jroypdx Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Bought this Comanche Sport Truck today. I didn't even know black interior was a thing and it appears to have a leather seat. 4 cylinder and a 4 speed 2wd 170k miles Body is very straight. I'm digging it. High on the list is steering components, headliner and tail lights. We'll see where this goes. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

Welcome to the addiction. It's kinda neat I might fix it. Probably not. LolSent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 It was neat except the sun and heat here dried it up into a nasty pile of trash and leather. So I don’t feel that bad.
89 MJ Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Don’t forget to add it to the registry and check under the carpet for rust. Beautiful truck!

I've already looked under the truck and its solid. We don't have a ton of rust issues in Oregon. Barely any snow and they don't salt roads.
Pete M Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 any mj can rust under the carpet because any mj can leak rain into the cab. it's an all too common problem. love that interior!

When I have the flooring out to insulate and carpet it I'll find out. But it's clean on the bottom side of the floor.Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
jroypdx Posted October 14, 2019 Author Posted October 14, 2019 First Comanche upgrade. Had to fix the headliner so a quick trip to JoAnn Fabrics. Before it went in I figured why not throw some dynamat type stuff up there...Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
thecodemonk Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Nice! The damping material and headliner really make a huge difference to the feel of the truck while driving it. (It took driving in a hailstorm without a headliner for me to prioritize it on my truck....couldn't even hear myself think >.<).

Should be major improvement.Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
jroypdx Posted October 20, 2019 Author Posted October 20, 2019 Yarded out the old aftermarket cruise unit today.Also a question. Is the AC having this jumper normal for the wiring normal?Ok two questions. I'm pretty much making a hose work, but does anyone know a part # for the proper replacement here? It's a formed hose with a pretty tight bend and jumps from 5/8" to 3/4" right at the tstat housing.Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

jroypdx Posted October 20, 2019 Author Posted October 20, 2019 56004783- Mopar/AMC number(AMC number would have an 89 in front) Weird, it says the interchange is a gates hose that looks completely different.The Mopar OEM parts shows a photo that appears to be correct but it says doesn't fit my Jeep.I looked at the Gates hose at a parts store yesterday. Definitely wouldn't work.Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
JMO413 Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 I would guess the gates hose is a cut to fit. It should be there correct diameter in each end. The aftermarket does this allot to fit multiple applications.
jroypdx Posted October 20, 2019 Author Posted October 20, 2019 I think I found what's happening. Here's a breakdown of the 87 2.5 Different part # but also... Different tstat housing. Someone must've changed mine to a 4.0 housing. The port for that hose is supposed to point driver side. Mine points up. The hose I need is Mopar Part No.: 33002508 HOSE THERMOSTAT HOUSING TO INT Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 I agree with JMO. When I installed my AC I got a gates hose that went from the water pump to the heater valve and it was cut to fit and had the right bend in it to come from the water pump and go in-between the AC mount and cylinder head. Plus its extra length of hose to repair or replace any other worn out hoses.
eaglescout526 Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Oh dammit. I was looking at a 4.0 set up after I looked up a VIN last night. 33002508 or 32002708 will work. My bad for the confusion.
jroypdx Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Here's the solution.Dayco 87631 fit perfect with the 4.0 housing on the 2.5Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 So bizarre you have a 4.0 T-stat housing. Hey it works.
Pete M Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 that great news that there are alternatives out there.
jroypdx Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 So bizarre you have a 4.0 T-stat housing. Hey it works. I think the previous owner replaced a broken one. It's all sorts of shiny and new.Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
eaglescout526 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Paint it Chrysler or GM blue and it won’t look so odd
jroypdx Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 It'd be the only blue thing in there, it'd look very odd.Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
