2015 Jeep GC Turbo Diesel HELP!

[meep]

If it were mine, and this is partly bc I’ve always wanted a diesel and have never had the experience, I’d really want to try to save it.

If there is metal present on the volume control valve, damage is done.

I’d try changing filters, put fresh fuel in and see what happens. If it runs decent, trade it in. If it doesn’t, you’ll have a difficult decision to make.

Diesels so much better back in the 70's. Its just too expensive to own them now so much to go wrong and very costly parts.

Assume the dealer drained the fuel/water separator. What did he find? If no drain then assume dealer drained fuel filter in a jar to look at it.

Either way you need to know diagnostic work the dealer has performed and what was found.

Not saying either way ripoff or not, but if you have a CP4 pump and dirty water got to it and grenaded the pump then $13K is not all that crazy for the proper repair. At least that's roughly the number for a Ford PSD that had the CP4 pump grenade.

The GC is being towed to an indie. I will keep you posted.
I appreciate all the guidance.
