Gas engines and transmissions have made huge strides in the last decade, whereas EPA has forced a decline (or at best stagnate) of overall progress on diesels.
Not sure I would agree with that statement. 10 years ago a typical diesel was around 300 hp and 600 lb/ft of torque. Today, it is around 400 / 850. Today's diesels are quieter, cleaner, and with DEF at least as fuel efficient, probably more so, than 10 years ago. Doesn't seem like a decline to me.
Totally agree.
Best part they have the power right out of the box!
