Rebelfish99 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Well, because of my shoulder injury I can't drive my Deuce and a half so I decided to sell it and ended up trading someone here locally for a 1986 Turbo Diesel MJ. It only has 144K miles on it, NO RUST!!! and is in all around great shape, everything is original except the gear shifter, AM radio still works! and it still looks great on the inside. I've been driving it around for about a week now and I'm still on 3/4 of a tank. Great gas milage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeFan01 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Sweet man, looks like you got a nice new ride there. I would love to get my hands on one of those someday. :clapping: Any plans on upgrades/mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelfish99 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Sweet man, looks like you got a nice new ride there. I would love to get my hands on one of those someday. :clapping: Any plans on upgrades/mods? Gonna keep it completly stock. The diesel does get about 40 mpg highway and 35 around town, and I don't wanna ruin that with a lift. Plus it really doesn't have any get up and go, its very slow so a lift wouldn't help even with the stock 4.10 gears. But I think I might put a CB in it and my toolbox in the bed.

MJ is dead Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 :no: The terms and conditions of joining CC said "anyone who owns a TD comanche must share it with the rest of the club" Really. Its in there, its just in really small font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 this brings the tally of comanche diesels (factory) in the states up to 25. I own one, though it's not as nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm curious as to who instigated the trade. you or him? Oh, and pull up the carpet and check for, well, you know who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfpdm Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 It's about time you posted that up. Should be a lot easier to park than the duece. :D May have to come by and take a look at some rare Comanche history. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 She's a beauty. Crazy how a 20+ year old pick up truck can get 40mpg, yet today they can hardly squeek out 20mpg in todays trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy how a 20+ year old pick up truck can get 40mpg, yet today they can hardly squeek out 20mpg in todays trucks. true, but a newer truck getting 20mpg probably won't break as much. there is NOTHING worse than a renault 2.1 for maintaining. I'd venture to say that a 2.8 is more reliable than a 2.1 (this coming from someone who has been around both, and who fell in love with comanches because of my dad's 2.1 turbo mj) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1tonMJ Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Sweet. I would replace the parts for new, but keep it tuned to stock. Or just bump up the HP just a little. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelfish99 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 i already pulled up the carpet and absolutely NO RUST. not even surface spots. And yes its A LOT easier to park than my deuce. I just called the guy and asked him if he wanted a Deuce and he said sure, so title for title we traded. Except today I blew an oil hose while sitting in traffic so I got it parked right now and driving my other MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 sweet deal, diesels rock. Just spent all day presenting my diesel vs SVO emissions data for my senior design project, then went out and poured some SVO into my tank and drove home. Getting 24.5 MPG @ 80 MPH in a diesel jeep is what its all about. Ya, diesels rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
