I just checked the EPA site and there still is nothing for the diesel.

Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but there is nothing fast about the government updating their web pages either. We will see if they go into production. I am pretty sure I am in the first 100 to 200 that has ordered one. VIN ending in 195012...I am not getting my hopes up though!

I think the engine was certified 10/7, same as Ram EcoDiesel. But probably still testing/finalizing fuel economy. Id also guess that’s why they started taking orders. Engine is coming either way, just need to figure out what numbers to put on the window sticker. It’ll happen soon.

also my vin is 194908.

Precisely...emissions testing is long over, including by CARB. This is and always has been a fuel economy delay and those numbers wind up in the media the day they’re finalized for any reasonably anticipated new drivetrain. They continue to be MIA with no sign of release timeframe other than the woefully inaccurate 11/25 guess on FCAs part...and who knows if that was FCA’s wishful thinking or a date from EPA. Either way, we all know it doesn’t take 2+ months to run a fuel economy test, regardless of the backlog in Ann Arbor.

Do you mind sharing two more digits? I'm trying to find the OEM spring numbers for a 3.0 Rubicon, and need to have the last 8 of a VIN.

They should all be the same LW since those two positions of the VIN designate the assembly plant and model year.

Well, let's hope it is announced before December 20th. I work for a government agency and we are preparing for another shutdown...if that happens will only further the delay of the EPA Fuel Mileage numbers.

LOL...if we make it to then without mpg numbers from EPA, I’ll have everyone with a 3.0 order waving libertarian pitchforks for sure!
