Close friend just bought the gasser version. 1st big rain the passenger floorboard was saturated with water. I think a poorly installed door gasket is to blame.

Mine gets 20 mpg towing at max capacity (5,000 lbs.) and about 26 on the highway empty. Not bad for a nearly 2.5 ton 4x4.

It makes right at 300 lb./ft. from the factory, and some big companies like TST and Bullydog are making tuners for it. Rumors are over 400 lb/ft...which is WAY more power per liter than the Cummins guys are getting with light mods.

I really like mine so far. The only problem is the emissions equipment that the government apparently is making Jeep stick on it. That cat. converter stinks, and the check engine light is always coming on because of emissions components getting a bad signal from crappy diesel fuel or whatever...
