I have no idea, but I will say this. I just traded in a Liberty CRD on my wrangler. Why you ask?

Because I lost 4 injectors and it cost me $3600 just for the parts. $900 each

I even thought of installing them myself, but it turns out you have to connect to the computer with a chrysler scan tool to program the flow rates for the new injectors. so parts are insanely expensive, and you can't work on it yourself.

When they run, they run great, but I couldn't risk another repair that costly.

just my 2 cents,

I think if I just had to have a diesel I'd look at a cummins 4bt swap. All mechanical diesel, very stout, easy to work on and very common.

the 4bt cummins might weigh a bit much though
