ZachsComanche Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Hey guys I'm Zach, I just recently bought an 86 comance x 2.8 originally but now i did a 3.4 crate swap 5spd 231 with SYE dana 35 with chrome molly shafts and a stock dana 30 front here it is stock more stuff to post when i get home (on my phone)
ZachsComanche Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 lifted 4.5 inches now just gotta figure whats squealing underneath, has anyone else had this problem? any help/ advice is appreciated
Exxon Valdez Jeep Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 motor squeel or suspension squeak?
Rymanrph Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I remember seeing that truck on Craigslist. Welcome to the club.
ZachsComanche Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 the noise its making is a metal against metal sound. putting it up on the lift today to check it out
SW86 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 haha, rebel flag headliner. just check everything you touched when you installed the lift and go over every steering and trac bar components
ZachsComanche Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 yea the headliner was there when i got it. its coming out when i get everything with the suspension and drivetrain done. replacing it with black headliner to match the interior.
hick92 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 i want that rebel flag headliner (alot cooler then whats in mine now it looks like some one got a little crazy with the beadazzaler)
ZachsComanche Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 bad rotors and a busted inner wheel bearing are the cause for the horrendous noise. so new hubs, rotors and brakes were installed just so i don't have to worry about anything else up front for a while (knock on wood) who sells some good extended brake lines for a decent price? need front and rear lines
ZachsComanche Posted September 18, 2011 Author Posted September 18, 2011 can anyone tell me what the stock gear ratio is for a 5spd 2.8l 4x4? or tell me if its labeled in the truck somewhere. trying to order some lower gears today
SW86 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 no clue on the gearing but i got Rough Country lines for 55 bucks for the front and i just bent my hardline in the rear.
ZachsComanche Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 got some skyjacker stainless steel brake lines, a bed toolbox, and a ford 8.8 for the rear, pics coming soon and also, my friends dad is selling his chrome moly axle shafts from his dana 30 with new super u joints to go with it for 300 bucks. would it be worth the money?
