years, 4th reservoir bottle, lost count of the caps (purchased the Volvo cap - no problems). I purchased a bottle online once. C.R.A.P. Returned it and purchased one from NAPA. Mine has not overheated in years. Radiator is approx. 20 years old. While running it on hot days in stop-n-go traffic, the temp gauge does climb above the mid-point on the gauge. The REM shows engine temp getting up to ~220*F. The efan switch does not turn on until the engine gets to these higher temps. My mechanic has suggested that a radiator that old could have clogged/blocked fins. He recommends changing it. Since I will change the radiator, I want to do what Minuit suggest by cleaning up the engine bay of all the extra hoses. Open system here I come. -
1.Beatles 2. Beatles 3. Beatles I love all their music. I really like the early stuff. I mean the really early music: Anthology, BBC Recordings and the Star Club Hamburg tapes.

Get a plastic milk container or a 2 litre soda (pop for some people) bottle. Cut the bottom off the bottle. Put the long handle screw driver in to the pour end of the bottle. Now you have a "speaker" to listen for the sounds. Plus, you don't have to put your face close to the screw driver.

89 4.0 Climate Controls not working
87MJTIM replied to 89 MJ's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Can we get more info? Is the fan not working? Is AC not working? Is the heater not working (I don't know why you need heat in August)? -
Safest? 2nd driver, 2nd tow vehicle, two U-haul dollies. Pay for the gas and food for the 2nd driver.

What are the best rocker panel replacements?
87MJTIM replied to 1989 comanche mj's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
ZM Jeeps out of Toledo OH sells rocker panels. I picked up both sides at the York PA Jeep show for $40 each side, but that was a show price - no tax, no shipping. I have not had them installed, yet. I cannot vouch for the fit. BTW - do not order the MJ bed side panels!!!! The wheel well openings are not stamped for the flares. -
I believe it involved a vice and a BFH

1989 comanche 2wd to 1989 4wd
87MJTIM replied to Cday2165's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
The BA10 was installed from 87 to 89.5. It uses the 21 spline shafts. Halfway through 89, Jeep (Chrysler) switched to the AX15 with the 23 splines. I know this was true for all manual MJs and XJs for the years. I don't know if the YJs got BA10s for those years. A 4wd AX15 will require a 23 spline tcase. (The BA10 has the distinction of have the shortest use period for any Jeep as far back as '41.) -
I’m guessing it’s iDeal MSC6K single post lift

One connects to the transmission, the other goes to the transfer case (if you have 4wd).

In order to see what the computer sees, you should purchase a Renix Engine Monitor (REM) from www.nickintimedesign.com. This will let see how all the sensors are functioning/ or not functioning. Also, check out Cruiser’s Renix Tips at www.cruiser54.com. As for the bucking issues, does yours have a cat? How old is it? A clogged cat caused similar issues for me (although across the whole RPM range. Welcome to the addiction. Beautiful MJ. complete your signature: year, engine, transmission, any modifications made to it and your location. That way when people read your posts they can see what you have and where you are.

Does it start and run if you give it gas? if so, could be the IAC.

how many miles on your truck's factory engine?
87MJTIM replied to Pete M's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
60? Such a youngster. If you take care of it, it will last another 340k. -
