Hm you do seem a bit biased now. I followed your links and they didn't prove anything.@Eccracer104, I debated whether or not to post what I did specifically because I know there are people like @ilovebikes99 that think the diesel platform is great. And for them, it is. But there are also several other examples of pure frustration. Two that come to mind:
- This one, where the parts needed were backordered and the original owner dumped it rather than wait on a fix.
- This one, where the guy had possession of it for less time than it's been in the shop:
Just do some research and be prepared to make the right choice for you. I originally wanted the diesel, but there were just way too many cons and points of potential failure. The right Jeep to have put a diesel in would have been the TJ - too much electronics and emissions gear get in the way now (IMO).
First guy is a youtube content guy who over dramatized a weep and traded in the truck because he ran out of content to make.
Second guy just had an ECU problem. ECU problems happen on many cars and there wasn't any other gladiator diesels with failed ECUs. So not sure what you're banking here but it seems like you're slandering diesels with some bias.
You can find many more posts of Pentastar engines granading.
