How nice that failing a direct, cogent explanation to support your previous claims, you have simply resorted to vague insinuations instead.
A simple Google search of "2009 Duramax DPF problems" indicates that even the LMM suffers from the same issues as every other truck running this backwards technology.
All percentages and likelihoods aside, I have never ever heard of DPF problems on a truck that does not have one.
If someone really wants to do cleaning up of the air, they should put an end to the strip mining and dirty refinement that goes on in the foreign nations that supply us with a great deal of the rare metals that go into our environmentally "friendly" technology. Just because it goes up in the air in Asia, rather than America, does not mean the planet is any cleaner. It just means we get to bluster and honk about how "clean" our nation is, meanwhile living under the same sky where all of the fallout from the "clean" technology ends up.
But at least a lot of it is not our land, water table, flora and fauna being systematically eliminated by the demand for these eco-friendly products.
You and I do agree on one thing, though. There are definitely idiots out there who are going to see a diesel truck making smoke and think they are actually helping the environment by whining and complaining for greater testing and more eco-technology that will shift the ecological damage to another nation, and then exponentially multiply it in those foreign lands where environmentally disastrous practices can be conducted unrestricted and unaccounted at a net loss to the health of our planet. If only so many people in this state weren't struggling right now in our local economy, it might actually have a ghost of a chance of gaining support.
So many people who have been driving around in their post-consumer product whose greatest environmental impact was already made years ago, would be forced to purchase a new vehicle, sending them into tremendous debt, and contributing to greater demand of a new cycle of destruction and pollution that is the construction of a new vehicle. However great or small that may be, it is more significant than if been done at all.
