Damn Diesel

[A 2]

Took a 140mile round trip yesterday in the JTRD yesterday and nothing happened. No de-rating, no catastrophic oil leaks, no fuel pump implosions. Nothing But tons of torque. For reference, 2021 rubicon on 35s with roughly 18k on the clock.



(sorry, I don’t mean to make light of those that are having issues, but need to speak up for all of us who aren’t.)

Same here. Nearly 18K on mine and just an absolute joy to drive. Going for my last free oil change tomorrow.

Being a previous ecodiesel owner they are junk in my opinion. I sang praises until I had total engine failure at 34k miles. Replacement engine lasted twice as long!

Mine has been much better this year as well, but temps were much lower than normal for a summer.

She did derate to 40mph last weekend towing my YJ up Hwy 50 to the Rubicon Trail, but it was 91° in a construction zone so I didn't get ran over.

Silly diesel- probably got decent fuel economy too… total trash. ?????

Don’t get me started girlfriend!

Mine has been a total train wreck. I ain't got any problems. Feels like I'm missing out on something.

Guys I feel your pain last weekend I drove mine 240 MI each way with absolutely zero problems but with that said I still can't say I hate it even with this fuel mileage I'm getting 24.4 per gallon on 35 inch tires I still enjoy driving it

I don’t want to jinx mine with bad juju so I will just say 55k and loving it. Damn now something is gonna blow!

Less than 1k before hitting 30k, do I get the extended warranty, yes or no. Have had plenty of issues with this truck, more than ANY other vehicle I have ever owned, a/c compressor failed, catalytic converter replacement, main battery, rear glass leak, etc, etc . Yet I still look at aftermarket parts, just bought a new front bumper and Warn winch. This guy is just fine to drive.

Also drove about 700 miles to, from and around the Outer Banks over the past weekend with no issues. Would be nice to get 250k out of this engine like my 2000 Cummins 5.9.

No shit, 240 miles? Better get a lawyer.

Let me drive it and see what happens.

 

[Randonexplosion]

If you're having Jeep problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but my diesel aint one.

 

[Teqsand]

Wife has a 21 JLURD with 32k and no issues. My 22 JTRD blew the CP4 at 4k miles and got bought back..... 23 JTRD on order

Let’s add more gasoline into fire… how many members on this forum with diesel clocking 100k miles plus without issues?
