Hello, my 1989 jeep Comanche long bed that I have, has been dealing with some drum issues going through inspection. I bought the jeep and and it already had what looked to be new shoes around 4 to 5mm of meat on both sides. The drums although I would say have seen better days. My question is, could...

Alright folks, where do I buy a new/refurbished/used stock proportioning valve (or distribution block according to some, but I'm unsure)? I've been trying to bleed my brakes for 2 days now but my front right will not bleed, albeit by gravity, vacuum, reverse bleeding, the works. I've read in a num... -
Ok guys, what is the best route in dealing with that height proportioning valve on my rear brakes. It nasty it’s rusty and i don’t know that it even works anymore like it should. I have a suspicion that it might be clogged. Does that ever happen? I say that because when I bleed the rear brakes the b... -
Hey guys, If it's needed: 1989 with old Renix 4.0 - stock dana 35 I am trying to do a WJ master cylinder / brake booster swap since the old one was rusted out with a leaky booster. In the process of installing it I accidentally crushed the proportioning valve when putting the...

While my Comanche was parked over the course of 2 days I almost completely lost my brakes. The rears are worse than the fronts. The fronts will lock up, I'm not sure the rears are working at all. Parking brake also doesn’t work anymore. Any ideas? It must be both rear brakes as it doesn’t pull while...

Hey guys I was instructed by @Pete M to write a new write on swapping disc brakes. This is my first write up and being one of the younger guys on the forum feel free to critic the write up. **You can easily do this swap in a few hours, given you have the tools and are handy.** First...

Had a caliper hang up on me yesterday so figured it was time to replace both as well as pads/rotors. Was going to use the duralast rebuilt calipers and gold pads/rotors, but does anyone have further recommendations? Also, while I'm doing the job, anything else i should look at maintenanc... -
So I've done a good bit of research and can't seem to find what swapping in a ZJ proportioning valve will look like. My plan is to swap to a '96 booster and MC from a ZJ, swap in a ford 8.8 (rear disc), and use the proportioning valve from the ZJ to delete the factory load sensing valve. Any info on...

I know there are many threads that explain this procedure but another won't hurt from someone elses experience. So, this weekend I am starting the dual diaphragm conversion on my 1989 MJ. To start off, here are the tools and equipment I have so far: 1996 XJ Brake Booster and Master Cylinder (bou... -
Hey guys/gals. So i started to build up my 87 Jeep MJ drum brakes and when i was tearing them down a few weeks ago, I noticed there were no parts inside except the driver side wheel cylinder. So I went to my local auto part store and ordered all that i could but am unsure of what all I need. Does an...

I could use some help. I did the WJ brake booster upgrade, but I had a leak at the back of the distribution block. Fluid was coming up out of the top of the rear fitting. Pulled everything out again, took a new set of lines to my mechanic--thinking maybe my lack of experience in making double fl... -
I recently finished doing an 8.8 SOA swap in my 1991 Jeep comanche Pioneer 4.0 manual. I need to do something about the brakes because they are seriously lacking in stopping power. Currently all I have done is eliminated the rear proportioning valve. I am going to swap in a 95/96 XJ brake booste...

I noticed a few days ago my brake lights have not been working for some reason. But I have taillights or running lights (whichever you prefer) and they are nice and bright. I have been over the sockets in the back before I had inspection a 6 months ago and cleaned them all up to make sure I was gett... -

I have a 1989 Jeep Comanche without ABS. It was originally 2-wheel drive, but I began the conversion process by swapping in a front axle from a 1993 Jeep Cherokee with ABS. After that was put and the system bled we went to test it and found we were without brakes. The pedal went to the floor. It... -
Hello, I have an 1988 jeep Comanche Eliminator used as a daily driver with an overheating brake problem. I just replaced the front disc with slotted rotors and new pads and also replaced the rear drum shoes to. The brakes work good until you go down hills. When going down hills I can start to f...

I HAVE A FORD 8.8 3.55 DISC BRAKES IN THE BACK. I'm LOOKING TO START ON THE FRONT ANY SIGGESTIONS ON A GOOD AXLE? -
OK - I know this horse was turned into glue long ago, but I just want to be sure: On the MJ distribution block, the port you plug to eliminate the rear height sensing valve is the one on the nose of the block, right? and the one on the bottom front is to be plumbed directly into the lines from t...

So I was attempting to do a simple brake job on a 2009 town and country for a friend and I could not believe how hard the back brakes were. The issue I was having was not being able to push the piston back in the caliper. I tried a C-clamp, prying it, loosening the bleeder screw then trying both aga...

I searched through 3 pages of stuff and didnt really find out what I exactly needed to know. I got a brake booster and master cylinder from a buddy that was parting out a 99 XJ. What all is entailed to swap it with the old crap in my 89?
