OK, I'm still new here and a little nervous about sharing due to vast knowledge that I have seen on this forum, but diesel is a topic near and dear to me so here goes.
A friend swapped a cummins 3.3 into '97. the 3.3 is a little smaller, but quieter than the 4BT and can be purchased in a common rail version (so it can be computer tuned). He has seen some pretty good MPG numbers (over 30?) - even with 37" tires. power was not a problem, either - absolutely NO winching in Moab, INCLUDING prichet (but he is also an excellent driver)
Please note in states like California where emissions are a problem this is not an option. However, in Ohio its still viable. Even more viable if you run Bio, like I do. I don't want to share details, but it bolts up to a manual transmission from the 6cyl AMC motor (2006 and prior).
Anyways, I purchased a 2008 4DR X this week and will be swapping in a 3.3 in the future. (Hopefully my winter project!) When I do, I will definitely share.
My biggest concern is figuring out the electronics - yuck!

Biodiesel is the way to go. Specially if you own a Restaurant.
