Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Challenge - HEMI vs CRD - Part 1

Part 1 - WH Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI vs CRD, 5.7L V8 petrol versus 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel OM642. This video was filmed at Menai New South Wales Australia and is published in two parts. Watch Part 2 here: • Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x... or you can click on it at the ending screen after watching this video.
This trail is rated as medium difficulty.
Here's a little bit about the vehicles, they're both equipped with factory QD2 system, which incorporates the centre diff lock, as well as the front and rear, made by Eaton specifically for Jeep Grand Cherokee WH models (or WK in the US). The HEMI sports a 545RFE transmission and 3.73 diff gears. The CRD is equipped with NAG1 transmission and 3.55 diff gears. Both running a 4" Superlift lift kit, somewhat modified.
Both are running 33 inch tyres. The CRD is running 33x12.5R17 Atturo Trail Blade on +10 offset rims and the HEMI is running 285/70R17 Buckshot XMT Mudder with 1.5" spacers. So both end up with similar total offset.

Aussie Four Wheelers (Hemi4WD) GOOD

[@bluerineimb8270]

I'm thinking of buying a CRD been looking at quite a few over past month the only think that puts me off is all the horror stories about turbos, & injectors & filters clogging up I'm in what's your opinion

[@carrot595]

I'm a bit late to the wk jeep party........why no under protection? (on both)

[@AussieFourWheelers]

HAHAHA 😂😂😂 Glad you had a laugh 😊

[@tangledline]

Awesome on trail tech work! Most people would never have known why their Quadra-drive didn't work.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thank you 👍 Thank you also for commenting.

[@xmo552]

Nice fix

[@massimoe402a6]

Personally i prefer the CRD, also because i have one

[@crazyt1ger08]

Clearly the HEMI driver is more experienced but besides that the HEMI seems to be smoother with the power. That said, a V8 5.7 LT HEMI just sounds so much better than the truck sounding Merc CRD. Full disclosure, I am a Jeep HEMI driver myself.

[@Cream5oda09]

The Hemi had Quadradrive II, it does all the hard work for you like locking diffs with automatic transmission. By far one of the most advanced AWD systems ever made. The v6 probably has quadra trac, which isnt as advanced but probably better at gas mpg. - probably not full time awd. (I have a hemi commander)

[@crazyt1ger08]

Cream5oda09, Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the CRD Limited also had Quadradrive II......

[@Cream5oda09]

crazyt1ger08 good point. not sure about overseas. but in the states its a hemi option only. not even 4.7ltr v8s get it. more of a luxury option

[@crazyt1ger08]

Cream5oda09, Over here the WK is called a WH and I just love seeing the Toyota driver's jaws drop when they see what a 5.7 LT Hemi with Eaton E-Lockers can do.... www.wkjeeps.com/export/wh_export.htm

[@stdlyman3k]

i have a2007 wk with the crd limited and quadra drive 2

[@lachlansheekey2839]

Seems like the hemi is a lot easier to drive smoothly. CRD appears to surge a lot.

[@aussie_arboreals]

Lachlan Sheekey the CRD definitely lags when you put the foot down making throttle control a little difficult.

[@lachlansheekey2839]

Jason Patterson I'm considering a grand Cherokee and am leaning towards the hemi for cheaper purchase and servicing costs. And pros and cons you can give me comparing the hemi and crd? How does the hemi go running 33s? Runaway much on downhills?

[@aussie_arboreals]

Lachlan Sheekey the HEMI sounds awesome! The biggest difference is cost of fuel, Hemi uses more than twice that of the CRD so CRD is definitely far more economical.

