I agree. It's 95% bolt-on BS with the only actual value-added components being the "custom" bed and frame extension.Stuka wrote:

I think I was talking about the 3.0 eco? Or maybe not. Is the 3.0 repower offered by banks based on the ecodiesel or a 3bt?

I haven't had my camera ready at the right moment, but the Jeep trucks are running all over out here right now, with their goofy full-car covers and michigan manufacturer's plates. On a barely related note, they're getting craftier and craftier with that camo too. There was one off of 285 halfway to conifer pulled over. They had stuck a bunch of styrafoam blocks between the cover and the body to change the shape of the car. I guess one of the blocks came loose because they had to pull over at the fire station, take the car cover off the front clip (how I saw it and knew what it was) and duct tape it back down. I turned around at the next exit to go back, but saw them coming down the highway before I got back to the fire station. On this second look, I was able to see that the zebra stripes had the Ram logo as part of it's pattern, despite being on a Jeep.
Ahh, that’s not a Cummins. It’s a VM Motori, which is the EcoDiesel that FCA uses.tedlovesjeeps71 wrote:I think I was talking about the 3.0 eco? Or maybe not.

Oops. You are correct and I'm going to sit in the corner and try and figure out how I screwed that up so bad.Stuka wrote:Ahh, that’s not a Cummins.
