I have a feeling you don't really understand modern diesels that well or believe the forums. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. There are tons of these rolling around without problems and many in northern climates. They ARE NOT perfect, but it shines next to the 2.0L or the 3.6L...
Bosch makes it.
Honestly, don't worry about it. 99.9% it will never be a problem. I'm sure the actual failure rate is VERY low since it's in multiple vehicles. It gets a bad reputation for having a few problems, but some of that has been corrected from what I understand.
The best...
Correct. It's not fuel pressure that's an issue necessarily. It's more so it suffering a major failure...albeit the internet has made that overblown.
5th diesel I've owned with the CP4 and no issues yet, but they can be a problem with poor fuel. I'm not that concerned with it, obviously, since...
Yeah, the only concern is bad fuel and the CPR4. That to me is really the only risk with these, although the risk is still relatively low.
I'm going Banks personally.
I am very familiar with this and let's face it, people used it as a loophole (that is being closed) to avoid paying sales tax. Many people did this with wakeboard boats and exotic cars to avoid taxes. I am part of that community and it used to be commonplace with boats. Many boat dealers won't...
They didn't design the JLURD to run 37" tires, with a lift, tow a trailer, and do it over a mountain pass. It's fairly simple. That's a tall task for a diesel jammed into a small engine compartment. I don't understand why people think you won't run into any problems with those extreme...
I think this is spot on. We're about 15-18 months from supply chains getting back to normal. I would expect that to delay plans on vehicles that are continuing to sell well.
It's funny because I'm in the exact situation. Decding between a diesel Rubicon and a 392. Not doing the XR package after some searching as the aftermarket options make more sense for me.
Looking forward to this thread!
Having been a diesel guy with many of trucks/suvs, for a decade plus, this is the smartest comment I've read on this forum. Thank you!
1 - it wasn't designed to tow, w/ 37" tires, in the mountains. Let's be clear.
2 - the issue is cooling and if you're going to modify the Jeep then for god's...
Legend? How was the Cummins 5.0 they put in the Nissan Titan? Yikes.
Not everything they have made has been gold, but I agree most of their engines are solid.
This is not accurate. They heat up much faster than that. I'm on my 2nd 3.0 ED and my 5th diesel.
Your commute won't hinder your diesel at all. I'd go 3.0 but I'm biased! Great motor that has almost all of the kinks worked out and you get a long powertrain warranty with these Jeeps.
I spent about 4 hours driving through the same storm in MN and ND. I went out this morning at about 3:30am on unplowed roads and was hammering snow drifts (seriously). It wasn't good to be traveling but I had to go. We're talking 6"+ of snow and 12-18" drifts. (30-40mph)
Anyhow, no issues and...
I have this exact issue on my leather seats. 2021 JLUR...I think it's from my wife and her sister's lotion/sunscreen on their legs. I haven't tried to get it off yet, but water and a rag won't do it. That much I know!
