I was curious if anyone owned a Diesel Grand Cherokee on here. I saw one the other day clearly marked with a CRD badge. I'd be interested in one if they were available in North America for the WJ model. I know they were available for the WK model and WK2 model. They also came in the Liberty as a 2.8 diesel.

One of my co-workers here (Corning, NY) had one that he traded in a few months back. Not sure if it managed to find its way down there but it was silver with the front suspension lifted slightly.

Brad (ruquik) had a wk crd and gavan's friend has one currently. I don't believe a wj was ever offered w/ it.

Thought Canada put them in a lot of their jeep even Grands...

I can say my friend is very happy with his CRD WK. He said he will be much happier with it after a tune...

I loved my 07.... wish i didnt get rid of it... Most of the CRD's had QDII (aka e-lockers in low range)
There are 3-4 tuners out there and Yes, even a couple of DPF delete option too.
Lets just say after some "tuning" my old WK with 33" and a 4" lift is getting 26mpg (which is the best i got bone stock)

According Wiki it was only started in the WK in the US for Grand Cherokees. I hate the WK though. Compared to my WJ I think my dad's WK feels like a tunnel. The windows just seem smaller. Also more partial to the rounded body. I was looking into the new WK2 version but that's $47,000 well equipped. Perhaps I'll wait for them to come through the Auto Insurance sales and I'll pick one up cheap with a reconstruct title. Worked out well for my 1999 Grand.IRS and only one locker.... They drive wonderfully but my WK was just plain tuff. And I don't think anyone has beat on the WK/XK platform more then Kevin (Urbancrawler). The dents, scratches and crushed exhaust are a testimate to that.
