My brake indicator light in the dash is always on. Where is the switch that closes to turn this light on? I have a 88, 4.0, 5spd Peugot, short bed with stock axles and drums.

MV that is interesting. I wonder what tank uses that short arm float for proper gauge readings. BLHTAZ I have done the sender without dropping the tank before. I used this opportunity to drop it and check to see if the rubber cone that is supposed to support the tank was in there somewhere. I looked and I did not have the rubber piece or the corresponding mounting plate as found in the Chilton's manual.

Alright I thought I would share what I learned. Unfortunately despite a valid effort by Wildman the unit I got from him did not work for me. The 18 gallon tank has the longer fuel float arm. The arm can not easily be moved. It is welded to the pivot point. This is by no means a step by step but just the key points. My leak was minor so I went about fixing it. A skilled metal worker took a look and pointed out that the plumbing on the sender is soldered on with what appears to be lead solder. Once that was realized, I was able to fix my fuel pump sweating the union just like I would copper pipe with some old 50% lead solder. It held a full tank of gas for the first time in years. The keys that I hope Wildman doesn't mind me sharing is the wiring. The wiring is held on by a 3/8" ID washer that has some teeth to it. I was surprised to find my local hardware store had these. I believe the o-ring is also 3/8". After replacing the o-ring and getting the washer in place I drove it on with a 1/2" deep well socket. I was afraid to do this work for fear of not being able to get a new sending unit if I somehow damaged it and regret not taking the leap earlier in doing what turned out to be an easy fix. The much harder part was getting the tank up and down.

I have been living with a leaky fuel pump assembly for years. Mine leaks where the tubes go through the disk. Up until now I have not seen the complete assembly with the disk where it attaches to the tank. Has anyone put a AFE7091S AIRTEX ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP assembly in there 4.0L short bed? http://www2.discountjpparts.com/parts/p ... mp&dp=true

Detroit Lake to Mt. Hood
skimore11 replied to goldtooth's topic in Adventure Planning / Regional Groups
That is a nice trip. If you want to test the 4wd take the trail under the power lines. I know you didn't take 2207 for this trip but be warned if the snow doesn't stop you the mudslide on 2207 will. From the Forest Service: A mudslide on a Forest Service road is blocking access between Little North Fork Road and French Creek Road. And officials with the Detroit Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest said it’s likely to stay that way for quite a while. The slide earlier this week is preventing through-travel on Road 2207 about three miles north of the French Creek Road intersection. The slide left nearly 300 feet of the road covered with mud and debris. The road is expected to remain blocked for several months and possibly longer as Forest Service crews wait for the slide area to stabilize and for suitable weather conditions to allow crews to get in to assess the needed repairs. The cause of the slide is unknown, although recent heavy rains and unstable soils are believed to be contributing factors. Visitors are encouraged to avoid the area around the slide because of safety concerns because of the potential for more slides. Contact: The Detroit Ranger District at (503) 854-3366. -

According to Google the number 1 country searching for Jeep + Comanche is .... Iraq. My only guess is our boys and girls in uniform are influencing that. I don't know if I trust it so here is the link so you can decide for yourself. http://www.google.com/insights/search/# ... lp=&cmpt=q Oh and if you search by city Phoenix is the number one location.

Instrument Cluster Question
skimore11 replied to djag12's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I didn't know there was a gauge cluster with oil and temp but no Tach. If that is what you have it should be a direct replacement. I didn't have the temp and oil so I needed the sending units for those. -
When mine does this I just put some pressure on the fuse panel with my foot and they come back on. The wiper timed through one of those relays similar to your blinkers. Something down there is loosened by the vibrations.

anybody ever try one of these
skimore11 replied to maddzz1's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I thought my pan was leaking from the drain plug. I added a new o ring and no change. Turns out there was a pin hole leak in the bottom of the pan. I would think a new o ring should be enough for most cases. -
Where did you get your fuel pump? I definitely don't want to buy mine there. I have been putting this one off for a while now.

Looks good my only concern would be reflection of the lights and the shadow created. Oh wait the stock lights are almost useless. Where is he going to mount the Off road lights?
