Beater of the Day: 1988 Jeep Comanche - Autoblog (blog)

This '88 Comanche's got it all: "Anti-theft-grey" paint, one mismatched (and dented) door, custom "OUCH" spray-paint graphic on one side, Batman decal on the other, and a dog that hates riding in it. The ergonomics are lousy, the French cooling... The owner, Cheep Jeep Chaz, calls it "nicely broken-in. " We call it today's Beater Ride of the Day. They are, almost by definition, to be beaten on. Anyways, for your approval I submit this nicely broken in 1988 Jeep Comanche finished in a lovely shade of anti-theft grey fade-o-matic paint. The superstructure of these babies is odd, as the Comanches were basically unibodies carved up from the Cherokee. Ergonomics are non-existent and the cabin so cramped and uncomfortable that even my Redbone Hound hates riding in the thing. Imagine: a pick-up truck hating Hound Dog. The truck is great fun to drive, even though no one, and I mean NO ONE, will cut you a break in traffic. It might have something to do with the oil leaking onto the exhaust manifold and subsequent smoke. I'm sorry that Jeep has retired this semi-torque-y motor, despite being the Earth's last living dinosaur. Source: www.autoblog.com

From homeless to home for the holidays - SFGate

Paul Gowins and his wife Rion visit with their 1988 Jeep Comanche in Millbrae, Calif. The couple, who've been married for 43 years, have regained their financial footing after living out of the truck during a period of homelessness. (caption info for large photo) Paul Gowins and his wife Rion are seen at their apartment in Millbrae, Calif. The couple, who've been married for 43 years, have regained their financial footing after living out of their Jeep Comanche during a period of homelessness. Paul Gowins was just trying to help his daughter. Gowins, a multimedia producer who had just finished an informational video about methamphetamine for the Tucson Police Department , dipped into his savings in 2010 to help his daughter join him and his wife, Rion, in East Palo Alto. In addition to her daughter, she showed up with a boyfriend and her daughter’s beau. “We ended up renting two apartments,” Gowins said. Paul and Rion, a paralegal, used their savings to pay three rents totaling $4,200 a month: their own, their daughter’s and their granddaughter’s. The deal was that Paul and Rion would cover the rent until his daughter could get over her drug addiction, get a job and take over the payments herself. Source: www.sfgate.com

Truck thief calls police for help after running out of gas - WRCB-TV

Tunnel Hill Police had an unusually easy time tracking down a truck thief Monday morning. After running out of gas, the man called the cops to come help him out. When 32-year-old Chet Wilcox was stranded near the Tunnel Hill exit off I-75, he did what most people do. He called for help. His call for help was to police, though -- and he was driving a stolen truck. I'll be at the gas station in Tunnel Hill," Wilcox's message said. "That's totally abnormal," said Tunnel Hill Lt. Scott Reneau. Come get me'. ". Reneau initially thought it was a joke, but confirmed the story through authorities in Union County, Georgia, where a man who claimed to be acquainted with Wilcox reported the truck stolen the night before. The 1988 jeep Comanche was parked in a barn with the keys inside. So we go from having a laugh to actually having to get serious," said Reneau. Wilcox said he stole the truck because he wanted to visit "loved ones. " Reneau said he also wanted the owner to know where to find his stolen truck -- before Wilcox was booked into jail. "Hey, if you're a crook, feel free to call 911 or turn yourself in," Reneau said. Source: www.wrcbtv.com

  The Jeep Comanche (designated MJ) is a pickup truck variant of the Cherokee compact SUV (1984–1996)[3]) manufactured and marketed by Jeep for model years 1985-1992 in rear wheel (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) models as well as two cargo bed lengths: six-feet (1.83 metres) and seven-feet (2.13 metres).

  During the mid-1980s, according to AMC chairman W. Paul Tippett Jr.: "People are finding trucks a reasonable and sophisticated alternative to cars."[4] To satisfy the demand and to compete with Japanese competitors, both AMC and Chrysler were preparing pickups for the 1986 and 1987 model years (respectively).[4] Also at this time the financial health of AMC was poor and the automaker was in need of cash as it was preparing a new line of midsize vehicles (the Eagle Premier) scheduled to be produced at a factory being built in Canada (Brampton Assembly), but the best thing the company had going for it was its popular line of Jeeps and introducing a compact Jeep pickup truck in the fall of 1985 was expected to help.[5]

  The Jeep Comanche was introduced in mid-August 1985, at a lavish event staged at the ballroom of the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (currently Bally's Las Vegas) for AMC's over 1,500 North American dealers.[6] American Motors included Chinese officials as part of the negotiations establishing Beijing Jeep (now Beijing Benz). The goal was to produce and sell Comanches in China through this joint venture.[6]

  The new trucks were unveiled by Jose Dedeurwaerder, an engineer and international business executive with 23 years of experience with Renault, and now appointed as AMC's new president. The base price of the two-wheel drive model was $7,049 (adjusted only for inflation equal to US$15,457 in 2015 dollars[7]), making it the lowest priced Jeep model for the 1986 model year.[8]

  American Motors' Jeep designers based the Comanche MJ body, styling, engineering, and drivetrain on the Cherokee XJ, which had been introduced for the 1984 model year.[3] The Comanche had a more conventional removable cargo box and conventional body-frame design. The Rabbit Pickup (Caddy) and Dodge Rampage are technically coupe utilities, not trucks, since the cargo bed is an integral part of the body structure and not removable.[citation needed]

  AMC's Jeep engineering staff designed a rail "frame" structure to support the cargo box that was unitized with the front passenger section of a four-door XJ Cherokee. Two cargo bed lengths were used; one for the seven-foot long-bed model, which appeared first in 1985, and a second, shorter version for the six-foot cargo bed, which debuted for the 1987 model year. The "frame" structure (called a "Uniframe" by Jeep) was made up like unitized car body main supports - from stamped sheet metal components spot welded together. For strength, the rails were over eight inches deep (top to bottom), much deeper than conventional midsize truck frames (1983 Jeep J-10 fulls size truck frame is 6.75 inches at the deepest point). This structure was pioneered by AMC for the 1971 "Cowboy" compact pickup prototype.

