Just wondering if any body else already has a diesel?
I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty CRD with the GDE tune and other minor mods. Overall not a bad vehicle, but not the fountain of economy that I expected. Looking forward to looking at the new Grand Cherokee diesel but having owned one now for a while I will be more knowledable regarding my decision.Just wondering if any body else already has a diesel?![]()
Hi I am an Australia jeep diesel owner with the new grand cherokee. I have had a wide range of diesel jeeps in the past including wrangler, patriot, liberty/cherokee and yes all with diesels. I am being told we will also be getting the new cherokee in diesel here in Australia this year with a Alpha 4 cylinder good for 50 mpg and with stop start technology. It will become the family second car when it arrives.
I am the proud owner of a 2006 Jeep Liberty Limited CRD. 120000 miles and counting!Just wondering if any body else already has a diesel?![]()
I'm about to do my 2nd timing belt at 200K. If Jeep does the job their book rate is 6.3 hours I believe and you can buy a parts kit from idparts.com for around $400, so the total should be in the $12-1300 range. I'm also a fan of the eco tune, had mine for 160,000 of my 200,000 miles. Itow a lot so Iput in the heavy duty torque converter, but my daughter still has the stock in her CRDHave had an 05 Liberty CRD for about 3 yrs. Not the greatest mileage. Had some stupid little issues early on, but now its at 96k. I did find out something interesting. I priced the Timing Belt/Water pump/pullies replacement at 100k... The dealer who knows the most about CRD around me here in the DC area quoted me approx. $2400 for the work. My brother-in-law priced it near him at between $700-1000 (western Ohio).
This thing smokes like a champ.... Much more than the other 3 diesels I own.
Still debating the GDE Eco Tune. But have the re-flash and stock(orig) Torque converter. My youngest daughter will be driving it as her daily shortly.
Had the GDC about a month now and love it. Averaging about 26 mpg so far.
I bought my 2014 eco diesel last december, put 24k miles in it. so far so goodJust wondering if any body else already has a diesel?![]()
Just turned 20k miles on my 2014 Overland JGC diesel with no problems other than some minor interior rattles, which I hear may be caused by the extra bit of vibration from the diesel engine. Had a couple of minor recall items handled with recent service, but so far so good.Just wondering if any body else already has a diesel?![]()
