That's what I like to hear! : ) I went to 35s within a couple of weeks of driving it home and am planning to step up to 37 this summer.You are correct; the 3.0TD is the EcoDiesel and I added the 3.0TT as a reference point (new Wagoneer engine). Although you **may** get into a situation that would require a re-gear, with 442 lb-ft of torque and it being a turbocharged diesel, you will notice a tire change without a re-gear far less than say a 3.6L with 260 lb-ft. The same applies to the 2.0T--you hear far less griping about performance after a tire change and no re-gear than a 3.6L owner will.
You will also need less gear for all of them versus what a 3.6L will need to have the same level of performance. I think for the 3.0TD and the 392, the impact (for up to 37" tires) with no re-gear would be enjoyable versus "living with it".
