More information has come out on the AEV forums:
"The Mopar program is trying to use the T1 (military TJ) parts primarily. One of the biggest performance differences between that version and the liberty is the non-variable turbo. I haven't driven a T1, but I understand they do pretty well. The T1 version is WAY simpler, no EGR, no variable turbo, no Viscous coolant heater, no AC (I don't know what Mopar has planned for that), no cruise control, etc...It has about 1/10 the amount of wiring, and would be a great motor to have in a Jeep."

The 2.8 CRD would pass 45 state emissions or better, its just a few states that are keeping these motors out of the US. The other fact is that Diesel costs more than gas now in the USA, this is ridiculous IMOO. The excuse that the low sulfur diesel requirement is making this happen is poopycock! In 90+% of European countries this isn't the same...and they have stricter fuel standards than we do. Its true that diesel still costs more per gallon in Europe, but the ratio of gas vs diesel prices is still backwards.
I'm glad that diesel engines have so many alternative fuel options. I'm about to go gorilla and just start making my own fuel. There are a LOT of options out there for someone that wants to put in a little extra work ( and with fuel near $4 a gallon its worth my time! ) and make or grow there own fuel. Big oil is making me angry. Fuel prices keep going up along with barrel prices....but they keep having RECORD profits every quarter! Ok....trying not to rant.....rant mode off.......think calming thoughts......