[@everettdurst1]

I have the hemi (07 overland) and 33.3" tires. I didn't change the gear ratio, but I've considered it. The hemi has a ridiculous amount of power, particularly down low, and it absolutely leaps up obstacles. It never bogs or requires as much throttle as my 5.0L F150 does to rip around off road. On road, my acceleration went down, but is still very sporty. Bone stock, I feel like the hemi gets half way down the block faster than anything I've driven. I never had any doubt I could take the lane from anything next to me, if no other reason than they can't get enough traction to get across the intersection as fast as this all wheel drive does. With the bigger tires, it's still very quick, but not necessarily unbeatable. It's worth noting that at the same time I put the big tires on, I also added hundreds of pounds in bumper, winch, and armor. I am considering going to 4.10 from 3.73, but it would cost a couple grand and I really can't justify it. By the way, I have decades of 4 wheeling experience, and the QD2 system is unreal. It does full lock when it needs it, but it unlocks when you don't, so it drives much smoother than other lockers or limited slips I've had. It's awesome.

[@lordazuzu]

Tires pressure seems higher on the CRD, but more importantly the driver is definitely less experienced that the HEMI one. Furthermore, the HEMI gearing looks "shorter" that the diesel, IMHO.

[@Piratepeteoo]

Man you gota love the jeep Grand Cherokee's,,,,,,, I've got a,,,,,2013 jeep Grand cherokee diesel crd ,,,and love driving it ,,,,most people underestimate the Jeep's capabilities,,,, they think they are crap,,,OH NO THERE NOT ,,,,, THEY WILL GO ANY WHERE A LANDCRUSER WILL GO AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING 👍 😳 😉

[@johannes1291]

I love Jeep GC... specially mine.

[@tabathaspeight190]

Good to know about the wheel speed sensor for the QDII being vulnerable like that. Great video guys.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks for watching 👍 Yeah, those sensors are the most vulnerable part on these Jeeps.

[@captainjtrain8629]

Mate I have the merchison 2 inch lifton WH Hemi whats the largest tyre height and thickness I could go ? Cheers you guys are fully sick.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks mate. On a 2" lift, you can run 265/70R17 (equivalent to 31").

[@zaccorpseman7366]

Love the WK, no matter what engine it got. Probably the last platform that carries the original GC bloodline, and are actually capable of some real offroading. Here my WK2 can flex as hard as a Mercedes, lol. No matter what type of coils or lift kits I throw at it there is still an inch or two short on the ground clearing...

[@shanehosking8582]

Another awesome video guys! Where abouts did you film this? Both Jeeps are absolute beasts... As for Hemi or CRD? I'd be happy to have either one in my shed after seeing this. 👍👍👍👍

[@jaarryifleshblood315]

The hemi is a beast! It makes rock crawling look easy

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Wish they had crawler gears though

[@r.mhaych5021]

Aussie four wheelers do you rate them as great for all round touring and hard tracks ? Are they solid axle front or ifs/irs ? I want one because they’re cheap and already have the hemi v8 in there ! Would love to do a dual cab chop Jeep would be one of a kind !!

[@charliedee9276]

Love watching these! I picked up an 04 WJ Limited with a dead Quadradrive T/case, I put a 242HD case in it and a Tru Trac in the front axle to replace the also dead Vari Lok. With 31's, a 2" lift and a good working rear Vari Lok it surprises quite a few people as to where it will go. 33's and more lift is in the future when I move to AZ..

[@AussieFourWheelers]

It's a good feeling when surprising others 😊

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Pretty cool! I like them both! But the crd is way more economic in saving fuel. I think next year USA will be getting new engines for their jeeps, including four cylinders and diesel too. Cool video brothers from down under:-)

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍 Yeah, the CRD is very economical.

[@waltermeono5253]

I've been missing your Grand Cherokees. They're amazing. Cheers from Costa Rica.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Glad you enjoyed it 😉

[@toddmartin4471]

Both rigs are set up nicely! It appears that they can both do good in the rocks very impressive. I have great respect for the Grand Cherokee and i drive a JKU , also you guys are truly blessed with an awesome Country trails.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thank you very much on the compliments and the feedback👍

[@ciumoiucucaca]

well it's not so much for the hemi or crd as it is for the experienced driver.

[@RickHavok]

Thanks for the great vid with fairly radical terrain. What wheel and tire sizes, including spacers and/or backspacing?

