Amazing Read…

Didn’t know Arnold had a 1987 Wagoneer, interesting, I wonder if he would be willing to trade for my ’88 Wagoneer,after the mods are done of course. After all the ’88 Wagoneer was the official car of the ’88 Olympics. After reading the article I noticed it is over 2 years old. Asked one of the drivers for Jeep at the auto show if Jeep was considering coming out with a decent diesel engine, you know around 4 litre or so, he said no, how unfortunate. I think Brazil is making something like that and gas is only 28 cents a gallon down there, I think. http://www.scientificblogging.com/humboldt_fellow_and_science/blog/biodiesel_brazil_experience

Actually the Jeep Liberty has a diesel engine option.. just can’t get in California because of emissions (NOx)..

Third paragraph.. also lower down:

Of special note is that Jeep offered a diesel engine option for 2005 and ’06. This 2.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel provided 160 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque.

But considering that Chrysler never got the engine into the Wranger, etc.. it is no wonder the company is where it ended up. Many off-roaders were/are clamoring for a diesel in a Wrangler, particularly the Rubicon. It looks like Fiat may have woken Chrysler up though..

Another interesting take on the diesel wrangler/ semi custom..
