diesel jeeps?

Try some back issues of JPmagazine, I saw a flat fender with a diesel, 'Ol Smokey' I believe he calls it. Failing that call Advanced Adapters and ask them, chances are they've been involved in something like that. Been eyeing up a turbo 4cyl Cummins myself about 105 hp. 4cyl version of the 5.9 dodge..........Now hook that to a NV4500 w/D300 transfercase Oh the possibilities.......
Post what you find out it would be of interest to me I just don't want to change Trans and transfer case cause of $$$$ What kind of engine have you got?

"For enhanced responsiveness Cherokee also offers a 2.5 L turbo diesel with intercooler and electronically controlled fuel injection. It produces 115 HP and 300 Nm of torque." Got that from an Argentina Jeep site. BTW, 300 Nm = 221.2686 lb-ft.

This is from a South American site, regarding the Jeep Liberty: "The turbo-diesel is also new for Jeep, and marks the first time a Mercedes engine has been fitted into a Chrysler vehicle, the unit a thoroughly modern double overhead camshaft common rail four-cylinder that produces 105 kW at 4 000 r/min and a whacking 343 Nm of torque at 2 000 r/min. This makes it far and away the most powerful 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine available in a 4x4 in SA.

Top speed is 164 km/h, and it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 15.3 seconds.

The 2.5-litre engine provides a fuel economy of 7.5 litres/100 km on the extra urban cycle, 11.7 litres/100 km during city driving, and 9.0 litres/100 km on the combined cycle."

105 kW = 140.8073 hp
343 Nm = 252.9838 lb-ft
7.5L/100km = 37.6641 mpg (Imp)
11.7L/100km = 24.1437 mpg (Imp)
9.0L/100km = 31.3868 mpg (Imp)

With fuel economy and torque figures like that, I can live with 30 less hp.

Unfortunately, I don't know if that motor uses the same bellhousing pattern as the stock transmissions. AFAIK, that is a Mercedes Diesel engine which should be quite reliable. Remember that they are a well-known commercial-duty truck manufacturer and the Diesels in their cars have a reputation for durability.

And of course, you'll have to figure out some way to get one of those motors into North America since they are not currently being sold domestically.

The Mercedes Turbo Diesel is common in the older 300 td cars .
I havent got around to pulling it a apart other than the injecters and turbo so far . The injectors have a 2700 max "crack "rate (read more power) The turbo is a t-60 size with lots of tricks that can be done to it .Waste gates can be played with to create lots of boost . Mercedes also has the ports for an exhaust brake with I am in the process of fabbin up with other parts from a 3.9 cummins.I will most likely rip into the engine next week . I can punch this out to give more displacement .

Bore 88.6mm x stroke 88.1mm Max bore 93mm
19:1 compression Max comp 21.2:1
120 hp (no turbo) Havent got that far
296 ft lbs! Havent decide what gears
injectors 2000 lbs/max crack 2700!
custom ground, cams available
operatings RPMs up to 4600

This should be fun as I know someone with one in a Ford Exploder,He has plenty of power and excellent fuel economy.32 mpg.
