Hello. I’m new to this thread. I have extensive and expensive experience with diesel after treatment systems, with class 8 trucks.
I don’t know a lot about 3.0 liter Diesels. I purchased a 2014 Jeep gc eccodiesel new and it was problem free up to 77k, except for a cattilitic converter replaced under warranty. At 77k I kept getting a check engine light but no reduction in power or other noticeable issues. I purchased extended warranty when I bought new, so the dealer kept fixing it at no cost and gave me a loaner each time. However, they would have it for 3-5 days and it would go back on within 2 days after picking it back up. I t was too much of a hassle, so I traded it in on a new gc with a 5.7 hemi. My ED was used for my daily commute of 90 miles round trip at 65-80 mph. I attribute that to not having some of the problems others have had. IMO the worst application for a diesel is in town or short runs. You Have got to keep the particulate filter clean by running at higher rpms for longer periods of time.
Anyway, I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Rubicon and love it, 5200 miles so far. I am also considering a Ram 1500 ED, I’m thinking 3.92 ratio as opposed to 3.21. I was hoping to find some reassurance on this site or other, that the current generation ED, is solid. I am obsessed with low end torque and the drivability of diesels. Over and out.
