Oh, you're serious?

There were 2,970 '92 Comanches made. 1,244 were 4x4, and LWB/SWB numbers are unknown.

I probably put the window one in the power seat slot when I tested it, because I don't have power seats, and I don't see why they would put a fuse in there when it wouldn't be used.
Those fuses can be tricky. Not the easiest to reach, and in the case of mine, the guide in the owners manual was wrong. I ended up blowing one of my trailer light fuses, and pulled out a "spare" from a slot marked unused. That "unused" fuse powered the transmission range sensor and AC clutch relay. Suddenly lost my AC and tripped the CEL. All was better when I was able to make it to the store and pickup more fuses.

Drained tranny and fixed leak in tranny cooler lines. Refilled.

Drained power steering. refilled.

Removed old POS skyjacker 3" leaf pack.

Installed omix-ada axle bumper x2.

Installed one Rubicon Express 3.5" leaf pack. Got frustrated with 2nd RE leaf pack and called it quits. Ordered break line extension.

Will disconnect rear brake lines, lower axle further and resume installation of leaf pack upon delivery of brake line extension.

Coming back from the desert today, a buddy & I pulled into a parking lot right before we were going to go our separate ways. Just before I did, I happened to notice a large spot of oil under my Jeep, about as big as a paper plate. I told him, "Huh. I happened to park right on top of a nasty spot of oil!" He crawled underneath and said, "Start your engine." I did and quickly got a "TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!" Yup, it was me.



At first, we thought it was coming from the oil filter. Which made sense. I had just changed the oil & filter right before I headed out to the desert. I tried the Mobil 1 301 extended capacity and maybe I screwed something up. But as we were looking at it, we saw a drop or two come out of the oil sender! I have been meaning on replace it for awhile because my gauge was reading all wonky. But now it's leaking and it's leaking good.

My buddy was good enough to give me a ride to the nearest Napa, which was about 15 miles away. I also bought 4 quarts of oil since the dipstick was completely dry! (Remember, I had just changed my oil 2 days ago!) The swap went quickly and easily. I poured in one quart. Didn't even register. Poured in another one. Nope. Poured in ANOTHER one! Holy crap! Finally something showed up on the stick! Poured in one more. Came up to halfway between "safe" and "add". Since my temp gauge is non-functioning, I had no idea if I was running hot or whatever!

Made it home just fine. Thinking of draining and straining the oil and seeing if I find chunks of metal. I had Rotella T6 in there originally, but put in Valvoline 10/40 to get her home.
