- Cummins is not involved in the FCA thing yet. It's only the 3.0 diesel.
- so the Ford lawsuit must be coming next week right? Nissan must be after that.....

That is how it started with FCA last year and it eventually led to the EPA getting involved earlier this year.

Shiner is 100 percent correct, there were a hand full of owners that were approached by the law firm asking to test their trucks. Next thing you know FCA is in deep dodo with the EPA. You can bet that GM has the very same AECD's that FCA/Ram is using.
The question will be did GM and Ford report them? Since their 2017 diesel trucks got the green light form the EPA I would think the answer is yes and we won't see the EPA going after GM or Ford. That is only a guess on my part though. Ford will be next as you can bet your the house that the same scumbag group of Ambulance Chasers are testing Fords diesel right now.

common supplier in all this is R Bosch right? did the arrogant europeans think nobody would catch on, do they think americans are stupid?
I'm pretty sure the cummins engineers are responsible for the calibrations that are installed on the engines and then sold to FCA.
I thought FCA said they would go after cummins for financial damages.
I find it interesting that the world's 15 biggest container ships create more air pollution than all of the cars in the world.
and ironically, they could be the very ships delivering car and truck parts to the US. !spoon059 wrote:
I have to wonder how much pollution is estimated to come from vehicles, as opposed to chemical companies, power companies, manufacturing, etc. Seems its easier to put strict regulations on vehicles, which may or may not be the primary cause of pollution, and ease up on commercial enterprises.
We have gotten to a point where the air is substantially cleaner, and that is something for which we should all be grateful... but to make the regulations more and more draconian doesn't seem like the right way to do it.

So 700 and some odd thousand owners of these trucks are concerned about the emissions levels of these trucks to the point that they're filing a suit against the manufacturer? If they're so concerned about the environment why aren't they driving Prius's instead of 3/4 ton and larger pick-up trucks?
I'd like to see you pull a 12000Lb+ fiver with a Prius ! :BShinerBock wrote:

How highly paid is your lobbyist. You don't pay him/her millions per year? That could be the problem.- Will have to check the donor tally, but I'm guessing the front office will make this problem disappear.
