Thanks for the replies everyone. I will check into these items and report back.

Hello, I have the v6 with the 5 speed manual. I have had this truck for about a year now and besides the lack of power it ran descent. But it has developed a problem. It starts and idles fine but when driving, it will run fine for maybe 30 seconds or so then 5-6 seconds it will lose power then fine again for another 30-40 seconds and so on..... I'm thinking flakey ignition module but i'm trying to not just throw money at it. Any suggestions?

I have been lurking around here for a couple of months getting good info from old posts and such, now its time to start asking questions. I picked up an '86 Comanche X with the 2.8(soon to be 3.4) and I seem to have most of the bugs worked out of it except for the steering. It is very touchy compared to anything else I have driven before. I bought this from the back lot of a used auto place they were selling it as a parts truck. The previous owner had installed a 3" lift. From what I can tell the only parts that were installed were shocks, springs(aal in the back) and sway bar drop brackets. Now for the questions. #1 For a 3" lift do any other parts need to be changed other than the ones mentioned above. If so please list and possibly some sources for these parts. #2 What length trakbar is needed for a 3" lift so I can figure out if that was changed yet? #3 Where can I get extended sway bar links so I can get rid of the drop brackets and fit my factory skid plate where its supposed to be and not in the back yard? (don't need disconnects as i won't be doing any rock crawling or such just the occasional trip up in the woods for fire wood) You can tell the lift and the tires have been on for a while with no unusual wear pattern on the tread so I don't think the alignment is all that bad. Thanks in advance for any info. :chillin:

Hey Comanche Joe not sure how far your interested in driving for a longbox but there is a small used truck parts place in the reading pa area that has one off the truck already in pretty descent shape, he wants $150. :chillin:

More than one of us knows where your at. I used to live in Hamburg and right out of high school my mechanic buddy used to live on the third floor of that restaurant on the corner of old 22 and 143. It is a nice area up that way. :cheers:
