ComancheKid45 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 quote] whats a CKP or did you mean CPS? Yeah most of us refer to the crank sensor as a CPS, although CPS is usually referred to the Cam sensor... but either way yest, it was the crank sensor. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grills now 27 years old :nuts: lol I just wish it wasnt raining so much so I could put it on Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Finally replaced the tired stretched original MJ e-brake cables that didn't perform with the recent D44 axle install. I used new AC Delco flex cables and modded them to give me plenty of adjustment for the Ford Explorer disk internal e-brake. It's now a true emergency brake as it should be, not just for parking. Smoke tested by slamming it on at 50 MPH and it stopped quickly. Not locking the rear wheels, but was a nice controlled stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJRemi Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I swapped out all the shocks with KYB gas-a just shocks that I got from a wrecked 86. The shocks were only 6 mos. old so they are like new. I also installed the spare tire mount mechanism from the 86 since my cable was snapped. I swapped in my rotating receiver bar due to the 86 being a LB and the bar is much longer.

MJRemi Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I took apart the D44 drum brakes for a full inspection. I cleaned up all the hardware and installed new wheel cylinders. I have never worked on brakes before and putting it all back together correctly was a lesson in patience. I think Mike Rowe should work on brakes for his next Dirty Jobs episode. What a dusty, rusty mess. :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Reattached the transmission, put front wheels on it, pulled the front bumper, and attached the tow bar. Now, hopefully, in two weeks, I can clean out the bed, hook up to it, and haul it home. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenHawk Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Swapped out steering boxes. Ordered drop pitman arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCARENA Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Swapped out the back half of my bench seat for one with headrests. Used the original seat cover. I also put a couple of washers behind my steering stops so my tires won't rub on my lower control arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepcoma Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Replaced old seized fan clutch with a new thermal clutch. It spins! Replaced both u-joints on rear driveshaft. Used the cheapo Harbor Freight press thing and have to admit it worked pretty well. Was my first successful u-joint replacement (had some issues with the front d-shaft!) so I was pleased I was able to do it myself. Removed front d-shaft. Am trying to track down a high speed vibration and can't seem to find it. I've replaced nearly everything that moves. Maybe time to look at the tires again, maybe a weight detached :dunno: In for inspection either today or tomorrow, fingers crossed it passes with no drama :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2360 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Today I greased the nipples, replaced the rear bumper license plate light cover. Went to check the oil filter adapter to see what I need to replace the o rings. And this is what I saw, The oil filter gasket sticking out, Ummm, might be why I've been going through so much Mobil 1. I noticed also when I backed up the rear end squealed a bit, that can't be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2360 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Fram, that's Wal Mart's finest oil filter! I'm losing it, I missed the extra gasket. I sometimes wonder how my comanche made this far, :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2360 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The POR15 paint job didn't survive the winter to well. . . Repainted the bumper with flat black. The dark spots are where the paint hasn't quite dried. . . Cleaned a spare carpet with a rug shampoo machine, scary how dirty the water was after cleaning it. . . Looking a lot beter now. .
