Bad news nr. 1
Well I live in Greece, Europe and have a friend working for Chrysler. The news are that max for 09 the JK CRD will get a Euro 5 emissions grade by keeping the same engine. Current 2.8 CRD engine is a Euro 4. I really do not know what are the standards for th US.
Bad news nr. 2
Just to tell ya all how lucky you are..... the CRD 2.8 2dr A/T and H/T costs 43,000 EUROS that is on current exchange rates USD 62,350
and the 3.8 2dr A/T and H/T is at USD 59,740
and still Jeep sells a lot...

I'm going to try to contact Burnsville Offroad and see if they know. They've pulled a ton of the 3.8s to do Hemi swaps on them.

If they are planning a diesel...I hope they will slam a Cummin's Turbo Diesel! A 5.9L inline 6 would be nice.....but the 5.9L weight would be a wee little much on the front end!
The endless possiblities of power output with the 5.9L..... I can just see it.....
DREAMWORLD NOW....... JK with a 5.9L CTD....Edge Juice with hotshot upload & another stackable programmer power chip, propane injection, bigger injectors, bigger turbo & big exhaust.....Endless clouds of black smoke when you get on the go pedal ......PRICELESS!
.....I got to stop dreaming here and come back to the real world!

Oh well. I don't imagine they actually have a reason to. Can't blame them for that.

The Ram 1500 I believe they will offer both, the 4.2L V6 and a lighter duty 5.6L V8 Cummins Turbo Diesel.

I realize the 6.7L was placed in the 2500/3500 ram to met 2010 emissions. The drawback for me in the 6.7L is the power/peformance powerchips on the market don't get the same insane power gains like the 5.9L inline. This may change in the next few months. From what I have been hearing he reason is all the emission junk that has been placed on the 6.7L.

I have both a Grand with the CRD and a JK. The 3.0L MB motor is wonderful. Yes the oil changes are expensive but no more than any other diesel with a particulate filter. Once we see more of them on the road the cost of the oil will start to come down. I would love to have the JK with the CRD!! Once you have driven a diesel off road you will never want to go back to the gas....
