Bought my new to me 1987 4.0 Comanche. Pulled it into the garage after buying it and it pukes. Pulled it apart to discover that one of the plastic end tanks had split open. Looks like the previous owner had converted to the later open style system so I made sure to get a later model radiator. Got it in, apparently there's no provision for the aux fan temp sensor. No biggie since the previous owner bypassed it to a switch on the dash anyway.
So here's The issue. Coolant came out of the transmission cooler lines. I'm going to try and change the fluid but I've read you only really get half of the aw4 fluid from dropping the pan. I'm Just trying to figure out how to get back running without trashing a transmission that feels like it's nearing the end of it's life anyway. (Shifts don't feel great, doesn't move in first with my foot off the brake etc )
Thanks for any help!
