====================================
After only a week of ownership, you know I had to get the new EcoDiesel Wrangler out on the trails. With no mods done yet, I wanted to get a feel for it on the trail and how it performs.
Thanks to Corey for coming along, we had a lot of fun!

What do you want to know more about in upcoming videos? Love to hear from you guys!
Payload capacity, if its an issue
What about any issues with the regeneration of the DPF exhaust system while off-road? I know my 2015 Ecodiesel will flash a message on the message screen stating,” Exhaust system at 80% full, drive at highway speeds to remedy.” It would be interesting to see what Jeep’s solution to this would be while wheeling. Thanks!
Jed Dowdle That’s a good question... I think the tazer might let you do it manually, but that really is something Jeep should provide for in an off roader, if they haven’t already
Looks like you guys had a great little trip, absolutely love that you went with white. Keep up the great work mate
Thx bro! I think Maddi has settled on a name.
Casey 250 awesome, what is it? 😊
I like how we’re getting these incremental views of the performance as you step through your mods
Thx!
Would my TJ with 3.5" lift on 33"x12.5 muddies, double locked, 6-speed, 4.11 diff gearing, snorkel and a winch make it through these trails ? I could easily go for 4.5" lift and 35s.
Maybe for future videos do like a side by side comparison between the diesel going over an obstacle compared to a gas. As in how much gas is needed to be used etc etc and just reliability videos as you pack on the miles as im sure many of us are curious on that before we bite the bullet on a diesel . but in my opinion ATs on a jeep are useless. They should just go and stick to MT for rubicons most of us dont get jeeps for the ride quality anyways
Ya, I didnt add the MT tires because they cost more but they should be standard on a Rubicon haha. Ill try to do a day out and see if there is a fuel cost difference. I am going to do a video with fuel economy before and after larger tires to see how well the ecodiesel handles them.
are you thinking about adding in like a bolton throttle monster derringer setup. it looks very interesting from videos iv seen on eco diesel jeeps and could give you more video content
No. Id rather delete and tune it then trick sensors and be causing more emissions issues.
I love the scenery in your part of the world, wish we had mountains here. Great video. This my first Wrangler, so your previous video was a great tip for dash mounting systems. Nice to see it in action here. Working on a DIY version for mine now, but the '67 Designs' system is my fallback plan. Thanks!
I do like how simple the 67 design mount was and how clean and tidy it is.
Larger tires would be enough to go past that snow? Just curious
You should have brought some snow chains. When I use to live in Idaho we never took out our snow chains until summer.
I don't plan to keep these tires on long. In the winter when there is almost always snow, chains can be helpful. But when the snow is up to your axle, they don't help much.
The Ecodiesel will be plenty of power even when you put on bigger tires. I have a 17 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel with 37x12.5r17 MTs. I do easy to moderate trails. If the Ecodiesel can get my fullsize up some hills with 37s with 3.92 gears, I'm sure you'll be fine. You just might have to get use to the turbo having to spool up when going up steep inclines.
Nice!!
Great video! Did you try to go up the snow hill with the lockers on? It seemed that they were not on.
Rear lockers.
its going to be pretty cool to watch this Jeep build take place.
Thanks! Feels like its taking forever but only owned is 12 days lol
Love the videos and love the fact that you are testing this new diesel I would do the same thing keep up the good work
Thank you!
Turn the dome light off. LOL
Lol. I noticed it halfway through the day.
Give er the beans! Just kidding, lift and tires and that snow would have been a cake walk. Great video Casey!
I agree! Thx bro!
That motor is a Fiat design, Right? wonder how long it will last? 100K miles?
Is that in mission off Sylvester road fsr?
Is this up near Cowichan Lake?
What lake where you trying to get to?
Nice first offroad impression vid! I would certainly be VERY interested in you commenting more and paying attention to the diesel exhaust fume smell while crawling/wheeling at slow speeds. Thanx! Cheers from Denver Colorado!
