The JK is programmed for a 2.8L 4 Cyl. CRD - same motor as the Diesel

Too bad you can't get that V10 Audi Diesel coming soon to a mall-trail
crossover Audi near you. Possibly even California if the urea system
and all works out. Too bad you can't keep the exhaust clean with a more
organic urea injection system--a tube from the drivers seat.
