I suspect that it's actually the axles that are the limiting factor. As far as I know, all diesel JLUs are getting Dana 44 axles. From Jalopnik: https://jalopnik.com/americas-first-ever-diesel-jeep-wrangler-is-the-torquey-1839766068It’s the same 8 speed as the 6.4 Hemi, isn’t it? Should have some headroom still.
Good point on the transmission, so only the transfer case is at risk of being the sacrifice to the gear-gods.It’s the same 8 speed as the 6.4 Hemi, isn’t it? Should have some headroom still.
So that is why the 2-door isn't getting the diesel. Uncontrollable wheelies.I suspect also why the gearing is 3.73 in the diesel instead of 4.10 as in the gas. I imagine you might be able to pop a wheelie in 2wd just before you grenade your rear diff with 4.10s.
The motor is detuned by 40tq compared to it's RAM 1500 counterpart.You can see the obvious software limit to torque from 1400 to 2800 rpm. A tuner should get Peak torque up to 500 pretty easily with no other mods.
Just add timing.The motor is detuned by 40tq compared to it's RAM 1500 counterpart.
No. When the number is lower, there is more strain. The diesels get 3.73 is because diesel RPMs are lower. Even the export 2.2 diesel gets 3.73 and it doesn't have as much torque.I suspect also why the gearing is 3.73 in the diesel instead of 4.10 as in the gas.

I didn't read the methodology but looks like the values are scaled to match billed power and torque figures (at the crank). In other words, I find it difficult to see how these are actual values at the wheels when they are an exact match with crank figures.Here's a more accurate chart, with CSV data attached.

These are estimated crankshaft numbers. I have no idea what data they started with, or if it is accurate.I didn't read the methodology but looks like the values are scaled to match billed power and torque figures (at the crank).
