I realize it was Gen 2 and that guy does a bunch of diesel rebuilds mostly Power Stroke and Cummins. He has another video up on a Gen 2 rebuild with 200,000 miles and in disassembly he explains lack of maintenance as the cause. Another key point he makes is whatever engine you have cut the...
I own a Gladiator diesel and I did a bunch of online research before buying the diesel. What I found was the problems with the 3 liter are little different than the power stroke and Cummins and that is it all comes down to maintenance. I follow this guy on YouTube as he has a huge shop in Utah...
Absolutely, the eco fits my needs and where I live. Just turned 10,000 miles and no issues. I haven’t even looked into the recalled pump yet. The percentage of those that actually failed is pretty darn slim. I will get it done when I have time but I feel there is and has been a lot of fever...
There are several studies each use some of the same criteria while adding more and different criteria and factoring it all in by percentage. I just picked the one that had TN in the top ten. Just seemed like it fits considering how many times the original poster has been hit by a bad driver.
There is a similar thread on the wrangler forum related to the 3.6, worth a read in my opinion if you have a Pentastar.

Very true statement! I add a 3000 pound boat behind mine and head up the mountain and you never know it’s behind you where torque/power is concerned.
I couldn’t agree with you more. The vehicle is like any tool equipped for certain jobs. The operator of that tool is the key to the actual performance. I know in the early and mid 90’s here in the Appalachian Mountains I have worked tons of single vehicle crashes on snow covered roads all...
It already comes with 100,000 mile warranty on the diesel. The flip side of this is European’s have used a lot more diesel power in the passenger car/truck arena than the U.S. A little background can sometimes be helpful...
I was really happy with the whole experience with them. Mainly the price drop from the window sticker. Most of what I was looking at comparatively equipped were listed 72-73,000. My sticker is 69 and change. I got it for a little under 62. Incentives and rebates helped there as well and the...
Mine is like that almost every available option as well as being a Rubicon. I doubt you will regret the diesel once you drive a 3.6 and get back in the diesel there will be no question. Also if you price a new Rubicon 3.6 it will be a 4005.00 cheaper vehicle as they add that amount for the...
I purchased my 2022 Rubicon eco-diesel last October. Some of what I read are pipe dreams so far as price quoted on different reply’s. I have 62,000 in mine but it’s loaded with options. To get it under 70,000 and get the diesel Rubicon I had to drive 8 hours from home. I ended up with what I...
I have the factory installed bumper that has the removable winch plate so hopefully the added weight will just be the wench and mounting components. I haven’t made a purchase yet so I’m glad you all had some recommendations. I am like you not likely to have to pull it from the mud but you...