  From 1985 to 1987, the Jeep Comanche grille had ten slots in a similar configuration to the 1984-1987 Cherokee XJ, while from 1988 to 1992, this configuration changed to eight slots to match with the SUV.[9] A new "4x4" badge, similar to those found on the Cherokee and Wagoneer models, was affixed to the upper rear of the cargo box on all the four-wheel drive models.[1]

  After the Chrysler buyout of American Motors for $1.5 billion on March 9, 1987, designed to capture "the highly profitable Jeep vehicles ... and 1,400 additional dealers"[10] the Jeep Comanche, like the similar Cherokee, received only minor changes. These were primarily to improve reliability and parts interchangeability with other Chrysler-built vehicles.

  Suspension[edit] Jeep Comanche Chief with aftermarket modifications

  The Comanche uses the compact XJ Cherokee's front suspension, with coil springs and upper and lower control arms. The Cherokee and Comanche were the first Jeeps to use this new "Quadra-Link" suspension. It was argued that the coil springs allowed for greater ride comfort and axle articulation during off-road excursions. A track bar (Panhard rod) is used to keep the axle centered under the truck. Modified versions of this same basic suspension system were later used on the 1993-2004 Grand Cherokee, 1997 and newer TJ Wranglers and 1994 and newer Dodge Rams.

  For the rear suspension, the truck uses leaf springs that are considerably longer than the Cherokee's, which give Comanches good load-carrying capacity without creating a hard ride. The standard rear axle is the same Dana 35 used in the Cherokee, except that the Comanche mounts the leaf springs underneath the axle, as do most other trucks, and the Cherokee mounts them on top of the axle. There was also a heavy duty "Big Ton" package (known as the "Metric Ton" package outside the U.S.) for the long-bed models. The package included heavier-duty leaf springs and wheels, larger tires and upgraded the rear axle to a Dana 44, which increased the stock payload (cargo) capacity from 1,400 to 2,205 pounds (635 to 1,000 kg), well above that of any other mid-size truck. The Big or Metric Ton Comanche's payload rating was higher than that of many full-size pickups.

  Drivetrain[edit]

  The inaugural 1986 model year Comanches could be equipped with one of three engines. The AMC 150 2.5 L, 150 CID I4, The General Motors LR2 2.8 L V6, or the Renault 2.1 L I4 turbo diesel were all offered from the start.[3]

  The V6 engine, which was the same basic unit used in the first generation Chevrolet S-10, had 7 hp (5 kW; 7 PS) less than the base four-cylinder, only slightly more torque, and was equipped with a two-barrel carburetor instead of the four-cylinder's electronic TBI fuel injection.

  Changes to the engine lineup happened in the truck's second year on the market. For 1987, the 2.8 L V6 was replaced by the new fuel-injected 4.0 L, 242 CID AMC 242 inline-six that delivered 173 hp (129 kW; 175 PS), or 63 more hp than the previously outsourced V6.[11] The new six-cylinder was also more fuel-efficient. The slow-selling turbodiesel was dropped during the model year.

  Other changes under the hood occurred in 1991, when Chrysler adopted their own engine control electronics to replace the original Renix systems. One effect of this change was that the 4.0 L, 242 CID, I-6 engine gained 17 hp (to 190 hp (142 kW; 193 PS), having already gained 4 hp (3 kW; 4 PS) in 1988), while the 2.5 L, 150 CID, I4 engine jumped from 117 hp (87 kW; 119 PS) to 130 hp (97 kW; 132 PS).

  During the production life of the Comanche, six different transmissions were offered, manufactured by Aisin, Chrysler, and Peugeot. Aisin provided the AX-4 (four-speed), AX-5 and AX-15 (five-speed overdrive) manual transmissions, along with the AW-4 four-speed automatic that was used beginning in 1987. This is the same Warner transmission used in early- to mid-1990s Toyota 4Runners with the 3.0 and some 22re 4wd. The AX-15 was phased in to replace the Peugeot BA-10 five-speed that had been used from 1987 until mid-1988 behind the 4.0 L I6 engine. The Comanche came equipped with a weight sensing rear brake proportioning valve.

  Although Chrysler purchased AMC in 1987, only one Chrysler transmission was ever used in the Comanche, and that was prior to the takeover. 1986 models equipped with the 2.5 L I4 or 2.8 L V6 were offered with Chrysler's three-speed TorqueFlite A904 automatic.[3] Throughout the Comanche's production run, Chrysler would continue AMC's practice of purchasing Aisin automatic transmissions.

  The decision to phase out the Jeep Comanche "came from a combination of two factors— low sales and Chrysler's attempts to make the Jeep brand fit into the Chrysler hierarchy of Plymouth, Dodge, and Chrysler models" with Jeep housing SUVs and Dodge making trucks.[12]

  As sales dropped, the Comanche was planned for discontinuation. In 1990, the National Council of Jeep-Eagle dealers asked Chrysler to discontinue the Comanche, and allow them to sell a version of the Dodge Dakota pickup.[13]

  The company decided to cease production of the Comanche on June 12, 1992, after only a few thousand more trucks rolled off the Toledo, Ohio assembly line.[14] A total of 190,446 Comanches were made during its production run.[15]
