cruiser54 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirsMJ86 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 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........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are happy with the steel wool and it works, go for it mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he got confused/sidetracked with other folks posts muddying the waters when indeed all he needed was the part number from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillithium Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 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?

87MJTIM Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Rob Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch_Stanton Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 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.
