JeepcoMJ

I wouldn't say they work if they didn't, and my history here, unlike oyaji's, proves it. so, bottom line, you're too cheap to pay for one, and have not yet looked for the actual problem in yours, so it must not be as big of an issue as some here are trying to make it out to be.

there is not enough room to re-route any of that. If you went with no muffler, and straight piped, maybe. But it's been thought about, measured up, and tossed out before. that spare tire spot is useless for a spare, and, unless you're not aware of it yet, you will find that the tire winches rusted out and don't work.

NO. What's fair is not getting guy's hopes and dreams up without having FACTS that there is even a safety recall on the part. There isn't. That was for 1986. I just talked to my dealer. It does NOT apply to any other model year. What's fair is everyone pulling their own weight. What's fair is realizing that the vehicle is that old, and that parts wear down over time. it's not new. you are flat out out of your damn mind.

Umm, yeah, I mentioned driveshaft clearance in the 6th sentence of the original post. Thank you for your thoughts though. And I confirmed your concerns, and gave you the most viable solution for a single tank setup. A secondary tank would be best bet, as you have also noted. try an XJ tank in the rear spare tire area. would only work on a longbed, but you could get a second fuel door in it, and actually wire the xj sending unit up (if similar year to MJ) on a two position, 6 wire toggle to read on the factory gauge The 6 wire toggle would accommodate power to pump and sender, but you would need to consider running an appropriate pressure check valve on the outgoing side of the tank pressure hose to keep from backfeeding from the primary to secondary. Or just run a transfer pump.

Nope. $50 is more than fair. I'm a fair or nothing guy...hence the fact that everything else got scrapped.

You know, I've posted more than once that I have good parking brake assemblies for $50. two of them. You'd think that people who want to cry and whine this much about something would be able to pony up $50 shipped for something they just absolutely must have. But noooo....you're all cheap. Which, of course, is why I got rid of most all of my jeep parts, for free, to the scrap yard. I think I will probably go ahead and throw these in the scrap bucket. they're obviously not that important to people.

The team is only as good as their players, which includes second string. Good thing we re-signed Flynn, but I'm not impressed. and you're right, Rodgers is definitely a contender. too bad.

I'm not a fan of this, Don. Not at all. Turkey, yes My home state team getting spanked by them, no.

If you are not going to go read for yourself the link I posted for you that safety recalls have no time limit, kindly shut up and let people who want to use this forum for help in getting resolution of this issue continue without your interference. Thank you. LMFAO YOU ARE SPENDING MORE TIME TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING than it would to take to GO TO A JUNKYARD and GET A GOOD ONE. You have 405 posts. You don't own a Comanche. To my knowledge, you don't have ANY real experience with Comanche. You don't have a history on this site. You are trying to prove yourself in a fictitious display of wisdom on something you have know actual facts on. The information you are piling up is all relative. As-in, it matters if you can get someone at Chrysler to take a serious gander at the issue, and honor it, on something that is NOT a problem. There were roughly 250,000 comanches made, at a best guess, based off of the fact that they were built on the same assembly line as the Cherokee. There is no real solid information on that. Again, at best guess, I would imagine there are under 50,000 of them still on the road in the continental U.S. Of those 50,000 best guess on the road, if we look at the FACT that I have owned 29 comanches, and all 29 had functional pedal assemblies, with zero issues, ranging from 86 to 92 production date, we get down to the FACT that the safety recall, as stated, and dated, applies to the 86 model year. At that rate, we get to the FACT that you are doing nothing but blowing smoke on a recall that CAN'T be honored because the new parts DON'T exist, CAN'T be had, and WON'T be honored, because it would cost more to retool to reproduce them for the oh, under 1000 on the road that have the problem with a failed parking break pedal, than it would to either A.) say eff off, or B.) Tell you to try and take them to court. It would take their lawyers (who are on retainer) under a day to pour more money against the person with the claim than it would cost to retool to reproduce the part in question. YOU are not benefitting anyone. I am laying the grounds here for the FACT that of those of you with issues with your parking brake, you are going to need to band together and petition for the parts, as a group... and sue them for the parts, as a group We all know that similar issues have arisen, such as recalls on the KJ CRD, or damages ensued on work done by dealerships, which IS different than a safety recall, but similar in principle to getting Chrysler to do what is right. We should see from that, that the people with issues have utterly failed to band together and handle the issue. Realistically, there are probably under 20 people on this site in need of parking brake pedal assemblies. Of those 20, half are probably just jumping on the bandwagon and don't even use their parking brakes. My suggestion: Get off your lazy butts and go to a junkyard, or buy them from someone parting out their MJ. Oyaji, buy a Comanche, THEN start acting like you know something.

oyaji, Get the eff over yourself. you might get somewhere, but rather than sit and talk about it, prove it. Handle it, and get back to us. Until then, you really don't need to keep saying "it could be done" nothing can be done until it's proven that it can. The negativity is over the fact of the matter being that it's old, it's not a safety recall (maybe you should figure that one out) because, if it was, it would have been over more than the 1986 model year. BTW, I have owned 29 comanches in my life. NOT ONE had a bad parking brake pedal. This isn't a common issue.

go to a junkyard and take the time to pull one. it's going to be less of a headache.

