- This is a 1986 Jeep Comanche MJ. 2.5L 4 Speed 4wd Long Bed
I bought it from KyleSVT: / @kylesvt

In this video, I'll take an introductory look at this thing, and fail to:
-Swap the instrument cluster
-Replace the spark plugs
-Fix a brake line
-Do anything about the mice living in the glove box
-Swap the oil and temperature sending units
The first few projects didn't go so well, but in the next video things do start looking up: • 1986 Jeep Comanche - E...
I bought this truck during Operation Otherside, so that's technically episode 1: • Driving across Ohio, M...
"It's like, this thing doesn't want to get fixed!" Oh, man; how we, XJ/MJ owners, can relate to that :D
I was wondering what makes your videos so nice to watch; I think I found the answer: they all are very RELATABLE to other Jeep owners :)
(I'm commenting to almost all your videos to positively influence the youtube algorithm; you deserve so much more viewers and subscribers!)
Was fun working on the truck again. The ending of this video was perfect LOL
I used to own a 1980 chevy luv it was a Lil Japanese 4 speed 4 cylinder truck just like this one and it was soo much fun to put around town in but the highway was terrifying
That cluster swap went as well for you as it did for me. I’ve swapped the 2 gauge one back in when I hit the speedometer cable issue. I picked up a universal cable from Autozone but it used a different connector to the transfer case. The sensor swap did allow for readings to the oil/temp gauge at least.
I see you ARE back in Wisconsin! Very entertaining as always. I just gotta ask the question, aren't ALL your vehicles winter beaters? Come on back to the plastics place. I'll be the only one there you recognize. 😛 Willard.
Waemid is gonna get the plague ride sharing with those mice 😬😬
They've already despawned, I don't know where they went but a few days after I found them they either all died or ran away
Holy shit man the fucking mice just chilling in the glove box while you're there I can't lmao. Have seen nests in vehicles before, but never them just chilling there except in one Toyota in a field.
yeah they were totally chill. I drove them to Milwaukee and dropped some off at Kyle's house. Then a cat Nobody had ever seen before appeared and ate them. The ones that stayed in my truck have since despawned
8:05 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ok. So I’m 99% sure your fuel gauge wasn’t working in your full cluster, due to a different ohms rating on the fuel level sending unit. It cheges from 86 to 87 years. My 86’ XJ is a ratio of 00-90 ohms if I’m not mistaken. 00 being empty, and 90 being full. I had to Jerry rig an aftermarket one in the tank, because they no longer make one for that year, and of that ohms rating.
I see, that makes sense. Yet another 86 model year moment
Diesel swap it lol. But Comanches are cool, I miss mine
Does your ‘86 fuel guage slosh back and forth? Mine does 😁
It does not, does yours have the 2.8L? If so, that might be why. The carburetors required a bit of a different fuel pump
It was a 2.8 (now 3.4). I guess your 4 cyl had an electric pump in the tank. I’ve never worked on or owned a 4 cyl Jeep so you might be onto something. My tank is a repro from Rock Auto and definitely has no baffling.
@Gearsandoil Yeah the 2.5 uses an electric fuel pump. That's gotta be what the difference is
I drove a carbureted YJ with a fuel gauge that bounced around, I guess the electronic ones don't do that
12:50 noones gunna know.... how would they know??... 🤔😏
