Definitely hope the aftermarket has a solve for plastic oil pan as had a plastic valve cover on my old CJ and dammed if it didn't crack during an overnight Christmas Tree trip with the temp at 8f and ended up using the giant USFS sticky tag to hold the not setting epoxy and 4 parts together for the ride of the mountain.

I'm considering using the R2.8 In my '98 Grand Cherokee Limited in the immediate future. Strictly a fuel economy move in light of price increases. I like the idea of doubling fuel economy and having a motor that will out live me. Also considering a interim LNG/ Propane. Any thoughts on these two different approaches would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I watched your video with Nate last night. Watched the Cummins presentation. Thank you in advance for your informative videos.
