JLUW75

I'm in the process of finalizing the order sheet for my JLUW and part of me did toy with the idea of a high torque Diesel engine! But many people provided great feedback below and I eco their sentiment as well. For me, it came down to risk. As was mentioned, Modern diesel engines are very complex. Forget maintenance. Any repair will cost you a lot out of warranty. I read that this engine is designed in Italy by Fiat and that didn't give me great confidence. I'm ordering my Willys with the Manual XMSN just so I avoid the eTorque v6 engine. I want the least complex driveline and the most proven one. It also helps keep costs down. $2500 for the Auto and about $4K cost to upgrade to the Diesel. ouch! I can buy a lot of 87Octane gas for that! Just one man's opinion. Wish you a great shopping experience!As the title says, I'm thinking about it....
I would like to know the maintenance costs and extra steps you have to take in order to service the diesel engine. I have never owned one before.
