Re: Diesel engines: better low-end torque?
I have no bitch at all about the diesels used in pick up trucks
pulling trailers at fifty five miles an hour, that's what they were
designed to do. Their pollution is just a fact of life:

Re: Off Topic Violation Re: Diesel engines: better low-end torque?
The JEEP Website doesn't say what engine this is but it appears to be
a VM. The upside is that they have a great rep for reliability: they
are however an all-electronic engine. I want a mechanical diesel,
which is why I'm looking into importing a 4.2 liter Nissan-apparently
it's the same Mopar bolt pattern as the SD33/CN6-33 and, the most
common sump and pickup are in the back. Apparently Aussies have put
them in CJs already, so I should be able to benefit from their
experience.
I really look forward to seeing these little buggers at America's
truck stops.

Have one already, been here in the UK for a couple of years, I can
highly recommend it. I get around 30 to the imperial gallon (about
25 to the US gallon). It's amazingly quiet, the only time you really
notice it's a diesel is when it's idling. The diesel is ultra low
sulphur over here so it's no more polluting than a petrol engine, but
considering the MPG difference then clearly it is better.

12% is BARELY??? I wouldn't mind getting "barely" more fuel mileage in my
Jeep, or "barely" more money in my paycheck,...

Jeep seems to think they can meet the standards. They must not read this
newsgroup, eh? I still think you should call them and offer your
expertise. I'm sure your anecdotal evidence of diesel problems would make
for some lively coffee break humor. :P Heck, I'll even join in with my
explainations why different diesels smell differently,... like how some
trucks smell like they're burning orange peel oil. ;)
