Comanchero

Yeah, 6 speed 7.3's are very hard to find. I looked for a long, long time before I found this one and it only had 50k on it. I like it so much it's turned into my daily driver. Surprisingly nimble for its size. Fast and handles well. I'm ordering a DP Tuner F5 chip today with stock, high idle, 60hp Tow, 80 hp Econo, and 120 hp Performance tunes programmed. Its very powerful the way it is, but now it will be a real beast!! Can't wait.................

Yes it does Pete!!! I finally sucked it up and got a truck that will tow the Comanche or my camper with ease. I kinda burned up the trans on the Dodge. In the end it wouldn't upshift by itself once it got warmed up and kept overheating the trans. I looked for the right Powerstroke for a long time and finally ran across this one so I jumped on it. '01 7.3 Diesel 6 spd 4x4 3.73 LS, 4" Banks Monster Exhaust and air intake. This thing hauls a$$ and gets 18-20 mpg daily driving. Drops to 16 towing the rig and I got 21.3 when I tried to conserve. Best ever with the Dodge was 14.9 conserving, 10 towing. Also sold that trailer you saw for $600 and bought this one for $300 with new tires on it so I'm happy all around. Here's the new setup.............. Image Not Found Image Not Found

Thanks to 89Tonto and Fat Boys Jeepers for hosting a nice lunch/get together at Haspin on Saturday. Nice group and lots of good food. We had a great time even with all the mud and wind. More Jeeps, Cherokees, and other 4x4's than I've ever seen there before. Plus the Halloween 100 ATV race was being held too! Main parking areas were pretty full so I made the mistake of driving "down" the road past the big ATV/bike track to park. That road became so muddy late in the day that I had to have Comanchegirl pull me and my F250 Quad Cab 4x4 Superduty and trailer back "up" the road with our Comanche. That was quite a site. The little engine that could comes to mind.

:lol: We had a great time again this year!! Thanks to attaboybob for leading us to some fun trails. We'll be back for sure..... Looking forward to some pics. Hope we can get a copy of the video that was taken too.

We're leaving Saturday around 5 am Ohio time. See ya there.

Trailering the Comanche over Saturday morning. Its a 4 hour trip for us. We'll be there when the gates open!! Sure wish gas was cheaper :( This will be my third trip to the Badlands this year..... That place is a blast!!!!

Never ending project and money pit.............. Image Not Found :D

I put '94 Cherokee buckets into my '88 bench seat Comanche. I used the mounting brackets from the bench and bolted them to the buckets. Just grind off the rivets and its an exact swap. Love sitting up higher, having the side support, and headrests too! I've bounced my head off the back window a couple of times.
