Ok, I'll introduce myself. My name is Mark, and I've been a jeepoholic for three years now. I rarely post on this site, or any others for that matter, as I prefer to read and learn rather than rant.
Anyway, the point of this post is do get a general opinion on an argument excuse me, discussion between me and my wife, as to the "worth" of my Jeep when I get done with it. I'm about to drop in a Cummins 4BT. For those that don't know what that is, it's the same engine in the Dodge diesel trucks, but the 4cy version instead. It has the same torque as a 350 engine, but sounds cooler, especially the turbo. Anyway, my jeep is worth in the neighborhood of $5800 as it is. It runs fine, and looks great. My wife thinks that I'm destroying it's value. My opinion is that it will maintain it's value, or slightly increase it. I don't care really, I would just like to prove a point.
So, if you were buying a 94yj, and there were two sitting on the lot same mileage cond, etc. except one had a diesel in it. Which would you buy, and would you be willing to pay more for the diesel or less. Don't worry about bruising my ego.
