You’re probably right. Sounds like that’s the issue with the diesel option.
Is it just not enough space for a big enough radiator and fan?

Space in the engine compartment of any JK/JL is tight. The size difference between the largest radiator you can fit without cutting the firewall in a wrangler vs what comes from the factory in every 5.7 hemi ram 1500 is still not even close.

If Jeep would like someone in the consumer market to test one out for a bit, I’d be willing to help out.

I was going to say the same. I see the Grand Cherokee SRT8 starts at $68,895. I think they would sell, but it is more than I would be willing to spend

Wouldn’t a nice v8 hemi but not a SRT or a 6.4 be more practical and not have to cost as much? Maybe not as many problems overheating and other issues too? Seems like you would still have more hp and torque and it would sound better than a v6

This is accurate, but could and most likely is for the J9. To my knowledge the J9 will only be available in the industrial market. Not trying to rain on the parade either, but rather offer the most logical explanation.
Now if a few show up to KOH this year to race, I don’t have an explanation to that...

Just when I am starting to look for a new Jeep for my wife they announce this. Guess I will have to wait and see the final details (price) before getting a new Jeep.
But man the v8 does look great with the half doors. Like many have said worried about the Dana44’s though.
So Jeep please don’t make the wait to long if it’s really true.

Too much media hype so you know it’s coming! I agree. I’m a couple years out we’ll see if my Hydro gets sent to Holly Michigan for a transplant or gets traded in. Lol

Mine would get a transplant before ever getting traded in. Too many memories in that one. I will need another work truck in about three years though [emoji848]

It’s a dig at the bronco commercial, with the vehicle emerging from a pack of horses. Here Jeep is scaring the horses. Chevy better think up some horse shit and get in on this.
