Do Duramaxes Cheat Emissions?

Class action suit alleges they do:

deadspin-quote-carrot-aligned-w-bgr-2

It always puzzled me why the GM twins were so fast despite being even or at a slight disadvantage on paper (hp, torque, gearing, weight, etc.).

This one will be interesting to follow.

Of course, this could also just be another frivolous complaint to help line attorney pockets . . .

I'm convinced that they all exaggerate or out and out lye on reported data. I think it's only a matter of who gets caught and the significance and impact of the violation.

The EPA needs to be torn down, with everyone in it fired (and a bar on re-hire) and a new Environmental department created to replace it.

Everyone in it is a cult leftist with a communist agenda.

Diesels are SUPER popular in Europe.

Passenger cars in the EU - Statistics Explained

The preferences for whether a new passenger car should be powered by a petrol or diesel engine vary across EU Member States. In around two thirds of the Member States for which detailed data are available, registrations of new passenger cars powered by diesel engines outnumbered new petrol powered cars.

The EPA is a national embarrassment and a hindrance to our modern economy

Most gasoline cars on the road fail emissions to, there's just a stigma with "dirty" diesels......bugs the heck out of me.

This suit was brought by a law firm that is targeting any manufacturer that sold diesels and made claims in their advertising that they were clean. The suit against Mercedes was dismissed. I expect they'll go after Ford before long too.

All they need is a statement in a brochure or advertising touting the cleanliness of the emissions system and data that shows emission controls vary with conditions (which EVERY vehicle control system does) and then they allege that the consumer was misled by false advertising (which is the basis of the suit)

That's what happens when you have One Lawyer for Every 250 People in this Country (1,315,561 hungry sharks as of 2016 https://www.practicepanther.com/2016...-demographics/ )

They need to make a living so, like hungry sharks, they attack, kill and feed off anything and everything they can

i like seeing the hard numbers in thesse cases as of late with VW, GM etc. They are "polluting" like .1% over the limits, which the limits are basically nothing.


dont hold me to the numbers, just going off vague memory
