The gas KJ is superior to the CRD KJ.

Discuss.

gas is wayyy better.

I like that I don't have to spend 3 grand on upgrades to have the motor work properly and not self destruct. I wouldn't mind getting 30 mpg though the_finger.gif

3.7's are much more common, therefore there are more used parts to be found.

haha discuss minions. I don't know much about the CRDs, except they are able to sound pretty cool. But my vote still goes to 3.7

The only thing I don't like about the CRD is the short-long CV thing... The have better fuel economy, better auto transmission (5-45RFE) and an insane amount of torque at low RPM... I think the 2.8L CRD with VG Turbo it's a badass...

All that being said, I still prefer my V6 gasser... Diesel vehicles have inspection every 4 months here... that it's ridiculous!

Cheers!

You're just jealous because automatics are technologically superior in every way

 

[kjweston]

hahahahahahha

And that has to do...what with the issue at hand? You are such a dumb..ss at times. CRD's came with auto's as well you ingnorant...whatever.

Stupid elitist Euro-trash and your stupid diesels.

 

[eyehatetofu]

You only have to spend 4k when you hit 100k miles for another one of those minivan engines, while ours can go 300k easy

I don't keep vehicles that long; so your point is moot

You folk overseas have a different CRD right? The 2.5 CRD. Or was that only the early years before the 2.8? Either way I have heard yours aren't fawked with like the US ones due to emissions standards and other bureaucratic nonsense. If the damn thing worked like it should without a ton of work needed, and a maintenance schedule that is mind boggling, I would love a diesel. All that extra torque would make my shorts tight!

Oh great, another global warming The-Sky-Is-Falling Chicken Little response from some limp wristed Socialist from Europe.

Big shocker there.

There are about 12 million threads on CEL lights on your gasser so..what are you implying.

TBJ, I know where you live. It's only a 6 hour flight.....Kick.gif

Diesels are far superior to gassers and the USA would do itself a favor if it would embrace it like Europe has.

But no, you would rather kill us all by global warming because you don't give a rats patooty what happens to the rest of us as long as it is not happening in the US of A. Great. Thanks.

haha this is true.. I just saw this post right when you were advocating CRDs felt it necessary to link..

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

So how many 3.7 guys have had bad seals in the turbo lead to a runaway engine?

I am not sure if this is friendly banter or seriousness. I don't care either way as it brings the funny.

You are wearing eye caps like the rest of your egocentric inhabitants of the colonies.

Gas engines are on their last legs. Period.

Yeah, and in 1917 the world was running out of oilleghump.gif

Ladies and gentlemen... I've traveled over half our state to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because my new well was coming in at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it. That well is now flowing at two thousand barrels and it's paying me an income of five thousand dollars a week. I have two others drilling and I have sixteen producing at Antelope. So, ladies and gentlemen... if I say I'm an oil man you will agree.

I've never experianced the CRD, so I can't comment on it, I do however run the 3.7 with no fuss.. I also drive the shit out of it, and it doesnt *****.

even tho it gets 10 miles to the gallon, eats a quart of oil faster than I can eat a cheeseburger, and sometimes belches smoke out the exhaust.. I grin every time I turn the key, the sound of the 3-4 cranks it takes to fire followed by the cylinders coming to life.. love it.

now if only it was lifted with some sort of M/T ..

edited: re-phrasing.

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Think of a GC HEMI, but then a Libby 4 ****** turbo.

And then imagine it breaking all the time.

That's a CRD KJ

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Don't need or want to know about the CRD. Its engine is made in Italy alongside garbage heaps from Fix It Again Tony and Lancia.
