I'm sorry if it is just me, but those prices to swap the motor are just ridiculously high. $18-20K for a motor swap......no way.

Current is $5000 for the cherokee diesel and in ram 1500 its around $2600 so who knows where it'll be

I spoke to my dealer not to long ago about the diesel wrangler. If they produce them it's a 5k upgrade. The biggest issue right now is the diesel is floping horribly in the cherokee due to its total cost.

Agreed. Don't understand why they did this. Should have put it into a JK 1st. I believe a lot of JK owners would have loved this...