For sure! I will be keeping an eye on it. Thx for the comment! :)
Personally I was afraid it would be the first thing my wife noticed when I brought home the diesel, but so far I really can't even tell and she hasn't even mentioned it. The only time I get a hint of it is cold starting in my garage and it's probably no worse than my gas cars.
You should smell the vette when I cold start it in the garage lol 😬
I have not noticed any smell so far, I do drive with all windows down quite often to.
Man I can't wait to wheel with you in the new jl buddy
Ya man, we will have to get out for a rip soon.
So now you know the reason why I think the Rubicon 4lo is to low when you're not hardcore rock crawling. Because we have the diesel auto trans combo for a while and the 2.7 ratio is just fine.
We'll see once I have 37's on or 40's.
Any possibility of a delete?
That would be interesting.
What... no tires chains?
Great video! Can you do us a favor and before you run 37s can you do 0-60mph runs, 60-80mph runs (to simulate passing) on a flat surface as well as uphill so we can see just how much acceleration you lose when switching to the larger tires in the EcoDiesel? Also id love to see a first gear crawl with no braking down a hill with stock and 37s on to see how much faster the truck rolls down the hill with 37s, curious if the ratio is much worse when you make that switch.
Keep up the EcoDiesel content!
Sure. I don't have anywhere I can 'legally' exceed 60mph though here around me but ill see what I can do.
Casey 250 anything would help, just to get an idea on how much better (or not) the Eco Diesel is at every day driving, accelerating, passing etc. before and after 37’s
escdefender I’ve driven a diesel rubicon on stock tires and again on 37s. There’s next to no change in power delivery and the passing power is identical with the same 3.73 gearing. Other than testing it briefly after we lifted it, no offroad experience but it’s very very slow
I initially intended to order a gladiator and throw that turd v6 in the ocean for a 6.4 hemi but now I’m ordering the diesel when I can. It’s that much better.
I’m gonna get a sport, truss the axles, 3.5” 4 link lift and run 37s daily and 39” BFGs off road. 4.56 and ARBs
@@mattbrew11 I am working on a stock vs 37's video this weekend, hoping to have it up next week.
I love the rack,I know I have asked you this before but would you do the diesel again I am getting ready to buy a new jeep jl rubicon ecodiesel and set it up similarly to your set up I value your honesty
I love the diesel but am very interested in the 4xe too
Looks good
Do you have the fan problem on the diesel engine and if you stand on a high angle does the engine on the diesel also start " smoking" ??L&R 🇳🇴
Not sure I am aware of fan issues. I will have to see on the smoking issue with inclines, havent been very vertical yet.
Casey 250 looking forward too follow you and your Eco jeep L&R 🇳🇴
Around the 3:00 minute mark you mentioned that you were already in 4 wheel drive, why do you going into 4x4 for what looks to be a mild climb. I tend to leave it in 4x2 until I start getting tire spin or it’s really steep. Not trying to criticize just looking to learn
Thx for the question. A couple reasons, and these are just my opinion. The loose terrain and continuous variations in terrain do cause constant tire slip. I see no reason not to use 4 wheel drive high when on loose terrain. I am on the thought of using what you have to take any strain off the drivetrain. Its the same reason, if I think I might need a rear locker on an obstacle, I will use it, rather then possibly skinny peddling through and potentially causing issues with the drive line. With factory tires, it is less an issue, but moving up to larger sticker tires, the more I can let the systems work for me, the less stuff I tend to break. As well, if I am spinning in 2wd and someone is behind me, I am chucking rocks at their rig. Everyone has their own opinion on this I am sure but that is my logic whether or not others agree.
A reason for 4x4 even without real need on loose ground is you spread the torque and cause lesser trail fatigue. The same is it with airing down. Thread lightly!
True true!!
What mount is that for your phone and iPad? I’m looking at the dual arm mount from 67 designs but am unsure if it’s worth it and if it’s correct for what I have.
Yes. Check out my interior JL mods video.
