Dan, did you put that Mercedes diesel into your TJ, or do you still have a petrol mill under the hood?

I put it into a JK, then it blew up, so I got rid of the whole thing, and bought another JK that has the stock 3.8 gasoline engine.

Gas.

Consumer grade diesels aren't reliable enough. I don't tow enough to need a diesel. Buying a diesel for two piddly cross country trips per year is silly IMO. The modern gas engines can do that just fine.

Would I rather have a diesel? Sure. If it was hardly any more expensive than a gas engine. If it was reliable. If it was similar in weight (diesels are boat anchors offroad).

Our white unicorn of the month: a lightweight reliable diesel engine, 400+ ft/lbs torque, decent hp, minimal cost of admission to the show.

Holding breath now...
