Yes but have you driven a diesel KJ yet? Take one for a spin before you close the door on us
I did take it for a test drive. I really liked the way way it motored on down the freeway as well as the fit and finish, it was a Limited trim model.
The test drive put me on the fence since it is a nice vehicle with more power than I thought it would have.
Of the two that are under consideration, both have had all the TSB's taken care of. They are both under 10K in mileage and are the same trim level. Both were in great shape and showed no signs of abuse or previous accidents.
Is there any tell-tale sign to know that you're going to have the fuel problem or is just something that happens one day? From what I've read it looks like I need to jump on it getting on the freeway and then it will sputter, if it has the problem currently.

Then put a lift pump in and enjoy. All the so called transmission problems I had have been solved with this mod.
If I do the lift pump, am I going to be completely screwed on the warranty? From what I've read around here it looks like this is the cure all to the dying/hesitation issue, but it also looks like DCX will void the warranty once they see it done.
So another, probably dumb, question. How is it getting parts from the dealer? I'd like to hear from anyone in California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York or Vermont for this one since the CRD wasn't allowed in there new. I also like to hear about service in those states as well.
I'm not opposed to working on the thing, it would just be nice to get someone else to cover the work and parts for a change. I have my XJ to wrench on.
For the time being it would stay stock. Although every vehicle I've owned gets modified in some way, those Frankenlifts look nice and a set of Moab wheels would complete it. Would I then be banished to the "general" area for trying to get some flex out of it, or is the line at the point of a solid front axle swap
