Trapn6.0 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Update? Or more pics. Not to hijack but how many diesel mjs were produced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyblack86 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 I've been gathering parts both body and motor in anticipation of some milder weather to get back into it. Nothing of consequence to report just now. I read that a little over 190,000 MJ were built. I have not seen a diesel production number in print but I have heard from a few others that there were about 70 sold? If anyone can verify or correct that number, please come forward. A few guys in the Club have given me some great tips and insights on this motor and I am eternally grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdiesel Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I own a white 86 comanche 2.1 and have been working on it since last September. doing an engine is a real bear finding parts. I have looked world wide for parts and still haven't found new pistons or liners. they can be lmade to order in China but they require minimum of 600 pieces. There are new heads avaail in China. so far, no one in USA can make custom pistons except to machine them out of a solid piece of Aluminum. You will probably fine your exhaust manifold cracked in the middle. I have made up replaceable cam belt idlers s the OEM ones are rediculously expensive because of how they are made. Also, i had to machine up a special puller to remove the piston liners. It took about 20,000 lbs of tension to pull the liners out as they were stuck in the block. i also had to EDM out a broken off head bolt---cost was $160.00 and I could go on and on. Many parts ordered that were coaimed to fit the diesel--didn't fit such as hoses, motor mounts etc, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Bucket list Jeep, rarer than an MA or even a Bantam prototype. Would love to see solid production numbers confirmed from Jeep,,,,probably doesn't exist now since it was AMC though. What other vehicles received the Renault 2.1? Any Euro cars that could be donors?

Babyblack86 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hey automan2164. I've got some pics here of the throttle cable and the actuator that is disconnected. The cable for the cruise is cut too. Under that is another plunger type actuator that is seized up. WAS seized up. We sprayed it with oil and worked it with a small bar to free it. The coolant lines that led to it were also bypassed for some reason. We hooked everything up and got the motor warm. It stops, starts and runs beautiful when warm but a cold start only happens after the block heater is plugged in for 20 minutes. The relays for the glow plugs click on and there is current yet the lights on the dash are not working and the glow plugs do not seem to be operating. Have you had this problem in the past? (This is part of a forwarded message to Terry at Winnebago). THANKS!

Having trouble with cold starts. There is an actuator on throttle control that is disconnected. Below that is another that is froze up. Will not move at all . Any ideas? Mike Barrett 609-412-5935.

Babyblack86 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Replaced the front shocks and brake lines yesterday. Need a pair of stock height shocks for the rear. I ordered 4" lift shocks for all around before I realized that the lift in the back was achieved by flipping the leaf hanger to the top of the axle. Now my new extended shocks are too long! Oh well. Guess "measure twice and cut/buy shocks once" applies here as well as in wood working. The front lift is a home made beef up with what looks like Ford springs a few other swap meet parts. That's fine. Everything is nice and tight. Headed for Youngstown, OH first thing on Monday morning to pick up a replacement bed. The parts runner is trailered up & ready to go. Anyone need anything hauled between A.C. NJ and Ohio? There's room on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babyblack86 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Keep an eye on this posting. If my frickin nerves get too jangled with this one I'll sell you the entire kit n' kaboodle. I normally don't buy them with this much rot but like you said, there ain't a lot of them to pick from. Some fresh pics are coming as soon as my Photo Pal has a chance to post them.

Babyblack86 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Picked up a decent replacement bed from a member in Ohio a few weeks ago. THANK YOU MR. W! The horrified look on my face is what the toll taker saw on the Pa Turnpike when I was presented with the $50.50 toll bill. 350 miles one way. Found a cheaper way home to avoid tolls. Got the rotten bed ripped off and was surprised at how clean the frame rails were. The donor bed had some old dent repairs and Bondo on the drivers side that had to be torn out and redone. The cab corners are rebuilt and the floor pan is replaced. Now to attack the wiring mess in the dash. Nothing works accept the digital clock. Go figure.