Casey 250 thanks! Will do
Just bought my first jeep with the ecodiesel. I have seen many people using a tablet for gps. Does the stock navigation suck so much that you need a different gps?
A lot of people prefer something more robust for maps. I use Gaia gps on my phone.
@@Casey250 I will have to check it out. I traded in a colorado zr2 with a bds 4" lift for the ecodiesel JL. I loved that truck but I think I made the right choice. Really enjoying your content, Canada is beautiful.
Casey, you may wish to look into a catch can for blow by... also.... did they correct the ability to select front locker separate from rear?
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for little things like that, the platform is so new still. No, you cannot select just the front locker. My Trail Dash 2 could on my JK so perhaps a tuner will be able to.
Catch cans won’t work on diesels from what I’ve seen due to the super-low pressure they generate inside the engine.
Apparently you can do some heavy mods to install a catch can, but it’s not as simple as disconnecting a few hoses and bolting it on like with the gassers.
Jay Eckert
I was about to say really? Still has EGR valve... thank you for full explanation
🍻 cheers
@@jeckart3d thanks for the info!
Have you had problems with your GoPro’s I had two that both failed at a little over a year old.
zero problems and I have 5. I also subscribe to gopro's support on them if something did happen.
no cold?
I found with my Jeep diesel Grand Cherokee it got really good fuel mileage compared to the JK of my friend
Im hoping it will do well with larger tires.
I wonder how long before somebody makes a def relocate or delete for these jl's
Ive heard a couple places working on it.
What psi do you recomend for everyday highway driving?
I run 32 front 36 rear when loaded.
Wait, help me out here....growing up in Chicago and Syracuse, NY, I had to navigate snow like that in a 1976 Ford Pinto and then a FWD Pontiac Sunbird.... the Rubicon couldn’t make that snow patch? What am I missing? ....
It doesn't show on the camera well but that was quite a steep incline ( i am standing at the top and am much higher then the Jeep is) of slushy wet packed snow.
Casey 250 Don’t get me wrong, I love this video. And I appreciate your skills and the situation. As a potential diesel Rubicon buyer, I’m thinking OMG I had to navigate that hard-pack/slush incline stuff with crap vehicles on steep hills....but a 60k vehicle can’t do it? Just giving me pause. Props to you for your vids and trails. Love going with you on the adventure of checking out your new rig 👍👏🏻✨
@@Casey250 I know the corner you're on. I came at it from the top a while back..Was sure i was going over the edge. Steep slope for sure.
I was making it up until it buried my axle as well. If a Jeep with 4 wheel drive and lockers and a lot of ground clearance can't make it, I am not sure what vehicle would. Trails and street are completely different, and these are all terrains not winter tires either.
Oh down would be fun lol.
Does it take DEF fluid? Awesome vids, keep it up👍🏾
For the most part every on highway Diesel engine built in 2010 and later require diesel exhaust fluid. I believe the 2010 - 2012 Ram 2500/3500 Cummins 6.7 was exempt because of credits. Those credits ran out in 2013 and the Cummins 6.7 started using DEF in 2013. So since 2013 100% of Diesel engines use DEF...no way around that.
Hello again .... How many hp on your 3.0l Eco diesel?? We have 200 hp on the 2.8l.Dont quit your day job , You are making some of the best filming on the web L&R🇳🇴( Sorry for my english😇)
I jist recently uploaded a dyno run video if you check my recent uploads.
Wait till u add some tunig...Try Chrisopher munroe or green diesel engineering
We have a diesel tuner at Paradigm Auto Works now which we are discussing tuning options.
So as of right now would you recommend waiting for the diesel in the gladiator? I’m really torn, I’m very impatient lol Can’t wait to see this beast after the37s!!
U are not worried about reliability?
Other then it being a new motor with no history, the diesel is great and I think it's really nice option, but I'll reserve judgement for once i get some mods and more testing. If it handles the weight and tires well then ya, its a great choice.
Casey 250 awesome thanks! Looking forward to future videos
Casey 250 the engine has quite a history...I believe it is the 3rd generation.
