Yeah? And what's wrong with that? Diesels equipped this way have no tailpipe smoke or exhaust smell. I'd rather be stuck in traffic behind a new diesel p/up than a gasoline powered p/up.

According to this article, only 200,000 old diesel trucks could be affected by this by 2010. At that time, the $25K might be better spent on a newer, more powerful and efficient diesel rig.
