Love how you and Shaun are such great ambassadors for tourism BC. Keep up the great work! For the JK, mod for some of the truly crazy trails that you may hesitate to try out with the JL. If not sell!
Very nice result, I drive in the Netherlands with a 2.8 diesel in a JK. Same consumption at 100 km / h. row with 35 inches. It is also my first diesel in years. And it works fine. My diesel is tuned, then it drives really like a beauty. Greetings Rene from the Netherlands
Great that Mike might make it out with you guys again. He's a great guy, and known him for many years, as I don't live to far from him. Take care and be safe
I know it's a little while since this video was posted. However, about a month ago I installed the Banks Pedal Monster and Derringer with the Data Monster on my 2021 JLU Rubicon Diesel. It is seriously unbelievable the performance enhancement. Not to mention as the name implies, how many data points you can capture to understand engine performance. I would love to see a real world test Casey on your Jeep with this upgrade. No I am not sponsored or an anyway affiliated with Banks. I paid full retail in ordering from their site. PS It is not trivial to install for a DIY, but again the results IMO were well worth the effort.
I got my diesel jlur a month ago... today we did a dyno run for just horsepower and mine came out at 245hp.... we hand calculated the torque to be about 423lb-ft at the wheels.... they must have done a power upgrade since you bought yours.
Dynos have a huge array of results and are really only good for comparing prior runs to future runs, but comparing against different dynos will never be consistent.
Good looking JL ... I’ve always stuck with 35s on all my Wranglers. I’m thinking about 37s for my next set, but I don’t rock crawl. We have fire trails here in Northern California & that’s the extent of my wheeling - snow, mud, & the rare sand in Pismo.
Buying a gladiator diesel, gonna run 4:56 gears with 38" tires. Just gonna be my dailey lol. I'm a truck driver and only put 2000 miles on my 4 runner last year. So I'm not really worried about any kind of mileage, just going for looks.....😎
Excellent video Casey. You just reinforced my choice of buying a Wrangler or Gladiator (when available) with a 3.0 eco diesel. I can’t wait to watch your tour showing all the sights in that corner of Canada. When all the restrictions are lifted for travel, I look forward to exploring that part of Canada.
Hey Casey, I just ordered a new diesel Rubicon myself. I'm looking to get started off roading. I'm in BC as well. I'm wondering if you could try to make a video about radio communication in the area, what types of radio are most common, what you'd recommend for group driving, emergency equipment, logging road radio communication with active roads, general etiquette. I've been doing research and find it all a little overwhelming so it'd be a huge help :)
@@Casey250 "Nothing has changed" From JL to JL diesel or JK to JL? I have a JK Rubicon Recon (slightly different axles from the Rubi from what I understand) and run 37's (5.13 R&P) and have only had to replace the lower control arm tabs on the front and the brackets in the rear. However, I don't wheel like an asshole and mudding isn't on my list of "shit to do". Did they not remove the weak FAD on the fronts for the diesel version?
Nice info to know Casey, I think that makes my choice even more exciting. Really looking forward to getting mine. Keep on posting. Really nice to see whats really happening with the EcoDiesel.
Over 20K, well earned brother! Did you know I was sub 700? Anyhoo, 410’s might not be a bad investment and maybe...maybe...we should talk about tuning 😬. Thanks for the huge effort you put out for us in these vids man ✌🏼
Gasoline is cheap in the States right now., at least in the Midwest at around $2.20 a gallon. Diesel is around $2.35, so it might be a better investment going diesel with 24 mpg on the highway vs 19 in the 3.6.
I really want to know what you think of those tires now, how are they in the snow and mud? And would you pick a different tire if you were to do it over again, I have a 2 door 2021 rubicon and going to do a 3.5 inch lift, still not sure what tire I want to go with, im going to be wheeling in northern Ontario with lots of rocks, mud and snow, thanks
Great video! What ratio does the JLUR eco-diesel use? 3.73s? I'm curious to see what adding say 4.56 gears to your axles would do to torque and fuel econ numbers ...
You don't want the diesel with a to short ratio, while this trick works with the naturally aspirated petrol engines, the diesel wants to use its torque because it's built for exactly that situation. With looking at the numbers he gets and looking at the numbers from my jk diesel I'd say better leave it a bit on the long side than on the short when talking axle ratio.
MazeVX some of the non rubicon diesel JLs on 31” tires have returned 32mpg at 65mph which sounds pretty optimal to me. the easiest way to calculate the best ratio for bigger tires IMO would be this simple formulate 3.73/31 = X/37 37x3.73 = 138.01/31 = 4.45. Closest ratio would be 4.56. A touch extra to spool the turbo slightly sooner to accommodate the weight increase seems dead on accurate to me.
