Well it's never too late to recognize a winner. Jeep is rumored to be planning a retro-fit package for conversion to their "Surprise Hit" 2.8 CRD from the '05-06 Liberty. I have wanted to put one of these in a Dakota for a few years and this just may be the key to doing that. My '06 Liberty Limited CRD is going strong at 57,000 miles. I'd be happy to have the first 30 mpg Dakota in my neighborhood.

When Jeep cancelled the diesel engine option for the Liberty, there was great wailing and gnashing of teeth, at least from the scribes here at AutoblogGreen. The diesel engine option was actually a bit of a surprise hit for Chrysler, and there is still a market of offroaders clamoring for the engine. We've now heard a rumor that, to help meet this pent-up demand, Jeep is considering offering an engine package to convert Jeep TJ's, YJ's and CJ's from gasoline to diesel using the same 2.8 CRD engine that was available in the Liberty. The kit is said to be complete and include everything needed to perform the swap.
While this is indeed good to hear, we still wish that Jeep would go the extra step to certify this engine for new vehicle sales again and offer it as a factory option for the Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited and Liberty.
