I won't miss the PT Crapper either, but can't wait to see this Wrangler. The article did not say if the Wrangler would be remade, or just updated with the engine.

There needs to be a diesel in a small pickup or small suv period. Great gas mileage, range, and low end power all in one.

Chrysler imported the Nissan diesel that IH put in the diesel Scouts. VW used to have a diesel pick-up. Several companies used to put small diesels in Jeeps back in the early 80's.

Considering all the problems I've had with my current Wrangler, I will NEVER buy another Chrysler product again (nor any other UAW made vehicle for that matter). Now they want 750 dollars plus labor for a new catalytic converter. This is just one in a very long list.
Either way, with NY State laws being what they are, a diesel wouldn't be available to me even if I wanted one - even if it is cleaner and less polluting than a gasoline model.

Same here. Their products SUCK and always have. Thanks a lot UAW. Really, America "thanks" you for what you have done to our once-proud automotive industry.
Now, if they were still working with Dymler/Mercedes - then maybe. THOSE folks know how to build passenger vehicle diesel motors. Quoted:

GOOGLE CUMMINS 4BT CONVERSION! Isn't that outrageously expensive? I know there's one place that's been posted here that does Jeep Diesel conversions, but they wanted nearly $40-50k for the finished product. I'd like a diesel in a TJ, I just don't care for the Jk line. |

The conversion can be done for 5k or less depending on what you start with for donor parts and how much work you do yourself.
I am going to drop a turbo charged intercooled 4bt into my 76 Bronco. |
