Re: how come... deseal
I think Isuzu/GM need to release a 4 cyl based on the duramax.
Sure they've got the 4JX series at 3L displacement, but we need something a little bigger but still 4cyl and reasonably compact. |

They all stink, and are perceptible by me and my nose. I fully admit that in North America, the German diesels have the most advanced emissions controls. Now if I can smell the newest ones, tell, IMO my statement is still valid. As for domestic pick up trucks, well if there is a nice clean running diesel that stinks as little as the gas engines, I have yet to see it. This includes the 2008 Fords. (However, if/when truly clean diesels arrive, I will wholeheartedly endorse them!) As for me being a diesel hater................ I LIKE driving diesels!! I have owned 9 diesel trucks over the years. But I HATE driving BEHIND one!! |

Re: how come... deseal
I agree MagicRat. As we've discussed before, no matter how clean the new diesels are they still only account for a small percentage of the diesels on the road. I'm gearing up to buy my wife a W126 mercedes diesel. Biodiesel is available pretty easily here in LA so we'll still smell funny but at least we won't smoke
