The date of when the EcoDiesel is coming out is all over "map". I don't think even Jeep knows.

I can only imagine the litany of red tape BS they're going through to try and get that engine out.

They have been quoting Q4 of 2019 for a solid year now. Yea Jeep can’t give you an exact date in that range because CARB/EPA gets the final say on certification, but they seem to have enough experience with the environmental gendarmes to narrow it down to a range of Sept/Oct orders to meet 12/31 delivery expectations. I used to think the Ram 1500 3.0 certification would be the most accurate predictor of JLU 3.0 cert, but now that it looks like the JLU is getting the gen2 3.0 leftovers, who knows. Better not have the garbage software “update” they foisted on the gen2 Ram 1500s.

What's becoming disappointing is that Jeep isn't going with the new EcoDiesel with 260HP/480 Ft-Lbs. If Jeep goes this route, then I will stick with the 3.6L engine. I have not been reading good things about the software updates and the effects on the diesel engine.

Blame Uncle (Sam), he's the reason for all this BS on diesels, since he wants EV's that have gimped range to be shoved down all our throats so he can limit our mobility

The crappy EVs are crappy because they are compliance cars made to be the bare minimum to raise their fleet mpg and reduce fines. The big automakers don’t want to make EVs because the only thing they know is ICE motors and assembly plants. They can’t do anything right when it comes to “those new fangled eeeeee luk tronicks” lol.

Evidence? Do you need evidence? Look at the bullshit we have with the electronics on these wranglers and all the old fogies here talking about electronics like it’s some kinda mysterious witchcraft.

Outside of Tesla I’m not sure I’d trust any American car company to build an electric car. Now if Bosch or Cummins or some outsider made a “electric power train” that FCA could just bolt into a Jeep chassis and sell as “sales code EVJ” I’m sure it’d be fine.
