lol I come back to this thread months later wondering if there has been any more concrete info here. skimmed the last few pages and the speculations both ways are wild still. ha

Have an EcoD and if they would just confirm a reasonably priced Hemi I would put this up for sale and look to be buying a nicer midsize 3 row suv we are currently in need of.. They kinda got me in limbo here.

I ran across this V8 Brute for sale today.

Sort of tempting.
Sharp looking rig.
I am not crazy about that 5 speed auto.

2017 Jeep Wrangler | Fast Lane Classic Cars



I was searching to see if there were still kits being sold to convert Wranglers into Gladiator type truck, thinking more like the Original 2 door Brutes were 4dr Wrangler conversions. Might be cheaper than a motor swap option, to buy a 392 Wrangler and make it into a pickup if that were still an option.

Might looks sort of like this.

I've posted concrete information straight from Stellantis own systems for months.

Can't counter the fact that people want to believe clickbait and hop on talking crazy about what they've heard.

I'm in these systems every day, I'm a advanced manufacturing engineer, on this platform. If changes were coming, I'd know 18 months, minimum, before anyone on Youtube.

but everyone knows a guy down to the plant, everyone asked their dealer, everyone has sources lol.

Doesn't matter unless you post your evidence from a Motel 6 in video format with a clickbait title.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Yeah, I mean., people want to believe whacky things, and they tend to be the most vocal, and have the most free time.

Occams Razor be damned, I heard they're putting the new Viper V13 in it.

Appreciate that. I didnt go back through but 10 pages or so. Dont have time to read ramblings of 90 pages. Guess I am holding onto the EcoD until further notice. Now I guess I need to figure out the coolant loss/smell.

Making money telling people what they want to hear certainly isn't a new phenomenon.

Hucksters, fraudsters, snake oil salesmen, traveling preachers, this is as old as time.

These Hemi in everything Youtubers are just a small segment, I'm sure there's some youtuber telling Chevy boys the K5 is coming back and the El Camino is just around the corner and whatever they want to hear too.

I do see k5 blazer and 2 door Tahoe AI renderings pop up on click bait sites. lol

Man that is No Bueno - maybe egr leaking

Not a continuous smell, only on cold day startups and only outside. Level was low but only like a quarter jug (havent added any in 5 years), so dont think it's a huge leak yet. No overheating, so just the smell is how I know there is something to deal with.

Normal weekly update, still a shocking lack of information random Youtubers entirely outside the industry have access to.

Wagoneer 4XE starts production May 4, only notable thing people here would care about.
