I love diesel motors and believe that they are a far superior motor to gasoline motors. With that being said, I will never own another light duty diesel motor. I have owned a 7.3 Powerstroke, a 5.9 Cummins, and (2) 6.7 Powerstrokes. (Currently a 6.7 in my F250 and in my F550 based motorhome.). They are great....at first. Once the DPF starts to get to 60-70% soot load the problems start and once they start they do not stop. I finally deleted my 2015 F250 and it has been problem free so no complaints there but if you live in a liberal state with strict emissions tests that is not an option. I just got through spending $800 on my 2019 F550 based motorhome to fix an f'd up DEF tube so that I can keep my motorhome 50 state legal (52 states if you are in Obama's USA) and I expect more expenses to come. If you buy a new vehicle every couple of of years, the diesel is (was) an excellent choice but if you keep your vehicles for many many years, modern day light duty diesels will bring you heartache and $$.
I thought long and hard about the 3.0 and the 6.4 Wranglers and in the end purchased the 392 to avoid what I knew would eventually be a very problematic 3.0 diesel. Enjoy your 3.0ED's as I am sure they are amazing machines.
