[getlost4x4]

I was just in the junkyard and found a Cherokee with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel. There isn't any transmission attached to it.

I'll attach some pictures

There was an option of I think one or two years for a diesel. The catch with them is it is an oddball motor and you cannot get arts for it. To what i have read they where junk as well. If you have one and it runs you have a rear find.

I'm pretty sure the diesels in the XJ's were more popular up here in Canada - usually used on mine sites from what I've heard.
I don't know who the manufacturer of those engines was though, nor how good/reliable they were or what power #'s they put out.

They offered it pretty cheap. But I don't know if it worth it

Diesel XJ

I think they used a Renault engine for the diesel. It had around 80-85 hp and 130+ lb-ft of torque, Solid find if you can bring her back to live. Diesels make great overlanders.

There was a company some years back who specialized in Renault diesel conversions to CJ's. ok, a lot of years back. lol

:Wow1: So many years ago I've forgotten. It was Peugeot conversions they did, not Renault. It was reportedly a very good engine.
