Hey fellas just wondering is anyone has the A Pillar Gauges mounted in their Jeep Comanche. looking to doue it if possible. I am wanting to put in a transmission temp, on board air psi, and i at the moment i can't remember what else to guage to put in. But if you can please post a pic of it i wanna see if i like it first (if there is one for the Jeeps!)

How's the engine coming along?

[codymanche]

Not good. With work lately I haven't been able to work on it. Me and my step father had a falling out so he didn't finish it. So now it's just the fact of getting it together and back in the truck. That's if I have everything. We took it apart almost a year and half ago. I don't remember anything. So I been calling around to see what it will cost to fix the truck. But the problem is no one will take the truck and fix it. And 4 wheel direct is only one who said they would but a quote of $4500-5000. Ouch! I can't seem to get anyone to help me out at all. Money is tight I mean extremely tight.

Just take your time. Sounds like all the right work is done on the engine already. So just slowly piece it back together, you can do it!

[codymanche]

My thing is I don't really know what I'm doing I wanna do it right you know.

Watch this series of videos, pretty good guide. You're already past much of his work but its worth a look. Lots of good tips.

[codymanche]

I started too for the tear down but his engine is newer then mine. Ima take what I can but I'm a pic by pic or video of some on actually doing work and I follow.

So last night I loaded what engine parts I had and took them to a friends house that start cleaning everything so we can get it back together. Hope I have everything. Sucks cuz I won't know till its too late or gonna put it back together.

Green Bay Packers?

[codymanche]

no it started out by getting the name of the john deere truck back home and my step dad who painted it to match the joke and since it was already painted i might as well go with it. so i guess john deere.

That green is too bright for green bay colors

[codymanche]

It's John Deere green from the John Deere dealership Or Home Depot and lowes in the rattle can. The quart I got was $20. First it was a joke but now it got serious I guess.

Use the stock Mopar 195F thermostat.

 

And your transmission is the 4 speed automatic Aisin Warner AW4

Dang thought I had an ax 15 for the longest time! Bummer. Are the ax 15 pretty common?
