Not if more issues keep happening with these engines.If they cancel the EcoDiesel for Wranglers, our 3.0Ls value will shoot up to the moon.
This site is used as an aid for diesel owners not trolls like yourself making negative comments that don't even own a diesel. We share experience based on our ownership you comment merely based off of hearsay. The majority of us EcoDiesel Wrangler owners are not only proud of our purchase but enjoy every minute of our ownership. Every auto manufacturer every powertrain has its problems. That includes your gasser. I think you stay on this site just as a way to justify your complacency on not purchasing a diesel in the first place. My sympathy goes out to you if you ever got behind the wheel of a diesel. I can understand the regret you must have.
They didnt offer the diesel, when I purchased mine, if you bothered to see what I drive. I do, in fact, own a diesel pickup, and have owned a diesel truck for approx 22 yrs. So, I do know a little about the pros and cons of older vs modern diesels. Do your research, and stop with all the silly troll talk.
If you want to compare your diesel truck of tomorrow to our ecodiesel's it just further shows your argumentative non-constructive, negative approach as you first posted. In 1997 I purchased my first Mopar Cummins diesel Ram truck. That's why I waited for 2020 to purchase a diesel in a Wrangler. I did see your 2018 gasser which furthered my understanding you're merely trolling this EcoDiesel site making commenting about the EcoDiesel which you have zero ownership experience. Only comparing your diesel of yesterday. It is unfortunate but all your negative talk isn't going to change the fact today's diesels must run on Def with emission requirements. I'm very happy with my EcoDiesel and never plan on going back. The downside to the Wrangler ownership previously was gears, lack of torque, lack of power, with high revs on moderate to steep highway grades, with frequent fueling stops. Now Just smiles and the miles. By all means enjoy your gasser and we'll enjoy our Ecodiesel's.
Me, I'm hesitant about owning a modern diesel. I would love to own a diesel wrangler, but I shy away from them, because of long term potential issues. If there aren't any, or if they are.easily fixed, I will be shopping for one.
Yeah, forums tend to exaggerate the situation. Even if you go to Toyota Tacoma's forum, people will list all sort of problems on that too. Not saying people did not have those issues, it is just that the majority who do not have issues are always the silent majority.
People talk about the gassers like they are bulletproof but I travel that part of the site and see endless complaints too. The internet leans negative.
Not I. I prefer diesel, unrestricted by EPA. But, gassers are easier to work on.
I saw above that you said you had been driving diesels for 22 years. My relationship goes back that far too but I gotta say that while I too am annoyed but the cleaning systems, I donāt want to go back to a world where Iām driving behind vehicles spewing clouds of noxious black smoke.
My local dealer has yet to see one single JL or JT diesel with issues.
that 4.0 experience is very uncommon imo. My 16 year old nephew now has my 02 4L/3 speed auto I bought new. Itās had Rotella T 5w40 since the first oil chance and a mix of synthetic fluids everywhere else. Two radiators & water pumps and a head gasket has all its every had outside regular maintenance. The notorious exhaust manifold leak happened just outside the 3/36 but I replaced with a borla header and itās still fine. 4.10s with the then popular hi pinion XJ front/ ford 8.8 rear swap, rubicon express long arm kit & 35s for nearly every mile. Tons and tons of wheeling.
