Update on my build, just got word I am in D1 status now and all materials have been received and are ready to start the build. Ordered: 6/25 VIN received: 6/28 D1 Status: 7/22 Est. Ship date 8/1

Obviously we don't want to overheat, but I'm wondering if there may be a slight silver lining to this engine running so hot. With a hot engine, higher EGT's will take care of the soot buildup in the DPF, right? I haven't noticed any overlap between people with overheating issues and people with...

I did the same thing when I ordered! Can't be too careful when dropping this kind of money. Looks like we got the exact same color/interior/trim combo too, just different engine. Congrats on your order and welcome to the waiting gang ?

Just saw a post about a "H.E.R.O." (Heat Expulsion, Ram Opening) hood over on the JL forum. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/would-you-buy-another-3-0l-ecodiesel-why-why-not.72045/post-1506477 Direct link to the hood: http://totlinnovations.com/jl-h-e-r-o-hood/ Says it's...

I'm not buying the info in that article. I ordered mine 6/25 and it was $95 as well. Seemed like a steal. I better not get a surprise on the invoice when it arrives and find it marked up another $600.... And by the way my order is still in D status as of 7/12.

Yeah I think you're right on point. I'd like to delete because I know it comes with benefits to the longevity and reliability of the engine, but I wish it didn't have to come at the cost of more NOx. I'm certainly not for rolling coal. I'm just a huge fan of diesel engines from an engineering...

Interesting, may need to look into this. A "quiet" diesel was never a selling point for me as I love the sound. Doubly interested if it helps with cooling.

No, delete kits are almost non-existent because the EPA comes after shop owners with a vengeance for installing them. https://www.thedrive.com/news/31848/epa-declares-war-against-makers-of-emissions-defeat-devices...

This thread has been a super interesting read. My biggest takeaway is that Jeep should have put a note in the manual explaining the parameters of their towing test (only 40mph), and maybe done a bit of physics explanation for why you shouldn't expect to haul ass up an 7-9% grade in 100+ weather...

I would delete ASAP if my county wasn't basically California with emissions requirements...

Did you do any deletes or tunes? Or is that 185k stock miles? That would be impressive.

Yikes August? Where did you get this info? I'd hoped they had a comfortable stock of glass before adding it as an option they expected 80%+ of people to pick.

Oh man that's rough. Congrats though, you're on the way! Nice, another rubicon diesel ? looking forward to hearing about your progress. I ordered mine just over a week after you so good to hear yours is already in framing. Did you happen to get the gorilla glass?

Glad to see so many rave reviews for this engine, can't wait for mine! Wanted a diesel for most of my life! The clatter noise is a characteristic of compression ignition. When diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder, it is done so at peak compression when air temperatures are so high the...

I’ve been following your build and it’s been fun to see Sundownee sneak pics for you from the transport lot and your first time seeing it in person, I’m excited for you! I think the gorilla glass is a very new option. I never saw it when I built online, only saw it when I was doing the real...

Had a dealership (Southwest CDJR in Cleburne, Tx. I recommend avoiding it like the plague) I was in contact with about a very rare config I found in transit to their store (profile pic related). I explained that I was quite serious and I would like her to call me as soon as it arrives so we can...

Hey ya'll! After years of lurking I finally pulled the trigger on a custom order and joining the forum! I'm crazy excited to finally have the ball rolling after dreaming of owning a Jeep for 4+ years. Not excited about the wait lol, but it seems I'm in good company here. Thanks to everyone for...
