Good looking truck you're starting with! Nice to see another one in KY. I think with the serial number they ran off the line along with the XJ so it's very possible your truck was 507614 while a XJ was 507613 & 507615, or that is what I read while doing the research on mine.

I live in Hazard in SE KY, I've been fishing in your area a few times is how I knew. Your location below your avatar says Land between the lakes. Beautiful part of the state!

i was wondering will someone let me know the reasons y a jeep comanche would pull ever so slightly to the right.it takes about 2-3 seconds before drifting and it is a slow right drift haha i was hoping its just the steering stabilizer but its probably a offset ball fix thing since i already had alignment and centered the wheel i do need a stabilizer though so hopefully that helps

We were out there bass fishing, there and Dale Hollow have some of the biggest I've ever seen.  If you don't have any vibrations and it's only slightly pulling then I would check the air pressure or see if the brake pad on that side is contacting the rotor slightly more than other side. Start simple and work from there.

new tires new track arm new tie rod extension or connector whatever its called haha on passenger side alignment I'm about to put a steering stabilizer on here couple rotors will need to be changed out when brakes are done.the driver ball joint needs replaced after about 20 thousand miles.brakes seem preety solid for now.I'm just gonna roll with it for now n hope it settles after brakes are done here in like half a year

I wouldn't drain the oil out and put it back in.  It's asking for trouble.  Change the filter a couple times instead, if you're worried about it.  The oil is going through it and it will catch whatever is in it.  You can cut the filter open and take a look at it if you're curious or worried about what might be in it.

 

IMHO once oil goes in the drain bucket it's only good for the furnace.

Run a good synthetic oil, or a diesel synthetic (such as Shell Rotella T6, not my first choice but some people swear by them) and just let it do its job.  It will slowly remove whatever might be deposited in the engine.  You do not want to add something to it that will suddenly cause all of the stuff that is stuck to things to come off, as that might cause the oil filter to plug, and either starve the engine, or have it bypass which will force contamination into the clean side of the oil system.

 

They make oil filter cutters specifically for the job.  They're kinda like a pipe cutter.  Normally not a lot of money.  Try an auto parts store or Speedway/Summit/Jegs.
