Re: A good diesel

This thread was in reference to a thread in the Jeep forum, I am going to be rippin out the now-useless I-6 that is in my 94 Wrangler and want to build a reliable diesel drivetrain for A) It will be my primary vehicle when I get out of tech school/basic for the first couple of years in the service, B) I want something that will do good off-road such as mudding or mild to moderate trail conditions, not necessarily rock-crawling, but if I have to go off the beaten path, that low-rpm torque would be mighty appreciated. This would be the basics of what my application would be. And as a side note, I do know fram, suspension, etc. may require strengthening to deal with any weight issues, that is why I am leaning more towards a I-4 or possibly I-5. If I could fit the I-6 with no issues, then I will. Definitely wish to keep it inline instead of V- layout for balance purposes and engine bay space. If you need any other info let me know, and any feedback I get is much appreciated.
