Chico

Good eye Jaekl. Something does smell fishy. This looks like a job for Scooby-Dooby-doo........... I bet ya at the end the monster will be demasked and it'll end up being either an alien...or the FBI ...and he would have gotten away with it if it hadn't be from those dang meddling ComancheClub.com kids... :jump:

Maybe this should be in a sticky somewhere on the forum (or is it already)...pretty cool... I agree.

You know, I just took a magnifing glass to those pics. I changed my mind. I'll give him 4 grand unless he can come up with a better list of crap he's done.

So whats you High Bid gonna be Chico? What do you mean? What I think it'll go for. $7500. I'd pay 5 if I had the time to fly to Cali and make sure evrything he said was true. I'd never buy from Ebay without looking at it first. That's how I got stuck with my monster.

Thing is, I doubt any one on this forum would spend the amount of money that he wants. However, do you remember the one that sold a little while ago for 7 large on Ebay. That one was supposedly cherry and low mileage. I don't remember what it went for the second time it was on. But now listen. You figure you're gonna spend $1000 on buying a half decent Comanche in OK shape. They're all 20 years old. If nothing has been replaced you're gonna end up doing it all yourself like I'm doing. I've already spent 4-5 grand between truck and parts and I'm not even halfway done with the "restoration". So if you reeealy want a Comanche and don't feel like playing mechanic and this guy is being honest in his statement that this is the best Comanche on the planet originality wise, asking 5-6 grand is not outta the question. Now anything from there is whether or not people truly want to start fighting for this truck. It's got eight days left and there are already 19 bids which means a crapload of "lurkers" are watching. I see the bidding getting high. And to be honest from the tone of his description he sounds like he's talking to anyone on this forum which leads me to believe he's a member here. So if you're listening California Comanche Man. Come out with your hands up and give up the Comanche. Damn FBI and aliens....illegal or otherwise :rant:

$2650.00 19 bids...8days 10 hours left..... Let's go team... let's go I got a good idea.. Everyone start guessing what the final sale will be for. That is if he doesn't pull it first. I'm guessing $7500.

OK, thanks :thumbsup:

yeah, I think so JT. I'll see if I can find the JP article on it....

For those who don't, TMI stands for three mile island, our local nuclear powerplant that went to crap back in the late 70's and made everyone around here crazy. It's a good start definitely but you're right, it's a little bright. So now I'm thinking an orange like beater's pic and the bottom trim a light grey. Anybody up for it? I'm not asking for much am I? :D

Yeah, I thought the price was extremely reasonable.

That looks great! Thanks guys. Beater, what orange is that? By the way free pizza fer both of ya! :D

And I always thought she'd gotten rich from being a porn star :clapping:

I tried to download the program from Wade's post but for some reason my computer's not getting it. I'm trying to see what Kubota tractor orange or maybe a lighter shade would look like. Free lunch at the pizza shop to whoever get's it done. :D

Hey that's my ex-girlfriend. I always wondered where she got all that money :D

I think alot of people are using the equivalent from precision auto. You can get em on Ebay or search for it here. BLHTAZ has a post on it. I bought them.

Eagle, why do you recomend not using POR-15? What does everyone use to grind the rust down? (and could someone get me a picture of what it looks like?)

Ok guys, so we're all in basic agreement that due to the short distance in city driving I do we are basically right on the money for MPG in my situation. I'm not complaining because if I want to save on gas I'll just drive the 49cc scooter. I just wanted to make sure the truck is where it's supposed to be at mechanically. Anyway I didn't think the extremely large wing on the back or ground effects were going to add HP like the add said :rotfl2: One of these days I'll get on the turnpike and head out for a couple hours just to see what my highway mileage is. Oh and Hornbrod I can't remember off the top of my head what tooth count the speedo gear is. BLHTAZ got it for me and I'll check the post to let you know what it was. Thanks for all the replies guys :thumbsup:

I've read all the previous posts I could find. I have an 88 4.0 AW4 with 3.55 gears and I'm running 31x10.5x15 tires. The truck only gets driven twice a day. Four miles one way and four miles home. There are exactly three traffic lights between the four miles. The truck never sees over 40MPH. I've replaced all the sensors, injectors, filters, done a full tune up , put the correct speedo gear in, and even replaced the exhaust mani and gasket and down tube. When I bought the truck it did 10 mpg Now after everything has been changed I get 12-14MPG Here's my question. Is this normal, because if so I'll stop replacing parts? The engine does have 220,000 miles on it. I've read guys getting anything from 15-21 MPG. What do you guys think? Also, no wheels are draging due to brake problems.

I went to replace my parking brake cable today and after removing my bench seat and carpet found that the floor was a lot rustier than I thought. I actually have two small holes that were not holes until the metal that was in them left with my carpet. I read an earlier post that said someone put duct-tape over the holes after cleaning and prepping the rust and then applied POR-15 over the whole area . They said the POR-15 hardened the whole area well enough that no cutting or welding was neccesary. Here's my question. Do you guys think I can get away with the same move or should I cut out the whole area and weld new metal to it? I know the second option is better, but just wanted to know if the first one worked too. I will also be apllying the por-15 undercoating to the botom of the truck in the future. I'll post up pics of the rust damage later. The actual holes are smaller than a dime but the surounding area seems to also be weak.

I got my negative cable at Autozone, but now that I see how pretty Taz's are I might get them.

I personally think the cursing fixed it. Try that again next time. If not, a swift kick to the tire works wonders too :D Clean the terminals and take it to Autozone and have em check the battery.

It's all fun and games till someone gets an eyelash burnt off.

Change the battery. I was getting real heavy corrosion around my negative post. Changed the battery cable, used a felt pad and that gel they give you and I still get the corrosion. Oh and thanks Eagle, Now I'm going to check the alternator.
