Who's making the engine? I am all set to order a 2004 and asked my dealer he is as confused as everyone else. There also apparently other issue in the 04 configurator pertaining to the Limited. Anyone else seeing any issues? |

| Any idea on what the US base price for the Liberty Turbo Diesel will be? | |
| Email from my dealer does say that they will be making a limited number this model year, but had no idea when they would hit the show room floors or the price. Stay tuned. | |

| I own a dealership and Chrysler told me June of next year at the earliest. | |

WOW thanks for the update. Think I'll move forward with a gas guzzler. Have you any ideas on the Borla exhausted mentioned in other postings about improving the mileage? |

| I love it. I installed it on my wife's Liberty. I sell them on ebay in case you want one. | |

The answer is easier than you might imagine... The published schedule for avaliability of the required VeryLowSulpherDiesel fuel in the USA is 2005. All of the 3rd generation super-high-injection-pressure diesels will quickly clog up if the dirty USA diesel fuel is run thru them. Europe has been enjoying at least 2 generations ahead of USA with wonderful diesel engines due to the USA lagging behind in clean fuel. Anyone that owns a VW TDI can attest that the dirty fuel tends to 'clog up' the intake, exhaust, turbocharger...etc. I still like my 53MPG with enough torque to pass on the highway with ease. |

DaimlerChrysler diesel meets future regulations http://www.autonews.com/news.cms?newsId=6078 NOTE: "The test was conducted using low-sulfur European diesel fuel" ALSO; "Chrysler will build as many units of the diesel Liberty as the market demands. " |

I am still waiting on the diesel Libby. My 1992 XJ Laredo just had to have a major re-conditioning to keep it up to my standards of road worthyness (new suspension, new brakes, minor upgrades under the hood), but that should keep it running strong (for about 2 years) until the diesel is available in the US. The last time I discussed this with the local stealership, they informed me that it would be another year before the Libby would be available, but I suspect that the vehicle will not be released until mid MY2005 because of the cleaner burning diesel not available in the US yet. We have to remember that these diesel KJ Cherokees are currently being built in Toledo for export. So we are not waiting on DC to work out kinks in the vehicle or production. I think we are waiting for the oil companies to catch up with the technology. |
