VW 1.9L TDI Turbo
This video helped make up my mind....oh... and I heard folks with getting around 40mpg. unfortunately it will be a couple of years before I am ready, but I wish I had the cash right now as I just saw a VW TDI 1.9L with a new motor and wrecked in the back for $1000 obo.

I like american diesels, but anything with a 6 cylinder turbo diesel, i'm staying away from. I work on them daily already -_-. Your talking about like the 12v cummins and what not i believe. Or the 7.3 powerstroke.

I have a friend that put a 4bt a 4L80E trans and not sure the transfer. But he had 7" lift and 37" tires. He reinforced the entire frame used Clayton long arm up front and leaf spring rear. He left NC headed for Texas pulling a 16" trailer loaded. Ran between 70 and 80 mph most the way had plenty of power and got an average of 28 mpg all the way. He had no problems not sure the cost but he says it's worth every penny.

Yep the Renault 2.1L TD. Surprising a fair bit of parts for this engine are available.
You have to look on RockAuto- UK/Europe and Renault Espace or Trafic. They also came with the same engine.
With the 2nd '85 Cherokee Diesel I bought, I got tons of parts. Spare engine, engine parts, injector pumps, auto and manual trans, hoses, etc. It was probably the biggest collection of spare and used parts around.

I have a beater f250 that i thought about diesel swapping a few times,Even with all the cummins swap parts made for my truck i was looking a easy 5k to 8k,And a 4bt around me are 3k and it might run while i can get a running 12 valve for about 3k 3500 range.Don't get me wrong i love a powerstroke but don't wanna swap one rather have a injection pump its less wiring.

Very awesomr build, its is an amazing jeep. Only about 8k out of my price range lol. I do like the factory 2.1 renault. I definitely think the om617 will be the successor in the jeep world. Easy to find, easy to swap, and world class engine. I wish I could afford this but only have a 10-12k budget

Yes very much agreed. Swapping full size diesels can be a pain in the @$$. I've done it a few times on the newer ford series and dodge series. 50k ftw??? That was the reason also for the om617. Its a dinosaur. Yet won't be killed off by a comet haha

Just wanted to add my build thread to this list of diesel XJ's.
Its been a years and a half on the road and we love our TDI XJ.

Tons of power and great fuel economy, what else is there.
