At one point they stopped using steam engines.Glad I didn’t wait. Manual transmission and two doors are must-haves for me when buying a Wrangler. Whenever either of those goes away, I’ll be done buying new Jeeps.
Yeah, and the people who loved steam engines stopped buying them new and kept using the ones they had until they died. And there’s actually still some folks out there who operate them as a novelty. As I’ll be doing with my 2-door MT jeep. So... what’s your point?At one point they stopped using steam engines.
Need to take a trip down to the proving grounds to see if I can catch a few 3.0 driving around. I have seen some truck mules lately with full camp on, but no Jeeps as of yet.at least you know where the pic was taken...
The 3.0 Ram 1500 and Grand Cherokee have been using DEF for several years and just about the entire diesel market (outside of the VW 2.0 TDI which had to cheat) runs urea injection systems to meet NOx requirements. Clogging has not been an issue I’m aware of with the FCA 3.0 DEF system, but DPFs (across the industry) on the other hand...they are pretty much a consumable part which is better off being deleted along with the EGR (the valves of which are also prone to clogging) when the factory unit goes.they have to put a def system in that small of a diesel engine?....thought it was just for the big rigs...thats another added expense, and hassle....def is messy and clogs very quickly....
And both of my pre-2015 2.0 Golf TDIs didn’t. That year is when the cheating stopped.Both of my 2015 VW 2.0L TDIs (Jetta & Passat) have DEF tanks.
Even the smaller than 3.0L diesel motors have to have DEF... It's the only way to get the NoX levels low enough. Honda thought they had a passive system that would be in compliance, but ultimately it didn't pan out. At least in the smaller motors a couple of gallons of DEF lasts a long time (like over 10k miles). I am pouring DEF in every few thousand miles in my F350.they have to put a def system in that small of a diesel engine?....thought it was just for the big rigs...thats another added expense, and hassle....def is messy and clogs very quickly....
I think so too, but I have so say if the one that gets put in the wrangler runs anything like the 1500s. I'm not sure I would really want a manual diesel the more I think about it.Man what a bummer. The diesel not being available with a manual is heart breaking.
Hey Bruno - do you know when the turbo kicks in for the new 3.0D? At what RPM, I mean?I think so too, but I have so say if the one that gets put in the wrangler runs anything like the 1500s. I'm not sure I would really want a manual diesel the more I think about it.
That ecodiesel has lag. Like a lot of it. It would take a while to get used to the delay on wind up. Might have to used the hill assist cause otherwise it's not gonna wind up fast enough when you start rolling backwards on a hill.
What's more heart breaking is Jeep not putting it into the two door. If Europe gets a two door with the same engine/transmission I'm gonna be furious.
There is a distinct point where the engine comes into power. 1200-1600 is where it's at if I remember right. However off the line there is a couple possibly even 3 second delay at times until the engine reaches this point. Once it's there, man it flat scoots.Hey Bruno - do you know when the turbo kicks in for the new 3.0D? At what RPM, I mean?
I ask because like you I live in CO and am moving on from my 4R due to lack of power in the high country. I've been eagerly awaiting the 3.0D for the torque to help with those problems. If the lag is really bad, am I better off getting a 2019 with the 2.0T hybrid for torque at lower RPMs?
Thanks
