Eco Diesel in the Rocks and Overlanding

[Daniel Snider]

Which JT trim did you go with? Based on you going to 35s with mo lift, safe to say a JTR?

Yeeesssss....... a JTR for sure
been waiting for a looooong time for the right specs... except for color, I wanted Mojito Green, but alas, it never came. So the wife just said get a black one and wrap it any color you want. So that’s what Im doing.

I was originally waiting until the diesel was released and then changed my mind to gas. With that being said, not waiting for the diesel is my only regret and I LOVE my Gladiator. I only had diesel regret when I went with a friend for a test drive of a diesel wrangler. Holy hell, I almost tried to talk my wife into buying one because it was that great and had plenty of ads behind it if you understand my point. There is nothing wrong with that engine.

And I think that's why I hate my wife's 3.6 in her '18 GC so much. Previous '15 GC had the eco and its not even a close comparison of the 2. Its like comparing Lance Armstrong on a bike to a 95 yr-old grandmother using a walker.

Is the grandmother using EPO? If she is and Lance isn’t, It might be a fair race...

I really like the idea of the diesel, but it’s not yet proven reliable.

With the prior gen diesel we had, we had zero issues up until 52k miles when the turbo inlet line blew and the tech completely botched reassembling everything which resulted in diesel all throughout the engine bay and smell inside the cab. Traded it in the following day for the 3.6 gas at a competing dealership, which I regret the 3.6 part but I wanted nothing to do with the old GC at that point and finding out what else the tech screwed up.
