codymanche Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Got the motor put in with the mounts and fly wheel on. Went to put the transmission in and guess what no inspection plates and transmission bolts are to be found!!!! So i have to get those before we go any farther!! But my cherokee donor of course has them but the problem is that is a lot of work for some plates and bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relyt120 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 If you are planning to make ur truck 4wd u will need to use the donor's tranny so getting the bolts should be a non issue for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codymanche Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 kinda an old post but did you notice any significant difference with rustys throttle spacer? the answer is still unknown to that. i ended up taking it off due to the linkage being short i didn't realize that you end up having to cut your linkage in half. i have the extra one that i will cut and try to make work but ill get pics up on that for sure when the truck is running for good. right now my goal is to get it running. i worked on this weekend and we grabbed a piece of wire and bypassed the starter to her the engine turn over she sounds mean. thats all we got tho the cranck sensor i still gotta get in. hopefully she will be good to go soon.

codymanche Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well today I found more grounds a couple more things to plug in like the fuel pump. Also found out I have a fuel leak in the fuel rail. Up front it sprayed everywhere. Does anyone know what this could be from and my next question how do u fix it? Still have some issues with the rear drive line. Doesn't seem to wanna go on. I get a couple cm's and then it stops. I wanna take a hammer to it so bad. Got the transmission lines in and cooler mounts. I also installed my freshly bedlined stock bumper. Looks good to be honest. Installed a new "wash fluid tank" it's got 2 motors my old one had only one! I wonder why? So I just plugged the other one for now. Also got the hood back on. Also installed the crank position sensor. Still no luck on starting from key or at all. All my grounds are on and tight. So I'm stuck on what to do next. My buddy thinks it could be the computer from the 1989 jeep Cherokee and doesn't think it will won't on the Comanche. I'll post pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
