Bull! The 4cyl is not gutless for 4 wheeling as so many have posted before.
Why all of a sudden a selective memory and now a need for speed to look like
an *** in a built up CJ, YJ, TJ with huge tires going 80+ MPH on the highway?
Just because this is a diesel thread?
Hypocrite!!!!!

Re: [jeep2diesel] Deisel Jeep Conversions
Yup, that's what a diesel is good for, transporting eighty
thousands pounds with one thousand cubic inches at about four miles to
the gallon: http://www.cummins.com/na/pages/en/p...trucks/isx.cfm
Just what do you think would happen to one of your injectors if you
didn't change those giant fuel filters and lube finers.
Maybe your diesette isn't hard to start. But, haven't you ever
driven through a truck stop and noticed all the engines were running
24/7?
God, I was so happy when the Mercedes across the street from me
gave up, knowing no more new Mercedes diesels will ever be sold nor
grandfathered in again, here in God Country.
