1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer Olympic review from North America
"Size has not relevance to its might!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas gauge went bad at 207k, and I just can't seem to have my rear tires last long.
General comments?
I own a 1988 Comanche "Olympic Edition". Its got about 210,000 miles on it, and I love it.
The I6 is so strong in such a small truck; I love pulling up to big V8 trucks (F-250, Chevy 2500's, etc.) and asking "wanna go!?!" (they think of most small trucks having 4 bangers). The light turns green and most will fall behind me right after we get through the light, then it is bye bye buddy.
I got a leak in my intake manifold gasket, and it whines really bad. So the V8's accuse me of having a blower. Funny as it is all stock.
Bar none the best vehicle I've ever owned.
