I am 99% sure I heard there was a different ratio on a video -Yeah certainly curious. The gearbox is the same on the JL/JT across all engines so it would be interesting to confirm or dispel the rumor of a different one being out there.
The article here https://www.motor1.com/reviews/381663/2020-jeep-wrangler-unlimited-ecodiesel-first-drive/ says they are different:I am 99% sure I heard there was a different ratio on a video -
I disagree with their assessment of the steering. 3.6 was closer to their description but my 3.0 feels significantly better even on the 35s. I drove them back to back, with 18 months prior experience in the 3.6. I had the recall service on the 3.6 and it didn’t feel any different. Never had a death wobble either way.Well.....so much for that!

Although the EcoDiesel swaps the gas model’s 15.6:1 steering ratio for a 14.3:1 gear, the model’s steering suffers from the same large on-center dead spot and poor weighting of other Wranglers.

Thanks!
That is awesome you got a good one. I'm sure the faster ratio helps to some degree. Seems like on the other engines there are only some percentage that have the dead spot anyway. Hopefully all the diesels are good, just ironic the review had one!I disagree with their assessment of the steering. 3.6 was closer to their description but my 3.0 feels significantly better even on the 35s.
