It gets betterā the genius just banned natural gas home heating, water heaters, other things starting in 2035 as I recall. All will be electric and further straining the power grid. One more day and my large off grid capable solar system install will be complete because PG&E Canāt Keep The Power Reliably On Now!!!!True. californias governor told its citizens not to charge their cars....hmmm.
So I guess we are now considered a reputable source? We apparently control the narrative now.....what a world we now live in where Fake news abounds and mediocrity holds sway.
If thatās the way it works, I do hereby announce the following:So I guess we are now considered a reputable source? We apparently control the narrative now.....what a world we now live in where Fake news abounds and mediocrity holds sway.
Noted forum member Rohdawg stated that Stellantis had announced a 20th Anniversary Edition Rubicon would be releasing this week. The newest and most audacious two door variant is slated to include the Hemi 392 engine mated to a manual transmission and roll on enormous 40 inch tires. The package will also come with the long awaited Retractable Sunshades and Core Doors, and is sure to be a real head turner.If thatās the way it works, I do hereby announce the following:
Jeep will release the 20th Anniversary Edition Rubicon tomorrow, September 26, 2022.
The package include the popular Hemi 392, 40ā tires and a two door manual option.
I agree with you that it's done. I just think that it's a shame. The Diesel engine has had such a terrible stigma here in the US. I owned one of the last VW TDi engines, and I loved it. The EPA restrictions on NOx are quite absurd. And forcing manufacturers to reduce their engine output to these nearly unreachable levels has made these once reliable torquey motors much more unreliable, and as such, not a popular choice.I canāt believe some of you think the EcoDiesel will live on in only the most niche of all the offerings that engine went in I admire your optimism but seriously, itās done.
What are you willing to bet?I canāt believe some of you think the EcoDiesel will live on in only the most niche of all the offerings that engine went in I admire your optimism but seriously, itās done.
The "motor" itself may last long. But I hope you don't own your diesel outside of warranty. That hugely complex emissions control subsystem *will* fail. And it is prohibitively expensive to fix. If you want to drive it on the road long term, you will have to pass inspection.Believe it or not, many of us, diesel owners, do not care about the overall costs. I wouldn't be in a JL if I cared about overall expenses.
I bought my diesel not just for the torque and off-road capability but also because diesel engines typically outlast gassers in the longevity department.
I agree with the poster just above you about the potential pitfalls with long term ownership of today's small diesels but the problems many people had (and are having) with the 4XE were enough to scare me away from buying one. I would not trust the fairies under the hood of a 4XE as they're way overworked and not up for the task!- I don't care what's under the hood as long as it works. It could be magic fairies in there, as long as they give me torque!
This might be my first and last Wrangler.
