Thank you for your kind feedback. Yes, I agree, too many projects...I thought I could have most mods done to my Jeep within 18 months...well I'm double that time and still have a few remaining to accomplish (this doesn't include news ones selected over the past yr...just the ones that have been on the books for at least 2 yrs!)... lol...
I'm not brand loyal when it comes to almost anything. So when I use Maxxis tires on my dirt bikes, quads, and side-by-side it is because of Maxxis performance. I like a tire that provides lots of feedback and Maxxis usually does. They did really well to adequate in all types of terrain, however, snow and wet hard surfaces are their weak spot. I also wouldn't use them for mostly rocky trails. I personally wouldn't buy them again unless I lived/drove in soil type terrain vs desert terrain. The tires were an emergency purchase around the time when covid was killing the supply chains. I did a video just on the highway performance of the tires because there wasn't much info on it.

Good question...my answer is both Yes and No. Let me explain...I've had far too many Check Engine Lights for Emissions based codes (and non-emissions stuff). However, they pretty much are nuisance faults...didn't have to replace any parts (not I do all my own work and almost never take my vehicles to a shop or dealership service center). Most all of the codes are known conditions that have plagued the EcoDiesel setup. I have found that parking an EcoDiesel with the front of the motor pointed down a steep driveway/slope tends to accelerate the gumming up of the MAP sensor...which results in tripping the Service Elec Throttle Body message and/or MAP CEL Code. I just had to clean the MAP sensor and start parking my jeep with the front of the motor pointed up my driveway vs down. There's some other CELs, but I've posted videos on them...so if interested you can check out those videos (might just be one video...cannot remember). I will say this though...I strongly feel that an EcoDiesel vehicle is not for just anyone...there is some actual driving habits changes that one should do to help with the DPF...but that is try for any DPF diesel vehicle...just far more true for an EcoDiesel (IMHO). Have a nice one...
good thinking, not much extra room for storage in these things, I will have to look into this idea, in between all my other projects...lol

how was those Maxxis Tires you had before?

Have you had any emissions issues with this engine?
