    half ton diesel - why?

    half ton diesel - WHY? "customers craving this" V6 3L turbo, egr, dpf, manufactured by italy's vm motori, owned by fiat/chyrsler & gm. What would the duty cycle need to be for this to be trouble free? since it's so much smaller than 6. 7 will be ok to get groceries? OK... will be interesting.

    Navistar & epa fines

    Thought this interesting. EPA ruled that Navistar can continue selling non-compliant engines if pays a fine of up to $3,775 (maximum) per engine. That's 2x what they were paying.

    air dog/fass question

    If you go to air dog or fass system do you have to keep the stock fuel filter? I have heard that the stock fuel filter can be bypassed, removed and blocked off.