@@mattbrew11 calculation is obviously correct, I would trust the torque, but we see it a bit different. Somehow it depends on your average highway speed.
@@Casey250 really looking forward to it. It's incredible expensive for us to travel there and you have to have bookings and such to get a tourist visa... Not much real world cooperation between the countries overseas unfortunately
It looks like peak to peak it's down about 21 ft. lbs. Their peaks occur at different RPM's however. You are fighting the weight of the wheels and tires. The other issue is the tires increased contact patch and the drag that is caused by the aggressive tread pattern. All in all the fuel mileage isn't that bad. Traveling at 60 mph sounds like the sweet spot for the best fuel mileage. Between the drag of those tires and the "Brick" shape, (Aerodynamic Drag), of the Wrangler, 60 MPH might work out best for you.
Its closer to 50 peak to peak but also that peak is much later in the rpm and the diesel doesn't gave a high redline so it isn't in peak torque for long now.
@@Casey250 The peak with the 37" tires is 342 ft. lbs. The peak with stock tires is 363 ft. lbs. those peaks occur at different RPM's. Watch the video at 14:22 and listen to what he says. Pause it at 14:24 and look at the highlight graph box, "342"tq 3157 RPM's.
I’m a big muscle car guy as well as a jeep wrangler guy I would love to see the The Corvette more in the videos when you take it out this coming weekend I want to see some burnouts donuts hot rod it lets see what the Corvette Has. Question for your Q and A. would you put a V-8 in the JK and keep it? Love yours and Shauns videos 🤘🏻
Hey Casey. Have a question for ya. Have had two eco-diesels before. One was in a 2014 Cherokee summit that I tuned and deleted and ran great (after the delete) the second is in my wife’s current wrangler (stock everywhere) My question is. I’ve just purchased an eco-diesel gladiator that I’ll get next week. Im now on to choosing lift and tires. I was going to go 2” with 37x12.5x17. However, as new to lifts etc my question for you is this. The gas pots that have 37s are claiming not able to hit 8th gear and sometimes not even 7th. What have you noticed with any of this with your rig? Sorry for long winded question. Vancouver newb looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance
If your going over 90km/h you should see 8th gear all the time. I've been cruising in 8th gear at 110, going up hill, and others in gas have shifted as low as 8th, but the diesel just putts along with its torque.
@@Casey250 sorry to keep reaching out but learning as I go along. Again, as you’ve now got the 37s, lift and I presume quite a few kms on it. Have you, or have you thought about the need to re-gear from your 4.10s? Shop I went to today said that if wanting 37s that I should be re-gearing. However, at best I’ll do some overlanding but by no means do what you, Shaun and your pals do.
Trade the JK for some 40's. A 6 pack of Olde English 40's are about all its worth. Living in the city I don't get to see to many overland jeeps. Saw one with 37" tires and bead locks. They were massive. I would have 2 sets. A road set and these brutes.
@@Casey250 I was looking forward to exploring BC this year. My spirit was broken by Covid. You helped me put this as my number 1 priority for next year. Thank you. The commenter that said BC tourism should sponsor you is right on. Remember balance. That beautiful little girl deserves her dad more than we do buddy.
so if you had to do it over again would you still get the diesel wrangler or diesel gladiator? im planning on purchasing one or the other but still cant decide on which way i want to go.
I think a gladiator but for a specific reason, and that is that with a half rack, I could add a roof top tent and stay under 7 ft for the ferry I have to take all the time.
In the event of re-gearing the Eco-Diesel Jeep, what is the recommended gear to go with for 37's? 4.56 or so! Just asking your opinion or what you ay have heard!
It was late in the day and I we already know the power loss expectations for 4wd based on the prior dyno time. The power on the trail and with 4wd is almost irrelevant and on the highway is where its most valuable anyways in 2wd.
In the future can u just put the information you have posted on the heading ,.... and then give all your shout outs and other stuff? We waste several minutes hearing you talk about stuff that we're not concerned with. Things you can say at the end of the video for people who want to sit here for 15 minutes. That would be awesome. I think 10 minutes is wasted before even getting to the Dyno stuff. Thank you, Good video other than the water off time in the beginning 👍🏼
@@Casey250 I know, the point is you didn't even get to the information that he posted in the TITLE until 12 minutes into the video 😥 I would prefer that he just posted the information he had lines with. So doesn't waste a bunch of our time and then the people that want to hear all the extra stuff can just watch the video to the end
My wife and I work hard, every week, every year, and have done so for nearly 20yrs. We don't waste money. We spend and invest wisely. Prioritize what is important to meet our goals. We enjoy life as much as we can. Travel. House. Cars (that is a me thing, not my wife haha). We focused hard through or 20s and most of our 30s, and now can share all of that with our daughter as she grows up.
