what upper control arms do i need replace my stock ones i have rough crountry 4.5 lift

Okay guys, you havent failed us with info so far, so here's another question. my son bought this 1990 4wd comanche with the 4.0l and Auto trans. It prett darn rusty but it only has 65,000 miles. So here the question, the part time light on the dash is on, even though it appears to be shifted into two wheel drive. is this possible, or is the truck stuck in 4wheel drive. Is the shifting into 4 wheel drive, mechanical or is it done via a solenoid that might be stuck. With all your experience I am sure that one of you must have been through this. Oh by the way when he bought it the light was not on. It came on after he shifted it into 4wd on the way home with it. Is there a specific procedure for how the truck is to be put in and out of 4 wheel drive/ Thanks for any insight you can provide.

You were right I have about three different O2 sockets or wrenches, and non of them would work, I had to resort to an old favorite of mine, a Vise Grips that has a piece of 1/2" ar stock welded onto the handle. it was slow but it got it out. Now that the new one is in and working, we still have an exhaust leak. It appear that the EGR tube is leaking where it threads into the exhaust Manifold. Anyody got any hints on that one? thanks for all of the replies and support

The previous owner of my sons Comanche with the 4.0L broke off the O2 sensor. Any idea on the best way to get it out and install the new one. also He needs to replace the speedo cable, any tricks on that one. by the way it is an auto trans.

I am hoping one of you comanchee addicts can help us out. My son has a 1990 2 wd comanchee with the 4.0L in a long bed version. This truck sat for a long time before he got it, and it was a real rust case. Any ways he got a notice to take it for an emissions test. He was told at the test that they could not test it cause the rear brakes are not working and they could not slow the truck down on the Dyno that the emissions people use here in Illinois. since then he has replaced many of the brake lines, put in new rear wheel cylinders, a new master cylinder and the proportion valve in the front. It has been bled has a rock hard pedal and seems to drive and stop great. He has now been back and they are still telling him that the rear brakes are not functioning properly. Is there something unique to this truck that he and I do not know about? The only thing he has not replaced is that rod thing on the rear axle that goes from the frame down to the rear axel. I do not even know what this does. Does it work like a proportioning vave? Can it be bypassed? Please let us know if you have experienced this or know what to do to get this bad boy back on the road. Thanks
