2020 Jeep Wrangler EcoDiesel: Here's Everything You Need To Know From The Chief Engineer! 

Right on

Yeah I don’t who is this new guy called roman

@Righteous Hmm, what does that say about your cognitive abilities? From where I am sitting, they seem almost non-existent.

Soy Boy

josh smith what state are you in?

Kim Hanthorn Texas.

I think your dealership is lying to you big time about that timing haha. One week from factory to your doorstep?? It’ll be at least a month if not more.

Riley Gallagher my wife’s special order took 10 days after ordering not diesel obviously maybe different

Riley Gallagher The wait is getting the production line ready. To actually create the vehicle only takes a couple days. Same for the train ride to Texas. If the gladiator is any indication those numbers seem solid.

So basically this engine has already been tested and all these posters on here are whining for nothing

Maxey why u hating Just look it up

yup

I believe it adds $6000.00 total...$4000.00 for the engine and $2000.00 for the mandatory automatic.

Maxey 500 mile range ~20 gallon tank. Simple math

@@LS1LT1 i'll stick with gas. Imaging charging , $2000 extra for an automatic in 2019.

Paul Ehlers I read on another video discribing the third gen ecodiesel still consists of the same issue problems as the last model just some of the major parts are bigger or built with different material , but the major part(camshaft) is still pressed, I’m not a mechanic but a mechanic who was familiar with the problems had commented and said that that was a Major problem so it’s just a matter of time til it has flaws like the old one. But of course you can delete it and all and take away the back lash, but hearing that a major component is pressed and not some kindof bolted ? Not sure how reliable that would be, that’s why I ordered a gladiator with 3.6 instead , rather than wait to have a mother eco diesel nightmare as I’ve read over and over again.

@@camberridgeoff-roading3822 The gen-3 hasn't been on the road in owners hands yet, so there isn't any track record for it at this point. I am a retired diesel mechanic and the pressed cam drive gear was a minor issue with the gen-2 Eco's. The big issues were crankshaft bottom end/bearing problems = blown engines and coolant leaks particularly with the EGR cooler. The government has made FCA issue a massive recall for the EGR cooler because they pose a fire hazard & there has been multiple trucks burn to the ground because of the EGR problems. The new gen-3 will have two EGR coolers to potentially go bad. The EPA has cracked down on the aftermarket tune & delete manufacturer's and at present there isn't any tunes available to do a delete even if you wanted to. Because of this there might not be a tune developed of the gen-3. FCA has dug themselves a pretty big hole due to the issues with the Gen-2 ecodiesel & the EPA required emission components that choke & kill the engine.

Anyone wanna take bets this thing blows up like the previous ecodiesels made by fiat?

Long Live my 12 valve cummins with the p pump none of that EPA stuff here

If you want a good solid diesel engine, go find a 6.5 TD takeout from a 2001+ HMMWV. Rock solid - just make sure to add Stanadyne to each tank to keep the ULSD from ruining your Injection Pump. No DEF. No nonsense with not being able to tune your engine. Just simple diesel torque goodness.

Tomasz Ziobrowski except he’s wrong. Jeep has had a diesel in the US many times over the years.

Interested in that aspect too, by Ram Cummins rarely regens because I do plenty of long runs, but on the two occasions I know of, holy cow the smell is horrible, a cross between burning brakes, or clutch, and a skunk.

Hell yeah... 2 door manual would be the shit!

Unfortunately, i bet they never will. Because the DEF tank takes away to much from the fuel tank, and they have no manual available for that torque.

@@BrassJeep And who knows how many other obstacles would be in the way? But still, I would love a 2 door manual...

2 door diesel are available in Europe since the release. As it was for the previous model.

They wouldn’t sell

I was expecting the opposite. Sport and Sahara, no Rubicon. It’s cool they have the confidence to push that much torque through the Rubi’s axles

@@trevorj79 Rubicon has the largest axles of any Wrangler.

Do you guys have the emissions crap on them?

Agree ... but apparently the V6 Diesel can’t fit into the RHD models ... engineering fail.

@@JohnDoe-nz6bk We got the 2.2l diesel here in europe as well, and to answer your question - yes.

Nick Hü that sucks!

Adrian Black sounds like more of an excuse than a reason. Throw money at it, they can overcome obstacles.

Nissan get the American diesel, jeep gets euro crap over controlled rattle box!

cummins makes a 4 cyl diesel

Says a random dude that would never buy one

@@MyDrom I'm still driving my 91 YJ daily, have had more built jeeps than Sema, and in theory, would buy my second ever "new" Jeep if they made a manual trans, Gladiator Rubicon, (and only because I dont want to do an axle swap on a new truck) and diesel. I'm willing to wait a bit, till it's out, and proven, but i dont think jeep will let me put together what i want. But the eco diesel has got to be proven to me. There are two kinds of diesel's today, simple and reliable, or efficient over controlled ratthetrap nightmares built for station wagons in eroupe.

