Re: chrysler still uses mercedes tranny,
I recently saw a Grand Cherokee in traffic with "Diesel" on the lower right side of the tailgate. It also had the word "Bluetec" under it. Now I know Grand Cherokees hhave diesels in them, it's called the "Overland Edition" but for the Bluetec, I didn't know if it's just a badge slapped on, or if it is MBz Bluetec motor.
The 2-door XJ Cherokees had 2.8L diesels in them back in the day, they were for Canadian Export. The Liberties (KJ) had the 3.0 CRD DieselI think the 1st 2 production years?? But the WJ Grand Cherokees didn't until revised to the WK platform.
