Diesel Conversion, First Drive

Wow! Just Wow!

I didn’t realize just how conditioned I had become to dreading, scoping, planning, and grabbing momentum for every uphill.

The Wee Rover now just wants to pull and pull. Granted we still haven’t put her back together into traveling form so she was very svelte, but Wow! I found myself jabbing the throttle on the hills just to feel her jump forward.

More to follow as we settle in with the new motor.

Next up, 200 miles of breaking in, and her first oil change.

Tidbit: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

    1. Hi Richard! You would like the turbo, it gooooeeeeessssss. Thanks for telling Darrin about the heater. We are debugging it and I predict warm toes from here on out!

  1. Bought a diesel Grand Cherokee last year. Really like the torque, especially when towing. No more revving the engine for hills, just let it pull down and keep pulling.

    1. Hi bob, congrats on your new Jeep. If your diesel motor is anything like ours, boy does it go!!! We went up 2,000ft today without a thought, zipped right up it!
