SatiricalHen Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Just had to ask. Yeah, I wish it was that simple, but unfortunately for me it is not.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatiricalHen Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Oh and I ordered it a new exhaust manifold last night. Sounds like mine has a decent sized leak and I had already tried welding it up once so I’m going to try the new route and see how it goes for it. Maybe I’ll get lucky and discover the intake wasn’t fully seated and fix my idle issue at the same time.

SatiricalHen Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 Replaced the exhaust manifold and the new one leaks worse than the old one. I think the flange on the new manifold is a little too thin so the washers don’t make great contact. I’ll probably try snugging the bolts some more and hope that fixes it, but even with that the new exhaust is much quieter without all the crappy leaking joints I put together (it was quick and meant to be temporary). I’ll never understand the desire to do exhaust with prebent stuff. Between the time and money I’d rather just take it to an exhaust shop. The guy down here did header to tailpipe for $125 mandrel bent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatiricalHen Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 So when I bought the truck it has a solid rear window, then I wrecked it and could only find sliding rear windows, well I got a solid rear window today. Not sure when I’ll get around to putting it in, but I also got some other goodies that I haven’t really seen before. Along with that I got most of a red interior, one tail light, and a Comanche badge that was before I got there and after.

SatiricalHen Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Nice! Welcome to the 21-slot club. I’m just temporarily in possession of it. I’m the middle man for a friend. I am still on the search for a black 10 slot grill to return it to factory, but it seems to be a difficult task to find one that isn’t broken.

SatiricalHen Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Haven’t done too much to the Comanche besides oil changes and some mild maintenance. I got a new lighter/more balanced rear driveshaft and that really helped the ride quality. Had it built at Carolina driveline, and I ordered a rear sway bar which is back ordered so we’ll see when it comes in. Unfortunately I spent most of my money on the Cherokee since the headgasket went. Built a 4.6 stroker and bought a cage for it so that was most of this year’s vehicle money.

SatiricalHen Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Finally sucked it up and just ordered a new 10 slot grill after not finding one for a good while. Also, decided to use the fog light panel with a second hole for my radio switch till I get an actual radio in the dash. So I put a radio delete panel in, plastic welded a new block off plate with no holes drilled in it on the right side of the wheel and put my fog lights and radio on factory switches on the left side of the wheel. Probably didn’t make much sense, but here’s the pictures.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatiricalHen Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Well it’s been a minute, finally got my sway bar in the mail and installed. Had to do some custom stuff to get it to fit, but it’s on there. Went to the junkyard today and got some goodiesNot sure what to do with them yet. Also, does anyone know what the latch should look like for a 3 pane slider. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
