I recently purchased an 87 Base with a 4.0 engine and Auto Trans. the Vin tells me this baby had a Manual transmission, but it now has an auto. Finally got the engine runing smooth and went to work on the brakes. Nobody seems to be able to supply me with the correct calipers for the Jeep. What the parts people come up with does not work, they sit to "high" (caliper piston is about 1/3 above the rotor) and the pin to attach it is too large to thread in.. BTW, I no longer have the origional calipers (I know - dumb) so I can't rebuild them. Any help of suggestions would be appreciated. . .Thanks

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 could be pumped up without leaking down, but after it was let off for a few seconds, it would again push straight to the floor. We found the proportioning valve was stuck, so it was replaced along with the weak, old master cylinder. The height-sensing system in the back was eliminated by running a new hard line. Also, the front axle was equipped with new calipers, rotors, pads, and flex-lines. I have yet to find any leaks, yet the pedal is just the same. Could it be the fact that I am running ABS calipers (which are a bit bigger) on a non-ABS system? Or is it something else??