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks for watching and dropping a comment. Both are running 33s. CRD = 33x12.5R17 Atturo Trail Blade on +10 offset rims. HEMI = 285/70R17 Buckshot XMT Mudder with 1.5" spacers. So both similar total offset. Thanks again 👍

[@mickey-qu7tk]

I love my 07 grand Cherokee

[@utterden]

I've watched these 2 videos over and over. I have an 06 WK (in Texas) Hemi and I read below your Hemi has 285/70R17. I have the OME 2" HD lift that I will be installing soon. Other than the offset with the wheels and I'm sure the pinch weld mod was there anything else you had to do to get that size tire to fit?Keep up the great videos!!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks a lot 👍 Glad you like the video. We are both running a 4" lift to fit them. You will not be able to fit them with the 2" lift kit.

[@badgerwithhands]

I run 285/70R17 on my WK CRD with OME HD lift and pinch weld done. I have -6 mm offset rims, as well. They can absolutely be run on your setup.

Had to replace a speed sensor too. Dash kept on saying to check 4x4 system. I'm guessing dust and corrugated roads upset it.

Yeah. The wheel speed sensors on these things are notorious! It's like they're made out of scrap.

[@MrScalman]

Very cool videos ad allways. Made me rethink maybe this would be much better then wj and not much more expencive. Are those bumpers all stock or something was done with them?

[@AussieFourWheelers]

They are a good unit. Pity there's not much aftermarket support for them. The front bumpers are stock but trimmed for clearance. The rears are stock.

[@hulkgreen96]

How tall of lifts and what tire size on each Jeep, I have crd as well love it but need to get it more off road capable. Thanks, awesome video guys.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thank you for watching 👍 Glad you liked it. They are both running a 4" lift and 33" tyres . Actually, the HEMI is running 285/70R17 while the CRD is running 33x12.5R17 tyres. Thank you for asking and commenting, much appreciated.

[@ArkadiaII]

What tyre is it? (Brand and model, speed, weight and load ratings?)

[@AussieFourWheelers]

They're just the 2" rubber flares. Can get them on eBay or Clark's Rubber.

[@dawid8844]

I've got the 5.9 ZJ and it's a real stump puller, the lower it makes power the better. The diesel in the right hands is equally as capable.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Diesels produce more power at a lower rpm range than the gasoline vehicles. In this particular case, the turbo lag wrecks it for the driver, but that can be sorted out with the GDE tune.

[@717UT]

Great off road fix!

[@kennethjones4578]

Fab video guys. Run a UK-plated Hemi in Italy and was thinking of jacking up the suspension as the terrain in central southern Italy is not half as bad as the outback but it gets pretty muddy. Would a 4’ do? Look forward to more of your videos!

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yeah, the 4" Superlift is an awesome lift, keeps the CV and steering rod angles at stock height and enables you to run 33" tyres. Just have to do the front and rear pinch welds, and cut a slot in the fuel tank protecting plate (and bend onto the tank) for the rear upper control arm to fit through and get more droop.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thank you for watching 👍 The CRD has 215hp (160kW) and 376lb-ft (510Nm) torque. He is getting a tune soon, so those figures will increase. The area we filmed in is at Menai NSW Australia.

[@ADirtyScrub]

Never understood why they went away from solid front axles on the GC. While Quadra drive is great in theory things like this can ruin the system pretty easily. I'll stick with the Selec Trac and some mechanical lockers on my WJ. Just fewer things to go wrong. great video though, I always like learning new things about Jeeps.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

You're 100% right. Would've been a weapon with solid axles, QD2 and their new engine choices.

[@veneratedmortal4369]

Road ride comfort? They drive 100% nicer too, also more clearance without needing bigger tyres. You should really check articulation clearance with bigger tyres and a lift kit.

[@51d3w1nd312]

yep. i love me some solid axle action as much as the next guy, but for the other 80%+ of the time, where im driving around town, IFS wins by a huge margin.

