CAD fix #1

[cruiser54]

lol and on that side note yes the pipe does hit the crossmember at times but only because I'm missing the clamp that slides into that rubber bushing on the crossmember, tans to crossmember mount is new.

 

Doesn't carnuck have you all lined out to repair that? 

[Blaine]

i don't believe so, he posted a great pic of what i need but hornbrod gave most info, i just needed to know where to ge that part and i'll be set, the site that was given had no picture and i don't want to order something that i have no idea what it looks like. right now some heavy gauge steel wool does the trick, no rattles

[cruiser54]

yea i just need to get that part and i'll be set, right now some heavy gauge steel wool does the trick, no rattles

Held in with duct tape? 

[Blaine]

nope took a few of pads of wool wrapped steel coat hanger wire around them to keep them together then wedged it between the crossmember and the pipe, the down pressure of the pipes keeps it in place. after so long it needs to be replaced but its a cheap and easy fix for now

 

and had to edit the last post srry

I HATE rattles and squeaks!!

[Blaine]

oh yea. luckily i don't got too many of them left THANK GOD, this jeep has gone through many modifications

[GirsMJ86]

Ya know, this has gotten WAY off topic and all this stuff should have actually been turned into it's own in the tech section.

[cruiser54]

I agree. We should be tossing stuff in here about Travelalls, Eagles, 33,000 pound trucks, and 914s. Forget talking about Comanches in any way, shape or form........

meh. :dunno:   it's mostly about CAD related stuff.  sorta.  as a forum we've certainly done worse hijacks . :yes:

 

but yes, a friendly reminder is good now and again.  :thumbsup:

sorry, I'm new and didnt know  :doh:

The part number I gave you is the correct exhaust bracket you need. But if you are happy with the steel wool and it works, go for it mate.

I'm pretty sure Blaine wants to fix it correctly. Perhaps he got confused/sidetracked with other folks posts muddying the waters when indeed all he needed was the part number from you.

and i appreciate all the help, and i do plan on fixing the right way

I found out today I need to do a CAD fix.

 

My question is: CAD cover: separate gasket or RTV?

It has a gasket. I re-used mine after cleaning it up and putting a thin coat of RTV on each side.

Where does the cad get its lubrication from? Do I need to fill it up with fluid at all and if so, where and which type?

From the front diff. Just top that off and you're good to go. 

[87MJTIM]

Ok, I finally did it.  That was too easy.

 

Two questions:

 

Why didn't I do this sooner?

 

Why did AMC make it this way?

[cruiser54]

!. Cuz you didn't know us before this.

 

2. Thought they were gonna save fuel. Didn't work.

Hey Pete M

 

I'm assuming you had to put some new oil back in your axle to replace the oil you lost when taking off the CAD cover.

Where do you do this?

You can, but so little is lost.

I'm about to attempt the CAD fix by adjusting the shift fork over and installing the cover update down. I see the vacuum lines I need to plug, but I also have what looks like a pigtail connector plugged into the cover on the left with a black and red wire. What is that for, and should I reattach it after flipping the cover? I can't attach pics from my phone,but the original pics in this thread show the same wires. Thanks.
