What Happened to the Jeep Comanche?!? 

No just flip your phone around 😉

That’s funny. I’ve had 3 Cherokees over the years, an 84,85 and 89. I stripped the 84 down and painted it. I had been driving it for over a year and someone came up to me and said”your grill is on upside down”

My exact thoughts.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well, there is that. And there is, you have this thing on a trailer(donor wagoner)and instead of bringing it to the shop and or in the shop,(so you are close to all your tools) the work is done 50-100 yards away from the shop. And only AFTER trying to carry it that far does he get a wheel barrow. 🤷‍♂ Planning does not seem to be his strong suit. 🤣 Which is why at the last minute he is trying to fix it for Easter which is when this was published. 🤔 Plan, KISS and the world can be an easy place to live in. 😉

Good thing I didn't step in it...

do your old trucks have 50k in parts in them too? they drive new 100k trucks to pull their old stuff. do you have 3 cuz 2 are always broken? i have a 94 toyota with 400k miles

@@carlholland3819 Yep, my 2001 Tahoe is always broken down. As soon as I fix one thing something else brakes. This has been going on for almost 10 years. 1998 Explorer, 276,000 miles. Still going strong. 1992 Ranger I gave to my grand son 356000 miles going strong. 2004 Dakota, 88,000 going strong. I never know when any of these are going to give out. The Tahoe, Explorer and the Dakota aren't worth anything so i just keep driving them and am going to continue driving them until they quit. Can't afford anything new. Can't afford to keep up with the neighbors. Afraid to buy anything new, too expensive to have repaired and too hard and complicated to repair my self.

I may be wrong but didnt he say it was a renix jeep and wouldnt that mean its a v6?

@@danimal865 No renix is the computer on the older AMC jeeps inlin 6

The problem is that none of the above applies to a Renix Comanche. The Renix ECU doesn't "learn" anything. It's a cold start, every time.

I had a 1998 Jeep yj with 4.0 L six was running much like yours had a warped intake manifold got worse when hot Machined the head and put new throttle body injector ran like a top after

On the freeze plugs you might find that most often its owners who don't flush out and replace their coolant often enough that have problems with freeze plugs, radiators and heater cores. The anti-corrosion components in coolant do fail over time and the system then needs to be drained, flushed and refilled on a regular schedule before that happens. If you wait until the coolant tests out as bad then damage has most likely already started. I've only had freeze plug issues on used vehicles where the previous owners were lax in flushing the coolant. Same with brake fluid, after two years it has to be replaced to get the best service life from your brakes. On vehicles I've owned from new that have steel freeze plugs I've gone 20/30 years or longer without an issue just due to following best practice on coolant flushes. Never had a brake line rot out internally or had to replace a wheel cylinder/caliper either due to following a 2 year brake flush schedule. Some will counter that on brakes you only need to flush brake fluid if a test strip inserted in the reservoir shows its bad however that gives you a false sense of security since brake fluid does not recirculate back to the reservoir on most systems so you can end up with pockets of failed acidic brake fluid eating away at various components throughout the system even when a test strip indicates the fluid in the reservoir as good. Preventative maintenance is much more convenient and cost effective than waiting until something breaks. On a used vehicle even if the seller "claims" that maintenance is up to date I presume they are mistaken (or worse) and treat it like a vehicle that has not be serviced correctly for a long time. So far judging from what I've found most sellers over the past 50/60 years have been mistaken with a very rare few actually being correct. On the codes you really need to look past just code reading and start looking at the data logs after putting on your Dick Tracy hat otherwise you end up like Inspector Clouseau bumbling along and accidentally stumbling upon the solution after a prolonged ordeal. Glad you found the root cause in the bad grounds which is why I tell the kids to check all your grounds first before doing anything else. Best!

I had the same thing happen with mine. But mine came down to a crack in my distributor cap, once it warmed up it started running like crap.

Try changing the fuel pump with a known good one, that would confirm if the one in there now is good or bad, also check/change fuel filter(s).

My YJ had this very same problem. It turned out to be the strainer in the tank getting filled with junk. It would run great for the first couple minutes when the junk settles to the bottom then cut out.

My thoughts exactly. .possible fuel filter plugging or pump gitn super weak. .

Try changing filters/strain for the fuel, if you got water in the fuel those filter clog up REAL fast

I was thinking the samething during the test drive Rudy

I had the same thought. I was leaning towards the regulator, or fuel return line.

Or vakuum in the tank?

Check the fuel filter first

Robert you are being weird again

@@TurkeySandwichJr just staing the truth dude

Yes. Pretty odd question. Lol

Of course they did. When else would everybody start fixing their stuff. If you don't have a deadline, no project ever gets done. I thought everyone knew that.

@@jasonstrout4502 Very true. I've been guilty of it myself.

@@MattsOffRoadRecovery OMG, I got a reply from MORR on Rudy's channel. This is the best Easter ever - lol. Happy Easter MORR crew

Blinker fluid is only on the early Dodge Vipers. True fact, you can see the fluid level in a little tube in the headlights. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LXe4LRuc1f0.html

Got me an 88 2dr just swapped from closed to open cooling system this weekend and upgraded the trac bar and mount. Got a small coolant leak from the waterpump inlet tube, should have used pipe sealer rather than Teflon tape😑

When he listed off what all he replaced I immediately thought the same on the CPS. And +1 on Cruiser, dude's a Renix professor.

Same thing here. My 90 XJ ran just like the comanche, replaced the CPS and didn't help. My issues came from the harness. 23 year old Mopar wiring against a hot block does some serious damage. I diag'd the wiring and values were good, until one time they weren't. The engine would heat the wiring and short it out, but intermittently. I suggest pulling the CPS wiring harness all the way back and check it.

👍 I was trying to remember it's correct name that dang ballast resistor if it corroded, cracked or damaged. A replacement one years ago was a PTA to find in early 2000s.

The fuel pump ballast resistor is only there to reduce fuel pump noise...delete the silly thing on any wheeler! X2 on Cruiser54's Mostly Renix info stash, invaluable for any Renix owner.

Did you check the coil? There was a recall on them in the early 90's. Had 2 go bad on me with 2 different symptoms. One, intermittent miss under a load causing reduced power and the other engine would only run at idle.

I had that once, it ended up being the fuel pump on mine, good luck.

Good idea but our ears tell us different though.

My Dad was a mechanic and when the customer asked what he thought the problem was he would say he had it narrowed down to somewhere between the headlights and the taillights. 🙏🙏👍💪
