They need a money printing machine. I told them they could borrow my old Tundra.
2015 Jeep GC Turbo Diesel HELP!
- Thread starter JeffKeryk

Unless it's a custom 4BT or something, Jeep and diesel have no business being in the same sentence. My brother's Jeep Liberty with that dreadful Italian 2.8l CRD engine was the bane of my existence.
What water? Seems suspect that they would use this verbage.
I am with others......drain the tank, add fresh diesel, change the filter........maybe add for Power Service 911, and give it a shot, what is the worst that could happen.......you have to replace everything anyway?
Sneak Thievery.
At this point, they're pretty much at the same price as the dealer's quote.
The pump has likely been there problem from the start.
Big problem with owning anything unique diesel, your taking it to a place that doesn't normally work on diesels.
I suspect to see a white GC listed in the local FB marketplace soon. The shop is making a killing on this vehicle.
I'm thinking back to the '98.5+ CTDs where a dead lift pump is hard on the injector pump but it still runs.
Similarly the aftermarket lift pumps for Duramax are passive, such that if they are not running diesel still passes through unrestricted.
But I realize a new Ecodiesel is not a 6BT and I know nothing of the system.

It's really hard to discuss a problem like this with the owner. Debbie loves her GC, and it is so nice inside, but has been problematic since day 1.
When she first asked me what to do, I difficultly but politely suggested she take a hard look at where she was in this vehicle's life. "But if I fix it it will last another 10 years." "We don't have the money for a new car and I love my Jeep."
$12K in with no guarantees. When she called me yesterday with the new status, I did not know what to say; I could barely talk. Now she feels like she has to continue down this road due to her investment. Unfortunately hope is a lousy strategy.
I did not want to ask her why she did the extra work before gaining confidence on the PGM replacement fix; she trusted the shop. I firmly told her, "Please do not throw more good money after bad." Let's see what happens.
This whole thread is exactly why I hate dealing with shops anymore. If I was in that situation, I'd probably shove the Jeep into Lake Mead and go buy something else.
You can always go to replacement of parts later, I'd get the fuel out, fresh fuel in and a new filter.
But if it actually had gas in it rather than diesel, not driving 200 miles would've been better.
I frequent the diesel forums because I have an older one, but it seems like the dealers have an knee-jerk response of "replace-it-all" because eventually, that's what it really takes. Gone are the days of changing a filter and adding fresh fuel like my old 7.3
I wish Debbie the best but I fear the Jeep is a cash eating monster.

Ya think?
Why do people buy these diesel vehicles? (hides in corner)
Why do companies sell them to unsuspecting, and innocent trusting, customers?
Full disclosure, I was poking fun at myself.
Well done, my man! Only way to fly.Full disclosure, I was poking fun at myself.
Because big power numbers on paper and in the ad’s justify the up charge, to the unknowing customer anyways.
The same people have no idea the level of extra maintenance and costs that come with diesel ownership. The dealers sure as poo won’t tell them, “It’s great, you will love it, just fill with diesel at the pump, dealership will take care of the rest”.
In short, because profit.
I kinda thought the point was more about a failed engine design... But yeah, maintenance is a profit center for dealers.
