i was wondering what i could do to get better fuel mileage the 3L? i havent found many sites helpful in this. i was looking for 30 mpg and getting rid of the cat and egr.
If only the US govt. would ease restrictions on which vehicle were allowed to be run with diesel engines, then more people would be driving a diesel powered vehicle. Damn those guys! We should be allowed to decide what vehicles we drive, not them.
I have yet to see a diesel Jeep so yall cant make fun of me for asking this question, but can you get them to blow out black smoke like the big trucks do?
@tripovermyego No, as cool as that is, the mercedes engine in these jeeps are designed to run much cleaner than the diesels in 3/4 and 1 ton trucks run. No black smoke.
Though maybe it is possible to get it to do so when custom programming, just get the injectors to throw in more diesel fuel than there is air avaliable to burn it and you'll get black smoke. Gotta program it to do that manually though, even any possible aftermarket tuners probably wouldn't make much black smoke.
I would've thought that Jeep went with Mercedes instead of Chrysler. If Chrysler went under or was bought by someone, at least Jeep would've still be around.
I've always loved SUVs, what I've always hated was the fuel economy one has to expect from SUVs. A diesel engine should be required on SUVs of all sizes.
there not scared its just the american goverment wont let the car companys use diesels engines becauses of amercas stricked emission laws these people have maybe never seen a diesel engine before lol
umm.... yes we can have diesel engines in our cars. i have an audi a4 3.0 tdi and i bought it in the united states. it was made in germany though. i think ur trying to say we cannot make them here. but we can buy them from outside of the us.
@supertommy33 cars from other countries are expensive most of the time and then you have to pay to get it shipped over to the u.s. And also they do make diesel cars in the us because Mercedes has a car plant in Alabama and also ford gm and chrysler make cars with diesel engines and there made here in the u.s. instead of paying some person in iraq thats going to take our money and do bad things with it
Have you seen American full sized pick ups? International/Navistar built Powerstroke the Duramax and the Cummins motors are all diesel and commonly found in many full sized trucks. Diesel cars aren't popular because american's prefer gas engines in normal cars.
God you suck, it's an SUV thats very good fuel economy. We don't all want to drive 5 HP go carts like the fu*king Europeans. This is a great vehicle and I am sad to hear Chrysler discontinued the Diesel version because of the damn emission laws.
actually....its chrystler...and if theyre on their last leg than why is dodge the only one that actually is sticking to the plan on putting out a 1/2 ton diesel and putting the same engines in the durangos...anyhow how, what would you consider a good mpg rating on an suv????? and ive read many places of these getting 22-26 mpg's, which again, for an suv is outstanding. any how, fuck european cars and just their whole way of life in general
@texazranger04 I agree completely up to the last statement, european cars are good for one thing, and EXTREMELY good at that one thing... on-road and track performance. I would still use the Dodge Viper before a BMW though... Audi would have to convince me but it wouldn't be hard for them to do so.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Did he say 80 to 90 MPG? not bad the new Ford feista does 88 MPG, my car does around 74 MPG. hhmmm....think he said 18 to 19 MPG!? is this still possible, typical American junk can't even do over 20 MPG. Disgusts me.
You seem to have no idea about diesel engines, exept the ones in your big trucks like Peterbilt, Kenworth, Mack and others. There are perfect Diesel engines for cars out there, just learn about it. Did you ever hear from the Bluetec Diesel engine? It's from Mercedes-Benz and they are perfect. They dondt guzzle, you have a lot of torque and an excellent mileage compared to gas engines. And they run smooth.
It will not run, Gas need ignition (spark) and diesel need heat and compression. Nice Jeep, I hope Chrysler makes the 3.0l T an option in the 2009 Wrangler.
Actually, it'll run just fine on gas. Gas requires less energy to ignite than diesel. Hence why diesel doesn't ignite very well from a spark. The problem is that gas does not lubricate as well as diesel so it will ruin the fuel injection system.
Multi-fuel diesel engines have a special fuel injection system that don't need that lubricity.
@Maxzillian I think you need to do your homework; If you run a Diesel engine on gas, you will ruin it. I've been driving personal vehicles since 1985 and never heard of Diesel that runs on gaz except for the tractor engine from the 50's that you would start on gas and switch on diesel.
I agree, that is why I said it'd ruin the injection pump in my original comment. However, the pump aside, the engine will run off of gasoline just fine. Engine timing may need to be tweaked due to the differences in combustion speed between the fuels, however.
Multi fuel engines aren't very common. The only application I can think of off the top of my head is some military transport trucks.
@Maxzillian: Are you completely retarded? What timing? It's a DIESEL, you moron. There is no timing. If you run gas in your diesel, I'd pay money to watch it run. I guess knowing nothing about a subject is no reason not to comment, right?
@RuloMelko You mean to tell me that with a diesel engine you can inject the fuel whenever you want and it'll just run? Is that right? Heck, and all this time companies have been wasting resources developing systems that can inject the fuel more precisely when all this time we could have just been throwing it down the intake manifold!
Fact of the matter is, the fuel must be injected at the correct time of the cycle for the engine to run correctly. If that's not timing, then please, educate me.
@RuloMelko: This is the funniest thing i have heard. Timming in a diesel refers to the degree at which the fuel system injects fuel during the compression stroke. You can advance timming to change the characteristics of how the engine performs.
Don't call people morons when you don't know what your talking about.
@Maxzillian Theres a reason why theres a difference in diesel and gasoline. You may get that diesel engine to run for a few seconds but its gonna cause so much damage that you might as well go buy a new vehicle. If you wanted to burn gas, then buy a gas motored vehicle. If you want diesel, then buy a diesel motored vehicle.
@Maxzillian : I own a 2004 Golf TDi and a 1984 300D and be driving diesel vehicles since 1985. I drove most of my Volkswagen (6 of the ) my Mercedes ( I am on my 3rd ) and my dielel Land Cruiser over 350,000 to 400,00 km and would never have put gas instead of diesel. You can go up to 50% if you don't have other fuel but it is better to avoid. With gas, you have less power.
@unimogman404 Absolutely correct on every front. Attempting to run a diesel engine that is not made for multi-fuel on gas can cause serious damage to the engine. Specifically it will cause the injection system to fail due to a lack of lubrication.
The Cherokee Diesel, which they sold in the US for less than a year, uses Mercedes 3.5L Bluetec V-6. The Liberty diesel, which they also cancelled in the US, a 2.8L.

@canadacatalyst The real problem is that the transmission is geared too low for offroading.
I've heard of people replacing the rear differential on a 2WD model.
Unless they have a transmission with five or six gears that will work you are stuck with subpar mileage.