[@rickfranke4886]

Do all 2010 grand cherokees have lockers, looks like a very capible 4x4. What lift are you running? Doesnt the computer show errors on the dash like a disco/lr3. Awesome vid btw.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Not all. These are the WH model in Australia (WK in North America) which ran from 2005 to 2010. Some came with a centre diff lock and traction control in low range and others with front and rear locking diffs. Both are running a 4" Superlift. No computer errors, except when something goes wrong like in this video when the wheel speed sensor wire got cut. Glad you liked the video. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

2003 model is WJ. The ones in the video are WH/WK. If it's a WH, then you'll struggle with aftermarket mods. If it's the WJ, they have a lot of aftermarket support but I personally don't like the 2.7L CRD.

Its all about diesels in 4x4s, and ya can run most diesels on allsorts lol and they are what ya wamt when ya in middle of nowhwre off roading, in England 70_80% of offf roaders have diesels

Thank you for your input mate 👍 Much appreciated.

HEMI driver/camera man is a top tier driver

[@ravenhill-griffith6828]

So since you guys wheel both what one do you feel is better. The low end torque from the diesel or smoother power from the hemi? I'm looking at picking one up and found a few 3.0 diesels and wanted input.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

I prefer the HEMI as it's easier to control. The CRD's turbo lag is annoying and just when it kicks in, it's too fast, hard to control on technical stuff. The GDE tune fixes that though, but pricey, so will have to wait.

Love this!! Insane cars, jeep has always managed to accomplish the impossible, comfortable, looks and amazing capability, I love how the Australian market thinks they're horrible because it keeps the prices down, so I can upgrade to a hemi V8, currently have a v6 petrol 2011, 210,000km on the clock zero problems and it goes off road quite severely

[@XS11Collector]

Looks like the Hemi has the QD2 drive system and the CRD has the QT2. That is the key. QD2 will win that fight every time.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Both have QD2.

[@joegriffin6699]

Is there much difference in mpg. Love the sound of the v8 but not the fuel bill. My JGC Crd diesel does about 24mpg.

[@Kanae1986]

hi, i also have a 08 GC 5.7 with QDII i want to know do you stay all the time in 4WD Low or are you switching while offroading? I am new to a swichable 4WD System

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Yeah, we try and run in 4HI whenever we can in between obstacles.

[@GmonTM]

Awesome footage

[@Lukas6028]

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it.

[@rollyb5061]

great work once again guys

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Thanks again mate 👍

[@geluix69]

so weird for me to see a right had drive jeep. here in Canada jeeps are everywhere.

[@AussieFourWheelers]

For us it's not weird seeing LHD vehicles. Probably used to it from the movies.

Aussie Four Wheelers G'Day Mates! The correct side is the left. As the automobile was introduced to the public it was left side by Ford and Mercedes respectively. The natural position in a car for person is on the left. Even when you are sitting in a vehicle you read the gauges and radio are all read in English from left to right. While driving it is very awkward to try and look left to reach as far as you can to use the volume knob on the radio, you don't switch the knobs to make them closer do you? I've driven right hand drive cars in many countries it's an argument everyone I meet can't debate. Sorry but it's just a fact. Proud owner of a 2008 WK Overland Hemi with QDII. Added a Magnaflow exhaust and K&N CAI with tune. I would never do what you do in your Jeeps, I love to see it even though I cringe when I see damage to them but I respect it. I'm strictly in love with the all round athlete the WK is for real world driving. And my real world in Canada is a harsh mistress. Take care and safe Jeeping!

+Voose Lagina most American cars prior to 1910 were RHD.

[@G55STEYR]

At 12:44 only with front LSD or locker would climb. Maybe with a good 4-ETS also. I know I'm subscribed

[@AussieFourWheelers]

Both front and rear were locked on that obstacle. You can see the CRD at the same spot @ 13:34 struggle a bit with only the front locker. The rear wasn't locking because the wire to the diff solenoid was disconnected. Since then we've rewired both front and rear diffs on separate selectable switches in the dash.
