Comanche Fan

Comanche Fan (3/11)

  1. Just fought this on mine this past weekend.For me it was some oxidation on the fuse and where it plugs in. Used a bit of fine sandpaper to remove that and all is well again.
  2. I put red LEDs in my 88 for night time non-blinding, if ALL dash lights (and the one on the 4wd selector and the two tiny ones in the HVAC controls) are replaced the dimmer will not work, but if you leave one incandescent in there somewhere the dimmer will work, at least that's what I found on mine.
  3. How about the gas cap or filler neck sucking air?
  4. First thing I'd do is get it in your name unless you're willing to do all this work for nothing on your friends truck.
  5. Just a note: If you do order one of these make sure and get "The Cure for Jeeps" and not just "The Cure" unless you have upgraded to GM 1 ton components. Both are listed under Jeep parts on their site. NC Tom, I'll measure the right one when it comes and post up here or you can roll down the hill and have a look in person.
  6. Are these 74's or 37's, or a mix? And how many of each for instrument panel/heater control? Edit: Nevermind, figured out they're the same. Found a 10 pack on Amazon for 6.99 with free shipping.
  7. Looks like factory bucket seats, wish I was closer.
  8. How do those headlights work at actually projecting light? Seems to me they wouldn't do well. They look cool either way!
  9. I might show up a bit late if I get mine back from the shop tomorrow. How long are you guys going to be there??
  10. Please update with solution as I have this same problem, not necessarily after stall, but if truck is warm and restart. Only happens occasionally on mine, not predictable at all.
  11. Correct, PO welded tow hitch to original Comanche bumper mounts as well as to frame under bed so removing bumper mounts was out of question as I didn't want to lose tow hitch.
  12. I got the Fey for mine and also used the factory mounts, took a bit of persuasion to get to fit but worked out fine. Sure looks better than the rusted shell that I had.
  13. Well, I went over to the parents at 2am after reading Richasco's post, but that wasn't it. I think an easy way to test this without going through pulling the shifter would be to see if reverse lights come on with shifter in R, just to help folks in the future. I did it at 2am because I had a trailer sitting at my father in law's house waiting to pull it the next day and wanted to be sure before going through all that. Thanks for the help though, it was worth a shot.
  14. Sounds like I'm hoping for transfer case linkage (sounds cheapest). It happened at as a good a place as it could... I had just dropped off first of two deliveries and only had to go 1 block to second delivery and another two blocks to parents driveway so it won't get towed and I could get out of neighborhood of second delivery without having to back up. Then my wife brought me my car, I had to quit delivering but made it back to the store to get clocked out and made it home (straight shot up main road that had been scraped). Impulse, I may have shifted to second as it happened and have already gotten it out of 4 into 2. I'll have to go to the folks and see about the feel of the shifter, but it very well may have been just the shifter moving around and gears not engaging (that's what I suppose since I drove it with the stick in neutral). I'll check the transfer case linkage tomorrow, I've already put in for a day off at the full time so I can try to figure out what's going on and already had tomorrow night requested off from the part time pizza gig so I'll have all day to mess with it. Eagle, I'd be kinda nervous getting in to the transmission, is what you're describing fairly easy or pretty complicated (realigning the shift forks)? Why do you have 2 stuck if it's not too hard?? Not trying to be smart but trying to figure if that's beyond my wrenching skills. Would this be a good time to try to find a donor to grab a tranny and transfer case (the one with part time 4wd)? I've been thinking how nice that part time 4wd would be for a while now. Thanks for the help guys! Aaron
  15. So I'm stuck in gear, not sure if 2, 3 or 4, but was driving in 1st when happened. I was leaving a driveway in 4wd (snow and slush) got out of driveway fine and got out of subdivision on to main road where I tried to shift out of 4hi while in 1st before cutting wheels to turn. Bam truck lurched and died. Cranked with clutch in, put shifter in to 1, let out clutch and died. Burned lots of cluth to limp to my parents driveway and am now stuck. Any help appreciated. 1988 manual trans (pugeot) 4x4