I am as well. The outcome will be as I said. I just spent 4 weeks getting things taken care of on an 06 liberty diesel. went to dealer running funny. They honored the recall on fuel filter head, and replaced it. still running funny. ZERO further diagnosis, they simply took the head off. Had they stopped and actually looked, they would have seen 14 of 16 rockers had failed, 12 of which had 1/8" of play in rollers, 2 of which had seized rollers. the valves weren't opening, and cams were bad because of the two seized ones. threw away head gasket, which is necessary to easily determine necessary gasket thickness on a wet sleeve interference motor. told owner to come pick up apart, they wanted to wash hands of it. bypassing dealership, Chrysler's official response was "tough luck, we can't be bothered by this" owner sold it to his brother. brother brought it to me. We could fix the old motor, for the tune of $4800 in new parts with rockers, lash adjusters, cams, timing belt with tensioner, idlers, water pump, and we still would have to buy or rent timing tools, and replace all of the hoses and lines that the dealership lost or bent (turbo lines, injector lines, charge cooler hoses). Went to dealer. New reman motor is $5400 with $3000 core and 3 year warranty. Have them pull parts list from the guy in charge of Mopar crate engines. Supposed to come with ALL of those parts and more. literally drop in. shows up, bare bones longblock with valve cover, no timing, just lockout tools to keep @ TDC. no trans adapter, no timing covers, no injectors, no exhaust manifold, oil cooler, EGR, lines, intake elbow, throttle body, etc. etc. that is NOT what we bought. We bought with the understanding that it had all of those parts. Know what Chrysler's official response was? "tough, that's what you paid for". To return we would have to eat more than the difference of the cost, so we had to go with it. I got the dealership to honor some of the parts list, bypassing Chrysler. They gave me all of the expensive timing parts, glow plugs, gasket set, etc. for free. But that wasn't enough to cover the difference of labor costs. All in all, it was a bad deal. We got screwed, and the dealership helped, where Chryslers OFFICIAL RESPONSE is "tough" This has been repeated many, many times by CRD owners. This is a vehicle that isn't yet 10 years old. Good luck getting them to honor anything here. they won't.

tank between rails? driveshaft clearance. Once saw a diesel mj that had front section of bed floor cut out between frame rails and a 100-something gallon fuel tank dropped in, to clearance it for the driveshaft.

Actually, we can. And they don't cover the MJ for ANYTHING. Go out, tell a dealer you have a pinto and the gas tank has exploded. It's a known issue. Know what they will do? laugh at you. it's too old. Go out and tell a Yamaha dealer that your mint condition 1981 SRX with 300 miles has blown the bottom end. Know what they will do? laugh at you. Recalls have a shelf life and timeframe in which to act on them. That time has passed.

If you want this done, try a dealer, but they're going to tell you no. Then you're going to have to get on the phone with Chrysler direct to try and solve it, and they're going to say "no parts, no service, and there is no recall on your brake setup" because that is for 86 only. Chrysler has no records of MJ production numbers. It's laughable that anyone here thinks that there will be information on whether or not your MJ had the recall done to it, much less expect them to hold up to it. Try calling AMC. you'd have the same luck...they don't exist to say no.

I have dealt with Chrysler's warranty and recalls more than most. Whether they are liable or responsible for replacing parking brakes under a safety recall that is 27 years old DOES NOT MATTER. What matters is that they have deeper pockets with lawyers on retainer, and are going to tell you to shove it, because they know you drive a 20-something year old POS and don't have the money to get a lawyer to argue. and you'd lose anyways. Oyaji, I wager that you've never dealt with Chrysler. Don, want to place a bet? $.50 sound fair? I value the lack of foresight at that range.

There is no bet. You are wrong, they are not going to help. as far as Chrysler goes, the MJ was a bastard son they never wanted. That is why it's dead. Their official response on things they don't want to deal with is "tough". Try and warranty or get decent tech on a vehicle as new as an 05 liberty CRD. They don't cover sh*t for you and never will. sounds like you're on the free things bandwagon to me.

If you check my recent post in wanted, I'm looking for a clean longbed. no dents in cab or bed, zero rust (scratches/rust in scratches is fine). I don't even care if it has a motor or trans, don't care if 2x4 or 4x4, or if it's got junk roller axles under it. the tires can be flat or mismatched, and the rims can be junk. interior can be gutted or not....Just want a clean truck to build off of.

must be longbed. I have passed on clean shortbeds local. zero interest in them.

I just about had a hernia listening to this while reading your post. too good. Just. too. good.

Oyaji, you must be off your absolute rockers with some sort of liberal expectation of free sh*t. Here's the deal; Your truck is old. not a single MJ is younger than 20 years. Most cars that old don't have functional parking brakes, unless someone either A.) used them, or B.) replaced the parts associated that fail Most cars that old, have non-functional parking brakes because they DIDN'T get used. Seized and rusted parts as a result. Ever hear "don't pull the e-brake, it's old and they might seize" It's very simple. You are NOT going to get them to replace your e-brake pedal with a part that no longer is produced, on a vehicle that is past the life expectancy of it's original parking brakes anyways, especially since 99% of people don't use parking brakes anyways, and you cannot prove that the failure is due to use, or a lack of use, because you don't have all of the history on the vehicle. Get over it. You want your parking brake to work? pm me, paypal me $50, and I'll send you a complete known good freshly cleaned up and regreased and painted, but USED, with no warranty expressed or implied, parking break pedal assembly.

Jim, you know it would go to a good home, and pay for some of your habit. I can't find them that nice locally, and I really need one that nice to do things right.

Jim, I would like that truck. I really am looking for rust free. If you'd be interested in making a some money for your time of hauling it home, I would happily send the money to you right away and come out to pick it up in a month or so. Would love the chance to meet a legend.

I say you stop leaving it running and park it in gear, and realize the fact that NO ONE honors a recall on a 22-23 year old vehicle.

any chance you could link a bunch to me on here? I don't know Colorado that well and don't know the areas to look. Thanks!
