Also is there any info out there on this Fiat diesel theyre using? Im concerned with reliability and longevity. I used to have a 2500 Cummins 4x4 and it is near impossible to kill one of those engines. I would be a little more skeptical on this Fiat diesel.
Will be nice, here is some Info on the motor

I am sure that Chrysler is well aware of the demand for a diesel in a Wrangler. I would be willing to bet the issue is tooling cost and keeping a doable price tag.

They build Deisel powered Wranglers every day and market them around the world except for Canada / USA / Mexico.
Thanks California emmissions.
Pretty hard to find gas powered anywhere but here.

Don't go blaming the "Peoples Republic of California" for emissions testing. Its true though my state does kinda bite the big one when it comes to anything fun.
