1986 Jeep Comanche


2.8 (Yuk) 904, command trac. I’m not sure in the axles


not sure on build Date, sticker was faded.


north central Kansas 

 

Currently sitting, I hope to part it out or make a crawler out of it, once I buy it.

 

Has a Leer Comanche-specific top, and aftermarket wheels similar to the Eliminator. 
also, the trans went out. Seems odd that the 2.8 outlasted the Torqueflite...

Do you know what the axle ratios/types are? If it has a D44 I’d love to swap it.

Depends, youll have to get under and look at the pumpkin. There is a metal tag on the diff that has an AMC part number and ratio. D35 ratios for 86 are 3.31, 3.54, 3.55, 4.1. D44 ratio is 4.09 and AMC 20 is 4.10. So itll just depend on what axle is under the truck.

 

This is all the ratios the catalog shows for the assemblies.

anything is better than 3.07s  :D   what size tires do you have?

 

also, you should add some truck details to your signature :L: 

I run a set of Thunderer Ranger tires in 235/75/R15s. The original size was 215/75/R15s, but these were a good deal, so, sue me.

 

Also, I added info to my signature, I guess I put it in the wrong place.

I know it’s late, but I was kept up thinking about this trucks color. Did the forest service ever purchase Comanches? The area code is apparently lost to time, so it could be a real possibility. I’ve just never seen another Comanche in this color. If it’s been repainted, they tore this whole thing down to do it. (Interior is green inside) it could also explain the nice motor but overall cheap package. (Column shift, bench seat, non-chrome steel wheels)

Did honey colored interiors have black steering columns across all years? I am changing the interior of an 87 from black to honey but am going to leave the steering column black but did not know that was the original MJ combo

It looks like the trucks equipped with the old Atari-style wheels had black column. The nicer ones with the brushed spoke wheels had the honey columns.

Well it was during AMC so anything I possible with them to save a quick buck. Wouldn't surprise me if a non painted column was cheaper to have and put in the low end models than the higher ends with a painted column.

My 87 and 88 are low end models with honey interiors and black non tilt columns

I know this topic has been dead for a while, but it’s now mine.. so to speak. I went in yesterday (yes I need to go to bed) and turns out the owner died of a heart attack and his sister wants to part with it… and cheap. So, anyone want any parts?

 

Also, the trim check digit is I? What would that stand for? Gov. Fleet sales maybe?
