Good day Chaps,
id like to discuss a bit about the 2014 JGC Diesel, but not how awesome the power is or quiet or fuel efficient.
Everyone seems to talk on this forum about lipstick and rouge, not enough technical convo happens, details that in my opinion don't really matter to me.
anyway on to my point, the last jeep that had a diesel had a very respected 3.0 CRD from Merc. my dad currently has this vehicle since new and apart from the swirl motor and leaky intake tube its been perfect, it has the GDE eco tune and runes like a champ.
on to the present day, this is also a 3.0 diesel but not from Merc. but VM motori. digging a bit further into this its half owned by GM and Fiat. now im from European decent and Fiat is considered a KIA or Hyundai in Europe, its not a oouuu woww brand. they are not known for great cars.
the other half is GM, and my personal opinion of gm is welll... if i have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all as my mom used to say.
Sooo, I am planning to purchase a 2014 Diesel limited trim with least amount of options, you may think the QL system is awesome, I see it as a a piece of shit that will break in 6 years and cost me $4000 to fix.
I plan to keep it for 15+ years.
so after all that
what is your view on the VM motor? is it proven, will it become a POS.
