Okay so I looked up on older MJ's that the vent window or the small triangle window had a recall on the drivers side. I was wonder if anyone else has the same issue and how they fixed it. I was thinkin of just buying some extra rubber window liner to put on the edge and silicon.

Hey all, This is my first post here, so I figured I'd do a bit of an introduction as well. I'm located in western BC and I've got myself a '90 base Comanche 4.0, 5-speed, rwd for $800CAD, looking to do a lot of cool stuff with it, but need to get the main issues sorted first. I've fixed my tail light wiring, and done the headlight relay mod, which fixed my flickering headlights. I've noticed in the right lighting I can see smoke/fumes entering the cab from what seems to be low on the passenger side (below the dash) and possibly the ripped shift boot. After a bit of reading I went ahead and replaced the exhaust manifold, and added a flex joint in a new downpipe, with new gaskets all around. I noticed a stud had been snapped in the head, so I went ahead and drilled and tapped the hole larger. Also, the cat has been removed at some point. After this, nothing has changed. I'm still seeing and smelling fumes leaking into the cab. I noticed that I have a filter on top of the valve cover that leaks oil out onto the cover. Could this possibly be a source of the smoke? Everyone I've taken along to check it out has said the smoke smells more like oil than exhaust. The weird thing is, it only smokes under load. If I'm sitting in neutral at a light, I can rev it all day and not have any fumes come in, same with going downhill in gear. Going up hill is another story, it's at it's worst when on the gas in 3rd - 5th gears, especially going up hill. I'm at a loss here, as I've checked the whole exhaust system and can't find any leaks. The underside is a bit oily, but its nothing crazy, could I have possibly blown a seal that shoots oil onto the exhaust under load? Downpipe still looks clean too. Another thing I should note, I have almost no floor on the passenger side, which is on the list of things to fix. I've thought about repairing the floor and hoping for the best, but would rather fix the source of the problem instead of putting a band aid on it. Any input you might have would be GREATLY appreciated, as I love this lil truck and want to fix it up the way it deserves. Also, it makes first dates a bit embarrassing when the smoke starts rolling in lol Thanks!

Hello fellow members. As some may know I just got my jeep running and driving, and when I brought her back from a spin around the block I saw it was dripping some fluid I freaked out for half a second thinking it was oil, I checked all the spots oil could leak from and they where all dry. I took a second look and my manual steering box is leaking. at first i thought it was from the sector shaft seal where the pitman arm connects after talking to Lee but its leaking from the front of the steering box. How could I fix this up?

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 flares was the problem--and put everything back in. Today I went out to bleed the brakes and finish the job when I noticed that fluid was already coming out of the rear fitting again, without ever having depressed the brake pedal. The line is new again and the brake line fitting is new again. Could it be my distribution block (or is it called a front proportioning valve)? If something is gummed up, can I fix it so the double flare seats right again? Or do I need to find a replacement block? Maybe there some other answer? Appreciate everyone on this site. It's been a huge help.

I just purchased my first jeep an well I drove it home guy said no leaks I looked there was none to the naked eye. As soon as I pull in to car port. Low an behold a leak so I crawl under an notice it seems to be coming from where the tranny mates with the motor. Any ideas on how to fix this asap. Since I bought this Lil truck to be my work truck.

After heavy rains, there is water standing in my passenger floor board. I sat in the truck once and watched it come down the firewall from under the passenger side dash. Someone recommended that I take the grill off from under the windshield wipers and make sure the little drain hole isn't plugged up but dang if I could find any drain hole. Any other suggestions where this might be coming from? And I have a little surface rust on the floorboards. I've long since removed the carpet and padding and just have the sheetmetal showing. What can I coat that with to keep it from rusting?

I know somewhere on this forum it the info i need and have tried to find it without any luck. We too dads MJ up to the shop to get the ac running again.. Saturday we drove about an hour with the ac on after it rained and water started coming from the dash, The MJ has not leaked prior to refilling the ac so i dout its rain water leaking in. but i remember heading here that there was a little hose that allows the condensation from the ac through the firewall and to outside.. I just can't locate that tube to clean it...
