The user at this linked site used to be a regular participant on a 6.5 site and knows more about diesels than I know about anything. He's a damn good guy. I think his son bought a jeep diesel and it represents a new, exciting challenge.

Interesting. I drove one of those for a week on the German autobahn. It did about 180 km/h at WOT and burned diesel at about the same rate a 2.5 260 burns gas at WOT.

Marcus, it is averaging 9.8 liters per 100km/h, in my 2006 I averaged 14.8 per 100km, over the same driving. My only issue is it revs 400 rpm MORE than the 4.7 I had at the same speed.
It needs a 7th gear.

I've been really interested in the new Benz/Chrysler diesels with great low rpm power and the mileage... If the Diesel prices continue to rise, the increased mileage won't mean anything positive other than fewer stops at the pump... The 3.0L vehicle is larger than I need except for rare occasion when I pull a 35 hp 4x4 tractor, but the smaller Liberty diesel would be very fitting for daily driving and pulling My 2200 lbs boat rig...

I think it revved to about 4500 rpm at WOT. And I am not joking - It used 3 times more fuel at WOT than the Audi A6 with the 3 liter diesel I drove the week before. The Audi was also about 50 km/h faster. I suppose that it was not designed for WOT driving...
