Duramax class action suit

Duramax class action suit

"General Motors Co. has been hit with a class-action lawsuit alleging it equipped 2011-2016 GMC and Chevrolet diesel trucks with 6.6-liter Duramax engines that are not compatible with American diesel fuel."

What surprises me is that I had associated this issue with the Powerstroke more than the Duramax. The base issue seems to be common knowledge here.

  • They(the plaintiffs) are not going to win that lawsuit. While I agree that GM should have added a filtered lift pump on their trucks and are very stupid for not doing so, the basis of the plaintiff's argument is just not valid because many other makes (like my BMW) used the CP4 without these issues. If they want to sue someone, then they should sue the EPA for forcing a stricter NOx requirements than needed which is why GM had to move to the CP4 pump in the first place.
