Hi there, new to the site and hopefully make new manche friends.. I'm from Dallas TX and have one of many questions, but as of right now, this is what I have that I can find an answer. I found a 88 Comanche from an old fellow, its in great shape. Rust free body and looks like its been a Texas truck its whole life. Well, its a 2.5, 4 speed, 2 wheel drive with 3.55 rear end. As many have done, I too want to convert to a 4x4. I found a 84 cherokee donor that had the 2.8 V6, (past owner got it for the motor for his comanche and placed his 2.5 in it) Also it came with the 5 speed 4x4 and from what i can tell counting the turns on the diff, I think it has 3.73 gears. Reason I say "I think" is because theres no ID tag on the diff as my manche, also I opened the rear diff and the number stamping is different from the Dana markings that Ive seen here on the site and google. Any of you guys recognize the numbers? I know that dividing the last two sets of numbers gives you the gear ratio, but in this case its the first two sets of numbers that leads me to 3.73. The numbers reads "11 41 603 03 01" No letters at all. I can't figure out yet how to load a pic to this post.. i will keep trying. Any input I would really appreciate.

hi my name is brad and I live in west palm beach fl (south florida) and I'm looking for a donor jeep Cherokee, it doesn't have to be running but at least fairly intact. I'm sure ya'll must be getting tired of hearing about all these guys converting their comanches to 4x4 but that's my plan. yes I know it would be much easier to just buy a Comanche that's already 4x4 but mine has sentimental value and unfortunately is only 2x4 . . that just the ways life is I guess. . anyways the parts I'm killing my self looking for individually are . . . . 5 SPEED 4x4 AX-15 (internal slave) NP231 / NP231j transfer case DANA 30 FRONT AXLE (I need to check my rear gear ratio .or use both axle from the donor) FRONT DRIVESHAFT any help would be really appreciated ive been working on getting my old truck (MY FIRST VEHICLE) back on the road for over a year now and have tons of new parts ready to go on including a brand new crated motor and I just want to get this out of the way first THANK yOU brad
