I'm not so sure the values are gonna take a hit. 90% of Duramax buyers want a "Duramax" they could care less if it pollutes a little more than it should. They bought the truck because of, reliability, comfort, looks, towing power. Don't really see that changing:confused:

Ohh I bet you'd be surprised.. Thats one of the nice things about GM trucks is their ability to hold value. If customers and share holders start pulling back you'll see a hit..

We need much larger DEF tanks to carry alot more fluid ,that way the nitrogen from the DEF and the beneficial carbon dioxide from the exhaust, will grow the grass , shrubs and trees along the interstates ,it will be like Jurassic Park. I see all the new state job potential ,having park rangers giving tours , concession stands,all the added maintenance ! The Tree Huggers should start an organization to pay all diesel truck owners for doing there job !

A quick facebook search shows the first name as a owner at "EDGE Motorworks" and the second owner definitely looks like a hippy. First guy has photos racing a AC Cobra, as if thats good for the environment. :confused:

So does that make my federal emissions 02 a unicorn worth 30k since people want 15-20 for a pile of shit 12v?

"She's got two injectors leaking by but all that does is ensure she gets the engine serviced every 500 miles. I know what she is worth so no low blows.

To throw the icing on the cake they are in the process of putting a stop to the use of R-134.

What highlights the duplicity is that VW is allowed
To sell their new stock '15 Tdi's that were pulled off the lot.

As soon as .gov had their payment, the concerns over the environment magically disappeared. These guys are just parrots, gm will probably have a field day with it if they are above board. With the amount of emissions related dtc's since '11 im inclined to think GM calibrations were close to or below the requirements. Then again they did fail with the ignition dealio so time will tell.

Hmm, reading this just made me wonder if those newbies who came on here a while back asking for the specifics to delete an LML were actually part of this lawsuit instead of being EPA mutts like I thought.

I sure wish Trump would hurry up with the swamp draining.

The EPA should be completely shut down, and the buildings burned to the ground as they leave. Maybe before the employees leave......

I wonder if I should wait not to over pay on a lbz or pull the trigger! Makes decisions even worse now.

Well when some creates an account and thread within 20 minutes and asks "anyone know a local shop near Pasadena that can delete my truck" one can only assume!

Probably should just ban any new registers if they ask about (how to) delete within, I don't known, maybe their first 5 or 10 posts
