Since you have access to all the data, how about you tell me us how many class 6,7 and 8 units were bought back by the OEM due to excessive warranty claims and inability to fix the issues. All I have is having watched Units come in to work on the hook to have equipment changed over to newer chassis or gliders.
I'm not trying to discredit the Data on fuelly, I'm merely stating it does not provide enough variables to sway this argument.
Whatever warning the OEs had in advance for new standards was CLEARLY not enough, if it was CAT would still be in the market.
You keep telling me to not own a diesel, but what you can't wrap that over educated brain of yours around is the fact that the cost of all this **** gets passed on to the consumer. It substantially queered the entire truck market. The trucks were just flat out problematic out of the gate and people are still scared.
I'm extremely curious to know what your actual job title and salary is.
