1988 Jeep Comanche Reviews - Page 4 of 7

I had a blown head gasket at about 247000 miles, but I drove it plenty hard enough to cause that.

The headliner cloth had to be removed because it was sagging, but I don't spend a lot of time looking at the roof anyways.

This truck has ton of get up and go, and enough low end torque to pull my buddies 4x4 Toyota uphill.

This truck is the ultimate work horse and the majority of the ones I see on the road have had ladder racks added and turned into work trucks.

The bench seat is not the most comfortable thing I've ever sat on, but that's about the only thing I would change.

I've replaced the starter twice.

The radiator was replaced at around 170K miles.

The clutch was replaced at 180K miles.

Other than normal wear, I can't think of anything else this truck has had go wrong.

This truck is a loyal friend, even a member of the family.

It cranks in all weather, gets me from A to B comfortably and inexpensively.

Possibly the greatest little pickup ever built.

I will never sell this truck. It's that good.

Replaced power steering pump once.

Replaced radiator once.

I had a little work done on the rear main seal.

Replaced Catalytic converter once.

All minor repairs for the amount of miles. I have used this truck as a work horse form day 1.

I bought this truck off the showroom floor with six miles on it.

I have hauled everything from furniture to cords of wood.

I towed a boat for two years that I swear weighed more than the truck. Other than being pulled down the dock a bit, she worked like a champ!

I have a new Ford Windstar now, but my Comanche is still going like crazy.

After all these years and all the miles, this truck still has the power that it did on day one.

I love this truck! I am now getting ready to start refurbishing it.

I can't imagine life without it.

The air conditioner blower motor stopped working in the first year.

The paint started fading out on the hood, roof and bed rails after about three years.

The gear shift indicator is off a half notch between drive and third.

I had to replace the head gasket at about 98,000 miles.

I converted the air conditioning to R-134 at 157,000 miles.

I had to replace the fuel pump at 157,000 miles.

The radiator had to be replaced at 148,000 miles.

The wiper motors do not distinguish between slow and fast continuous speeds.

I've had fewer problems with the Comanche than with the new 1998 Chevy Malibu I only had until recently.

The Comanche has a lot of pick up (pardon the pun) for a mid-sized truck.

The engine still runs as well as it did the day I bought the truck new in 1988.
