It will be exciting to see what the aftermarket does with this platform. I'm more interested in efficiency tuning. I want to see what GDE does with this generation of the ecodiesel. MANY people praise what the did for the original 3.0.
Either way I don't think we will see these in market for a...
This is for the pre-18 ecodeisel. With a gen 2 engine, and a new transmission being mated to it, I would think they would have to re calibrate this for the new diesel power plant coming.
This has made my weekend. Thank you Jay for spreading a little uplifting information. This is going to be a crazy, exciting, informational year ahead of us, and I'm looking forward to experiencing it all with all of you.
I really hope we get a pleasant surprise and see a JT at Easter Safari. I'm dying to get information on this thing. I scour the internet for information daily. My wife says I'm torturing myself. Maybe I am but I've been dreaming about this vehicle since before I was dreaming about women.
Finally some optimism. . . I've been starting to have a really hard time lately with the dry spell and flourishing doom and gloom. I was thinking the same thing about the lack of need for the mules due to more refined product coming soon. I'm glad to see someone else had the same thought.
I've always wanted a truck and a diesel. Owned three jeeps in my life. This will be everything I've always wanted. Waited my whole life so far, but I have the feeling this last year+ is gonna be an uphill battle.
The only thing I hope for is an EGR bypass like Green diesel does with their tune. Not a delete as those are illegal, something that bypasses it in software so can't be detected during smog test.
Funny enough, I'm in the exact same boat. Wife is telling me to get what I want we'll figure out how to afford it, and I'm stressing my boulders off about cost
By filtering to a finer standard you remove more of the soot and carbon deposits in the oil (in the case of deisel). This reduces the wear and tear on the engine, and extends the life of the oil. If you analyze your oil instead of doing an oil change, oil can last 10s of thousands of miles...
