Few things: 1) Legitimate clean diesel tech is sound, and only getting better. 2) I worked for GM for years, several under Lutz. 3) His prior accomplishments and professional contacts have exactly zero to do with him thinking in his big brain clean diesel is dead.

Came here to post this. I'd believe a Car and Driver magazine intern before I'd entertain Bob's ramblings.

Written this way on purpose. Ineffective little men love playing dictator.

I'm personally impressed with how professional diesel tuners can write a tune even on bigger diesels that will significantly improve performance/drivability with no or nearly no visible change in soot output. It just seems slightly immature to take those leaps and bounds tuners have accomplished...

Start with where the downpipe connects with the turbo. Then check the manifold. I would then check the EGR and other emissions devices.

$2.09 in Central Texas. I'll take it.

I'll test drive one when they come out. Will be interesting to see real world unloaded/loaded MPG.

Yeah, that truck isn't on a road. Offroad means offroad. All the members falling over themselves for the EPA are going to be really butthurt when the EPA makes diesels extinct. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't buy one for $24 grand.... but if I won one, I wouldn't sell it. If that makes sense.

I've had two KA24 powered Frontiers. Neither one ever gave me a problem. Some on fuelly have 400+k on them. I dunno about the V6 though, never had one.

Can't blame you. I'm eager to hear about the FR-S as well. What are your plans for it? Any mods?

The trick is finding a road that isn't crowned. If you let go of the wheel and have to grab it from going out of the lane within a second or two, get an alignment. That's my technical method, anyway.

You're right. The twelve (12) separate recalls on 02-04 Trailblazers does not accurately represent their build quality. :rolleyes: I was a customer relations manager for GM for 4 years. I feel qualified to speak on this subject. Enjoy your Camaro.

GM, where quality is job *cracks up*... Couldn't keep a straight face.

If you're still considering having the dealer do it, consider the following: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=355037

You can go to school, but you can't buy class.

Yep. When I did customer relations for GM, quite a few extended warranty companies just went flat belly up when the economy crashed. People paid thousands for a warranty from a company that didn't exist a month later. If you do want an extended warranty, I would stick with the brand specific...

Preach it! Idiots keep trying to re-invent the wheel. Makes zero sense.

I got a new old truck a few months ago too. So far so good! Congratz.

He doesn't have the firmest of arguments. I would think he's going to have a hard time with the societal norms and sense we have erected in our brain over time. The jury might be of the long-standing opinion that the number of frivolous lawsuits grows very noticeably and substantially, and...
