Life is too short. If the diesel JT ever makes it to production i will have over a year of JT ownership and enjoyment.
There is really nothing wrong with the gas motor and to deny yourself ownership of a JT simply because of the motor is silly.
A big problem is that dealers have large inventories of JT`s and the main reason according to my dealer is price and according to my dealer a JT diesel will only sit on the lot because for the same price a Ford F-250 diesel can be bought , their plan its to just take orders for the JT diesel and...
From what i was told today that "if" they continue with JT diesel production, plans look to be a Nov-Dec start date. This would put the trucks at dealers roughly next April. If this is true it`s a shame as i was interested to see how they work out in the JT.
Instead of the Hemi motor what about the Alfa Romeo Ferrari designed 6. It has more power than the Hemi is lighter and takes no more space than the current motor , please bring up this for an option. I have this motor in my Stelvio and it`s great and produces more torque than the diesel.
I did mine on the ground alone and it was a workout, lucky you had that lift available. Good work!
For those looking for a Drag Link Fusion 4x4 has 10% off right now i just ordered mine.
This is the reason Ford came out with the 7.3 because diesel owners have been begging for a diesel alternative. Fleet owners also have been complaining for years about diesel maintenance costs. I belong to all of the major diesel truck forums and most people just put up with the diesel BS...

Facts are facts and those facts are part of history and a part of history i have lived and am living to this day.
Your tunnel vision and disrespect is obvious.
Your drinking Media Hype. What were the Demo`s called during the 60`s, 70`s, the war party the tricksters same party today but a different cast. And i can thank president "O" after 34yrs of service for taking away my private insurance and putting me on MediCare a real slap in the face.
Do you really believe that? Please say no.
During the VN war i was SF and SS after the war i worked for DOD and other govt. agency`s and direct under every President until i retired 15yrs ago. From what i know and experience lets just say i do not see anyone doing a better job.
During my test drive as WXman eluded too it seemed to take quite a bit of throttle to feel some grunt, it almost felt like it was starving for fuel till mid throttle. I asked the sales person what was going on and he said the techs could not find anything wrong. It drives a lot different then...
Local dealer has had a diesel JL for a month now, at first they were impressed now not so much. They mentioned about DEF usage being extreme and the lack of and sometimes the absence of torque.
Ford later came out with a simple kit that cost $100 to support the frame other companies now have kits in the $800 range. hopefully Jeep will offer something for our...
