I just made this group on Facebook. Not sure If I'm allowed to share on here but I haven't seen any info about them in one place. If you have one or have good info about one feel free to join and share. 

 

@Pete M maybe we could make a special section like the street comanches have for the diesels on here as well.

Have you come across any other members who own an original diesel MJ? The first MJ I was going to buy was a diesel one from a used car lot. Can’t remember why it didn’t work out but iirc I was looking for a short bed truck. Did they ever come with a short bed and the diesel option?

I know @Automan2164 had one, but hasn't been online in quite some time.


Rob still has his and it’s still clattering. He’s a wealth of knowledge on them too. Kinda wish he’d come back around here. :(
 

JeepcoMJ has connections with them too. Pat’s dad had one. Not sure if it’s still in the family or not.

So mine is a Cherokee (not  a Comanche) but I have a 1986 XJ with a 2.1 td (Renault J8S814). I'll probably be hanging around for a bit of advice. I had a Renault with this engine in it back in the early 80's. Also a whole bunch of Benz W115 and W123 diesels (10 if I'm counting correctly over about 25 years). But when I saw I could have 4WD, 5 speed manual turbodiesel I was hooked. The unibody is solid, but I need to flip or replace the starter ring gear. I also have an early diaphragm pump and if anyone knows about the swap to the rotary style.... 

 

Well you get the idea. There will be some questions.

And yes, I saw DEVO at the Punch and Judy Theater when they first hit the airwaves.

Nope. The diesel option was only ‘86 for the Comanche. Short beds came along in ‘87. 

 

I swear I've read that the 2.1 survived as an option into part of 87  :thinking:  maybe just export?

That someone would be me :L:

That reminds me of Dean Wormer in "Animal House" who said notably.... "someone has put their foot down, and that foot is me."
