    diesel Grand Cherokee mpg

    Hopefully you adjusted your tire pressures for the 120mph....just like when you air down to go off-road you need to air up at those speeds.

    this week's Wrangler rumor: no manual trans for 2017

    The 5 speed in the Wrangler is a hoss...W5A850 is the designation. If you are interested do a google and you will read about how robust it is and the different vehicles it is in...even a Porsche 911.

    Tell Me Why I Shouldn't Buy a WK CRD!

    They are not for everyone, but it is cool have the diesel and showing up to an Expo event in something other than a 4Runner or a Wrangler...:wings: That being said when my CRD dies I will move over to a 4Runner or a Wrangler...:smiley_drive:

    Tell Me Why I Shouldn't Buy a WK CRD!

    I guarantee the Ford dealer is not going to touch that potential issue with a 10ft pole...if ain't leaking it must be ok is there mentality. There is a good chance that it is ok, but some of the guys running CRDs in Canada have taken a beaten. It is a relatively easy fix to repair the tank...

    Tell Me Why I Shouldn't Buy a WK CRD!

    I wish there was a plastic replacement tank for the WK...would remove the rust issue and save a couple of pounds.

    Tell Me Why I Shouldn't Buy a WK CRD!

    That is a QD2 system..there should also be a label on the center of the dash just in front on the center cup holders that says Quadra Drive II I would do a count of the bolts though in person.

    Tell Me Why I Shouldn't Buy a WK CRD!

    WRONG...The 2007-2008 WK CRD has the OM642 Mercedes V6. The engine is very reliable and powers hundreds of thousand Mercedes, Sprinters, Jeeps and Chrysler cars all over the world. @UtahKJ....The first thing to do is get the GDE Tune..440lb/torque is just great...it will also eliminate the...

    this week's Wrangler rumor: no manual trans for 2017

    The days of manuals getting better MPG are long gone. I actually would be surprised if any OEM in North America is spending any money on making manual transmissions more efficient...hell Jeep does not even put the correct amount of fluid in them....:smiley_drive:

    this week's Wrangler rumor: no manual trans for 2017

    Manual are a dying breed...it is not only Jeeps. Class 8 tractors are slowly losing the 10 speed manual transmission as well. To meet EPA/GHG requirements truck OEMs are having to transition to Automated Manual Transmissions to maximize fuel economy. I wonder if back in the day the guy...

    WJ/ older GC

    I would look at one of the V8 WKs also....newer vehicle and you can get the QD2 or QT2 4x4 systems which provide a 4LO. QD2 has electronic lockers fr and rear. Both systems are pretty much unstoppable in the snow. Parts are readily available. Both the WJ and WK are not known for vast...
