#23214 of 23220 new diesel Wrangler in the works by steve_ HOST Nov 04, 2009 (9:22 am)
I'm thinking the torque in 4L could be impressive....   Diesel Jeep Wrangler Coming in 4th Quarter 2010 (Straightline)   Replies to this message: mac24 (Nov 04, 2009 9:28 am) steve_ (Nov 04, 2009 9:41 am) erickpl (Nov 05, 2009 6:10 am) tired_old_dave (Nov 05, 2009 10:24 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 04, 2009 9:22 am) I'm thinking the torque in 4L could be impressive....   It all depends on which engine they use. Certainly the potential is there, but look how wrong they got it with the Liberty Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 04, 2009 9:41 am) erickpl (Nov 05, 2009 6:10 am)

Replying to: mac24 (Nov 04, 2009 9:28 am) Note that I assumed that Jeep still offers a 4L like they did in my '74 CJ-5.   The Liberty CRD ... well that was a whole can of worms it sounds like. Replies to this message: erickpl (Nov 05, 2009 6:10 am)

Surprised that no salivating "I want a diesel wrangler" poster attacked me. Had a crd and look in once in awhile on diesel forums. Protect the expensive high pressure bosch, don't eat an injector, lousy diesel fuel, disconnect the egr, buy a real torque converter, and on and on.   The Jeep Engineers and Italians, I am sure are having discussions but how much power does marketing have. Hopefully, management with greasy fingernails experience will give us our last hurrah before that 4wd electric wrangler (software permitting).   What can they do to/for the wrangler. The wrangler can replace the old cherokee and the commander and be the new wrangler. For instance (not an engineer), but what if a wrangler had a hemi, automatic, 3.21 gears, a metal top (cheaper and lighter than the composite?) and nice frame mounted flat aluminum steps like on our h3, and quality front end adjustable parts, would it sell - I think so.   Now the real wrangler, portal axles, larger tires, canvas top/freedom top option.... How much after market made standard or as an option - don't know - federal law and steel bumpers with winches etc.   I believe in the past $10k profit per model was a given for grand cherokees, various makes of suv's pickups etc. Are sales volume and respect really gained when a few pennies are saved in parts, when buyers opt for the base model, throw out the axles and suspension, and rebuild on the frame.

Replying to: dowawoo (Oct 09, 2009 11:38 am) I have the same problem with my 93. Did you ever find out what causes the diesel engine noise. I changed the timing chain (which had a lot of play after 130000 miles. but it didnt seem to fix the problem. I put Gumout fuel injector cleaner in and got only 500 miles out of it before the oil was black, had a bad smell and the engine made a bad, loud tick noise, (after a fresh oil change went away) but the diesel engine noise is still there. If you have any info let me know. thanks
