To diesel or to 24

[Dyzard]

Without seeing the build sheets and specs of what the 24 will bring…. I’m torn on getting that diesel engine or just get whatever the 24 has to offer

I doubt the ‘24 gets a power plant like the hemi or hurricane. A plug-in hybrid is likely, but it will likely compromise towing and payload even more than the ecodiesel ever did. Full float axles and the updated infotainment is coming I’d bet. Some other aesthetic changes such as the front grill is likely to match the Wrangler as well.

For the remaining 23’s I doubt they fixed the heat soak and oil temperatures in the diesel. I’ve had had heat soak once, derating never, but it is always in the back of my mind. The HPFP should be “fixed” on the last batch of ‘23’s, running the “bad” pump makes me somewhat concerned but I’ve been fine for almost 23k miles now. I don’t regret getting the diesel one bit though, it hasn’t bitten me, yet at least.

You could order a gasser 3.6 ‘24 and take the money saved on the diesel to gear the diffs appropriately for a 37 or whatever tire you may upsize to. You could save even more dough by getting a ‘23.

Just my .02.

Yeah that’s my thoughts exactly which has me torn on it all hahahahaha. It’s rough and will just have to wait to see the build sheet and the specs, it’s like in my head the full float could increase tow capabilities but that 3.6 still might not support that capacity

it’s like my heart wants a diesel Jeep like that was my dream as a kid ya know? But nowadays it’s like ugh is that worth it now??
Will just have to wait and see what that build sheet offers in all reality. Plus regardless it’d be an upgrade from my little orange 12

It was the Jeep I wanted when I started wanting one. I met my hero, really not disappointed to be honest.

I love my diesel JL and JT. Can't imagine owning a gasser after having these with diesels. But I can understand the apprehension since Jeep has decided to abandon the project.

20+ years as a diesel technician and having experienced two EcoDud failures I’d recommend passing on the diesel. Yes, it’s a fantastic power plant but it’s not been treated as a long term option by FCA. I’ve got the 3.6 now which isn’t awesome but it gets the job done.

i appreciate this insight truly and it’s been a worry and also part of why I waited for so long was waiting to see if they fixed it a little bit

Do you want the diesel novelty and are you willing to accept the risks that come with it?

 

[jakrogers]

Diesel, I’ve driven both and the diesel just feels right for this truck

To be completely honest yes and yes

Then go for it. Buy the 7 year / 100k warranty and enjoy it.

You can’t even buy a diesel right now due to the stop sale…. Unless you go used.

I thought I saw stop sale was lifted ?

Must be very recent. Tried to buy one 4 weeks ago and nobody would sell me one.
