These idiots were catering and pandering to the other idiots and put it on TV. Being stupid should hurt and it sounds like this time, it did.  |
People like you will give this forum an unpleasant environment. You may be a diesel vehicle owner, but not much of an advisor of them. I myself am a proud diesel owner of many reliable, fuel efficient diesel trucks. First of all, for all of these "dumbest of dumb society" for which you refer to, maybe you should reread your article before posting it. English 101!
After market products are not a smart move on new diesels trucks, due to fines and vehicle warranties, but they do enhance performance and reliability of these trucks. New diesel trucks are designed purely for fuel efficiency vs. smog emissions (which do destroy these engines). So, some diesel owners do turn to beating the negative aspects of the self-destructing process of the emissions on these expensive engines, that do save on MPG - ie, less fuel used...
'Diesel Brothers' are good people, and do good things for their fans and charities. May be pay attention to their episodes and you will see.
