Thanks for the info - sounds like the only problem will be a lag, but should be fine overall.
Jeep looks good! I don't know why I am surprised with how good it looks just by adding the wheels to the stock tires, but I am.........good job.Hello All, UPDATE: Took Delivery on 10/26. Ordered it back in July. Right now, I'm AVG about 23MPG Overall. Highway at about 70MPH I was getting 26-30 and at 65MPH was getting about 28-33MPG. Diesel definitely more Economic than gas. Power band is honestly amazing.. Torqy as heck. No problem accelerating ever at 70-90 MPH. She is quick... Now, honestly i don't drive like that normally just the first day could not be more excited lol. I took her to a nearby trail.. Was not even worth it - this thing needs much more rugged terrain to see what she has to offer, honestly was like driving on pavement even though I was on gravel and fields. Rain gutters was a little annoting but every jeep throughout all the years, have had that drippage. Little rain leaks from rain gaurds.... Now, i already did a mod on it. Upgraded the wheels to 17x9 Pro Comp Prodigy, kept the stock tires because there so nice. The upgrade from stock to 17x9 honestly made a difference - all trucks always have a little top heavy feeling. But switching to the 17x9 the tires stick out an extra two inches and honestly rid the top heavy feeling and my gas milage even went up like .5 mpg overall - was suprised. Any aftermarket wheels are gonna require new lug nuts. Spline m14x1.50 did the trick. but any aftermarket M14x1.50 Lug nuts will get your rims on.
NOW - I do have a serious question. I thought i ordered the engine block heater.. but its not showing up on my build sheet. I did some research and apparently all Diesel Wranglers come equipped with engine block heaters and the "engine block heater upgrade." you pay for upon ordering is actually just for an ac chord? This is what i read on Wrangler Diesel Forums... Wondering if this is same for JT Can anyone shed some light on the engine block heater? and if they know where its located/ac chord located. Or if there all equipped or not? First Time Diesel owner lmaoo
Still trying to come up with a name for her. I'm thinking "SilverBack," The Gladiator. Gorilla Diesel baby. lmaooo
Yeah i was surprised to.. but its the 17x9 that really does it. the stock rims are 7.5'' width and makes the tire more skinny and tall. the recommended wheel for a 285/70r17 tire is a 17x9 rim, so honestly make the tire thicker and stick out more love it, and not going to far off factory is nice.
What are you doing to it?Diesel is here...let the tear down begin! Its all coming off.
What? Dozens and dozens of people have received theirs. If you ordered a month ago, you still have some time to wait.Hi All, any newer updates? I ordered back in mid December, and it sounds like they might still be looking for parts. Just wondered if anyone is seeing movement on their orders? Diesel Rubicon, so that may delay things
Welcome. I started this thread when the order books opened for the EcoDiesels back in July so that all of us who ordered them at that time could compare notes as to what we were hearing regarding the build and delivery process. Since the initial wave of Eco Diesels has been delivered, not much has happened with this thread. My presumption (I have no facts) is that they continue to take orders and build them with customary lead times. However, if there is a slowdown in the process of getting EcoDiesels, this would seem to me to be an appropriate place to discuss it.As expected
Thanks for starting this thread. This is the first time seeing it and need to read through some of the old posts. I’ve been over on the Order, Pricing, etc. track. I ordered a diesel overland on the 4th, and I have been told by my dealer that the build is scheduled for the week of February 8th - all parts have been procured! I’ve seen non-diesel buyers ordering around the same time as me either receiving soon, or waiting on transportation.
