First, let me say that I own a 2012 and I love the Pentastar but I think you were a little too exited here

Congratulations on the upgrade

We should expect the JK diesel around 015,If note sooner. The KJ gets major changes in in that year, The GC gets the diesel in 013.

I have an 11 Rubi. 410 gear with 6spd.
Went to drive the new motor and try it out to see what all the fuss is about.
Drove what they had to offer on the lot. First was 321 gear 6 spd lifted on 35's. It was a dog! Not as much power as my Jeep. Then I drove a 373 gear auto on stock 32's. Way better power. i was impressed. Last I drove a unlimited with 373 gear lifted on 35's with auto. I was even more impressed. Crazy thing is the unlimited on 35's felt as good or even better than the 2door on stock 32's. both had autos. I like it alot, but my Jeep is only about 7-8 months old so I cant convince myself to trade. Do wish I had waited though.

I traded my 11 Rubi for a 12 Rubi and although I only drove 125 miles before it was totaled I was immediately impressed with the acceleration and especially the smoothness of the 5 speed AT.

Can't wait til I get my next one!!
