Update: Diesel, 3.6BSG, Hybrid, JT, Profit Sharing, 2020MY

[JlEngineline]

No word yet on the 3.0 Diesel Engine. Haven't built one in a few weeks.
We have been building the 2.2 Diesel Engines, both LH and RH drives

Built a few 3.6BSG engines. Still no word on if or when we will build them for production.

It has been confirmed that the JL side will be shut down for 3 weeks (Rumor:could be 5 weeks) to begin the re-tool for the all new Plug-in Hybrid Engine.

All JT workers are reporting back Monday 3/11/2019 for training.

This year's profit sharing check was the biggest one I have had since I have been working at Jeep. I want to thank each and every one of you that purchased an FCA product in North America. (will only get a cut of North American sales).

2020MY is scheduled to start July 22nd. *Subject to change

Here is are pictures of the production calendar and profit sharing numbers.

Not sure how long Gladiator training is, but it sounds like they will start building soon. Very exciting!

I wouldn't hold my breathe on a manual/diesel combo.

The Gladiator with the 3.0 diesel will be automatic only and the export 2.2 diesel model is also automatic only.

FCA doesn't have a light-medium duty manual transmission to handle the increased torque.

@JlEngineline - Can you chime in here - https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...s-addresses-steering-issues-68394087aa.25299/ ? Tried to send you a private message, but your profile won't allow private messages.

There are a couple of questions about supply chain and the new JL track bar and drag link just announced to fix the steering issues.

any ideas on the rumors for 'limited editions' in 2020?

Grats on the profit sharing, always good to see the workers get a piece of the action when a company is doing well. Thanks for sharing the info you do, it's very helpful. Really looking forward to seeing you guys start churning out those diesels for N.A.

I'm very interested in this also. I'm officially on board the 2020 MY waiting club now and eager to hear what will be changed/new/available.

July orders for 2020? Am I reading that correctly? I’m guessing delivery around 8 weeks later. Is that correct, as well?
