Glad to see this up and going. I think I read somewhere that they fixed the mechanical issues Ryan had discussed. The mpg should be good, especially since they made some improvements on the 2019 8 speed in the pickups.
I wonder what it would take to put the etorque system in this.
If they got the mechanical issues fixed I might consider one if/when they get the Grand Wagoneer going. 30ish mpg in a full size SUV sounds like a winner to me.

Excellent!

Impressive.

Does it have a turbocharger with ceramic ball bearing?

In any case this was not the only product which was in the plans to receive Gen III EcoDiesel. Both WL and 964 were in the plans.

So this means the cams are finally indexed rather than merely press-fit? Good to know I can finally recommend it in good conscious again.

I think I read that somewhere, but don't recall where. It was in one of the forums. It's something I'm keeping an eye on.

Yes, i’m Curious about the fix for the cam sprocket as well as the injector issues. Wonder if the higher PSI is to address that....