Do you plan to regear when you go to 37 inch tires? If so what gear ratio?
Unlikely for 37s. Others on the forums seem to have positive feedback with stock gears (3.73) but ill see. Probably wouldnt need more the. 4.10s i suspect. If I go to 40s with axles down the road then I think a higher gear ratio will be needed.
Great vid was thinking in work 2 day wat colour I would get mine in and wat spec 👍
2020 has some great color options!
@@Casey250 daughter likes the red they. Come in which I do like and the yellow is growing on me.
Punk'n orange is my favorite. I got white to hit scratches and give me versatility with accent colors.
Must say I am impressed, especially with a first gen diesel.
You and me both!
Can you do a video on your drone you just got too?
I suppose I could. Im not much of a tech reviewer but I did pick this one for a few reason.
The Mavic Mini? They are great drones. Many reviews on RUclips!
THIS in B.C or A.B
Hey question ! , I'm a canadian from Ontario, what is your monthly payment like for the jeep??
I was thinking of doing a video on how much the Jeep costs, seems like many are interested in pricing.
@@Casey250 yes sounds like a good video , i was thinking the same question
Yes Please
Between $700-$1000 depends on how much down payment you put down and how good your credit, for interest rate. If you put half down, say $30k, then obviously your payment will be a lot less than $700. But most people who put $5k-$15k down, will be in the 700-1k per month Area.
@@00ninja00 holy shit
Tazer JL. Put the lockers on in 4 high.
Yep. On order.
Can you feel the weight of the engine in the handling etc?
I don't think so it is down low. Also I have a soft top which is lighter then a hard top, and is weight up high.
you didn't turn off the cabinet light above yr head
I did eventually lol.
When you were getting through that snow, did you notice an issue where when you press on the gas hard the computer limits your throttle? Been driving me mad in the JT.
Did not notice that, but wasn't look for it. There is a lot of footage I cut of my just ripping on it in the snow. I will check for this thoughh.
It seems to be something to do with the traction control, happened to me in snow in the back country. Stopped when I turned off traction control.
just turn off your traction control then
Exactly, like the stupid auto start/stop, just gotta remember to turn it off every trip out
@@rubicon_north675 I have traction control completely disabled via Tazer JL. It's something else.
What PSI you run them KO2 at on a daily basis?
I put them up to 36psi now for the road. Seems less flightly then 42.
Can’t wait to see the mods. We need some Jeep Emojis.
Soon! It feels like i've had this Jeep far longer then 12 days haha.
Nice channel man. What tire are you switching to?
I haven't announced yet which tire I am going. Soon.
@@Casey250 currently have wildpeaks, pretty good at. Looking at the geolander mt g003s
Hate jeeps but i like the channel and the adventure
Thanks! I try to bring more then just Jeeps to the channel but it is a focus here.
Beautiful spot to wheel
Indeed!
did you buy the 8 year 125k mi warranty?
No.
What drone are you using?
Mavic Mini
What mount are you using for your tablet.
67 Designs and a Joby mount. It is all in my previous view I uploaded.
Thanks, I had to go with a Ram. Just picked up my eco diesel two days ago.
With those wheels and those tires 15 psi is safe. Run 12 PSI rock crawling with those wheels and 37"x12.5 17 Cooper STT Pro's no problem. In cold weather would probably stay at 15 psi.
For sure. I wasn't too concerned other then 42 psi was bone jarring lol.
I could imagine. With the 37 " tires I run Coopers at 26 PSI daily driving for comfort and proper wear with those stock wheels. The nice part of those wheels they were engineered by jeep to work like sand buggy wheels and allow bigger tires to be put on and run on tires to hold the bead, but need a harder compound for sidewalls like Coopers.Obvious spacers I run 1.75 " to work no problem with those. Soft sidewalls like Milestar will damage rim of wheel. Plus the valve stem is protected with those stock wheels. If you have any questions about those wheels check out my page and watch what I do with those stock wheels. You purchased one of the most capable Jeeps ever created. Congrats.
