PING --> bill hughes

sir, i know you hate diesel engines in light vehicles for fear of pollution. in addition to purchasing an '01.5 cummins powered dodge this week (for a work truck), i also purchased a 2008 cummins powered dodge ram with the 6.7 liter cummins (

). what i find most interesting about it is that it meets 2010 emmissions standards. not only does it pollute less than gasonline engines, but (read this twice!) the exhaust from this truck is CLEANER than the air that goes into the intake. thats right, the EXHAUST going out the tail pipe is cleaner than the air that goes into the intake thanks to the particulate filter.

im wondering, with this being FACT (i can post segments of the dodge/cummins produced video that explains it) how do you now feel about diesels in light vehicles?

Hey Nathan - since it is a filter that is doing the dirty work of taking out the nasty black solid particles, do you know if it needs to be cleaned/changed/emptied/whatever on a regular basis?

(My $0.02: I'd love to see them in more light truck, car, and hybrid-electric applications, just for the high MPG potential)

the filter burns off the particulate thus regenerating itself.