@@goodnough1 and Nissan abandoned using the 5L. In the next gen. They didn't sell worth a damn. Maybe they would if their trucks didn't have 2005 interior, 3/4 ton prices, 3/4 fuel mileage and 0 capabilities of a 3/4 ton. Why spend 65k on it when you can get a 6.7? And that..... is why Nissan failed with it. Oh and as far as Jeep, there's no way the 5L would fit in one.

I'd bet it has an eighteen or nineteen gallon tank in it, considering it has a five gallon def tank to take up room.

BigFrogs4x4 compared to what ?

@@MyDrom well a 4cyl. ;-) but you are correct. Many have little room in the engine bay these days. But my 2.8 dmax in my zr2 has lots of room. When I decide to buy a new jeep I'm not sure what engine I would choose.

Get the fenders out and wala,have all the space of the universe.well ,maybe remove the fenders is another mission

@@mandytuning lol probably a lot bolted to them too

@Professor Liberal Avenger hahaha!

The chief engineer is a manager of the other engineers, he has minions. 🤣

Italian engineers you know, Jeep died when they took over. It’s as they say about fiat, fix it again Tony!

@@snocreature4life ... You may have a point, Jeeps are NOT the most reliable by anyones standard.

Modern jeeps have never been the most reliable vehicle. I'm not talking just the jk and newer. I saying all the way back to the cj.

😂first thing I thought

They sure as shit aint charging 60's prices for it though. What they'll call 'new'.

Daniel Salm I don’t believe urea is flammable.

Brendan Fennell because of the Nazi Democrats! They are the Agenda 21/30 land Nazis. Look it up.👍

Gov regulations.

The lack of towing capacity turns me off the Rubicon, the Grand Cherokee has almost double the 3500lbs. I'm keen to see if the new Bronco will be a robust vehicle like the 1995 I had, or a cynical styling exercise for hipsters..

Imagine if the engine could remain running for 900 miles....

Yea once you get rid of the emissions crap these 3.0l diesels come alive, and get better mileage to boot

@@jamestaylor-qb9wo i have the green diesel engineering tune as well as the egr and dpf deletes (and swirl motor). gets up and runs when i need it to do so....

@Krumblingus actually, this 3.0 and the 2.2 are pretty damn solid engines. the really bad issue with italian cars and their automotive technology in general are electronics which totally suck. this 3.0 crd is the best thing that could possibly happen to the wrangler. I hope we will get it in europe as well as here we have only the 2.2 diesel and 2.0 turbo gasoline

Krumblingus my wife loves her 2019 wrangler with the turbo 4. No issues whatsoever! However, my 2019 longhorn is a different story.

Krumblingus well, she drove it cross country and has put 14,000 miles on it since June. Only issue is her passenger seat and she averages 25 mpg.

@Krumblingus I know it’s fiat , however fiat makes engine fpr many decades ,from small cars to even big truck loaders , Also for the reputation of JEEP the engine got to be solid ,

C7 GT1 Unless the previous info that was released a long time back for the Gladiator has changed the diesel will not tow as much as the pentastar. I believe it was said to be due to cooling capacity. Im sure it will tow easier, just not rated for as much.

Towing capacity and payload also depend on how the frame is designed, suspension, breaks/rotors, cooling as mentioned above, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't know about or understand... I'm guessing that if/when the Gladiator gets a diesel, the towing capacity and payload will remain the same as it is now with the 3.6 gas engine.

DJPelio Roman goofed...the Grand Cherokee does come with a diesel. Not necessarily this Eco Diesel!

Probably to some extent. The frames have to flex more on these since they're offroad oriented. Probably did a slight detune because of that.

Part of the lower torque figure is based on the fact that the smaller grille of the Wrangler can't provide as much cooling as the larger grille of the RAM. The engine also had to be reconfigured to fit in the Wrangler and still afford 30" of water fording.

4Lo trust me you haven’t seen a bad frame until you see the Chevy Colorado’s frame. We have them at the mine and they are about a year old and every single one we have about 15. Has had the lower control arm brackets ripped off, front cross member, and transmission crossmembers. Every. single. one. The amount of driving they get would take a long time for normal owners but a broken frame should never happen

@@justicependray9650 I'd say half a million miles would be early, and I'm guessing you aren't even close to that.

I've been waiting for a diesel for ever. But at these prices I'll be waiting a long long time.

I have a fully loaded diesel rubicon on order $49,500 plus tax

Its a luxury truck for a few fancy Instagram pics. Real Jeeps are Sports, rolly windows and built in your own driveway.

@@89Ayten You are the worst kind of Jeep person. "ReAl JeEpS aRe SpOrTs".