Now time to lift it and send it!
Hahaa 👊👊
Just hearing that engine sound makes me smell diesel exhaust.
Lol!
put 37s on and about 1000 lbs then see what happens to the power
You'll find out here for sure!
Really? A Canadian turned around because of a snow patch. Take a shovel, clear a path! Let your buddy with Jk get up in top a winch you. Drop the air pressure to 18 psi. Are you sure your Canadian?
Lol. Some days just aren't made for battling snow.
I go to Quebec providence often, snow mobile, and atvs ride. if my local friends turned around because of a 30 meter stretch of snow. I would totally laugh at them. An American would wait till his Toyota Prius could make the hike. Well I guess a Canadian will wait till mid June to get to the lake.
Fun trail. Nice Jeep. Nice to see miles of cut trees 😠 . That's why you have wash outs and bouldering.
It is what it is here.
Green Lightning maybe he should move somewhere you like better
Fun fun
Agreed!
I think you just proved buying the Rubicon Diesel is a waste of money. Doesn’t seem to need the 4:1 low range. Lockers don’t help much most of the time, and the rear LSD could hold most people over until the upgrade to a front locker was necessary, let alone front and rear.
I am just getting started but if this is all you want to be doing in a Jeep, don't get a Rubicon.
Thanks for the video BTW!!
Casey 250 yeah you’re heading to level 8-10 most people need to consider of they’re going to go that far or not. Also, level 8-10 might be cheaper to do in a lower trim.
Absolutely! Thx for the comments and watching! 👊👊
Glad you got in some wheeling before you mod it!
Me too! No rush on mods now with the road trip schedule getting cancelled.
@@Casey250 honestly would love to see more comparisons of it being wheeled stock vs your mods. I know your series so I know the mods coming. Would like to see more stock wheeling. Just a thought. I am sure you are excited to get it modded and on big meat but just think about it maybe?
Casey, I enjoy your videos, but I got this message from your first test drive of the Diesel. It smells a little, it a little noisy, it doesn't have power to get up a steep hill, but yeah it has torque. What it really told me is and what I already knew it how limited a stock Jeep Rubicon is in the backcountry. It could not even get up a little snowy hill. Jeep should get RUclips to take this video down because you just exposed the truth about Jeeps. Without modifications Jeeps are pretty much just road vehicles. They might climb a small ledge in Utah, but that is about it. Am I exaggerating? Perhaps Torque w/o proper wheels is just torque. For me the only reason to buy a diesel is for the gas mileage which allow longer trips between refueling or maybe the rock crawlers like the torque. Mud is mud, torque be dammed. But I look forward the your mods. I have driven Jeeps for the last 35 years. I only do what some would call "Overlanding" not a mudder, rock crawler by nature. I love my Jeeps and would never mistreat them like I see the extreme Jeepers do. I always feel sorry for the Jeeps when I watch these videos.
Complaining about the smell of a diesel is pointless.. get a V8 and you will smell that too mate.
You should've bought a Subaru
At least he aired down to 30...
Lol. I have never wheeled on a stock Jeep before so I wasn't too sure what was good for stock tires and rims.
@@Casey250 I have stock BFG and rims and 18psi is comfy off road but that's as low as I went ..not Rock crawling or ne thing
haha was saying the same thing... i run 34 max on the road, I hate the rough ride. I run 16 on the trails. My wheels and tires are factory
I go down to 12-15 on my rubi take offs, but my YJ is a hell of alot lighter than that JL, you should be able to hit 18 without any problems.
Ive ran 12 in my stock sport wheels and tires without an issue but lower than that i wouldn't try myself
Umm ......my 26000 lb propane truck would make it thru that....is that Barbie’s Jeep? Buy a set of chains!!
300th like lets gooo lmao
Thanks!!
Casey 250 no problem man! You and Shaun just make amazing videos
You have a Robicon I didn’t see all wheels spinning what a fake video
Ok.
