Dual EGR system!! Wow lets double what goes wrong. Lighter pistons? Sounds like they are taking a page from GM when they converted a gas engine to diesel for their passenger cars over 30 yrs. ago, they also coated their cylinders with the thought it would work in conjunction with the lighter pistons well that proved to be a mass failure.I think it's funny that he claims to have been "writing workshop manuals for 28 years" but his grammar was so bad that TFL had to polish it up just so they could print it and it still has errors. Lol.
Anyhow, take the engine being described in that article, and keep the things that are trash about it, but now add a new dual EGR system and new coated cylinder walls and new lightweighted pistons. Imagine in your mind how dreadful this new EcoDiesel is going to be.
Now, to add salt to the wound, you have to PAY MORE to get all these issues! That's moronic.
Heck yea! One more kink worked out to give my JT the powerplant it deserves!Throw another recall on the stack...

I traded my zr2 2.8 on my gladiator 3.0 just can't resist that diesel feel. I also had no problem with the 2.8, it was a bit low on hp. And they did have issues with rods.. not mine but I read enough threads that it was starting to concern me lol.I traded
My GMC Canyon diesel for my gas JT. Never had a single issue other than the torque converter going out over 100k miles.
I want a diesel JT Rubi in the worse kind of way. Guess I’m glutton for punishment
