And I suppose your word over the guy in the video is correct right ? That you know more then a diesel mechanic right ? Or anyone for that matter. You think that because you can't actually see the emissions coming from a gas burning engine that it's 10x better then a diesel ? To be honest man you sound like one of those know it all guys. Where no one else is right but you.
My point was that no one actually knew that op was out rolling coal just because he got a letter in the mail about it. Like I stated before I've gotten one and I've maybe rolled coal twice in the 2 years I've had my truck. The bottom line is that diesels produce suet to make power and improve fuel economy. AS I STATED ABOVE I DONT THINK ITS COOL TO ROLL COAL.
You wanted me to back up what I said about it being as harmless as a gas engine and I showed a video of proof whether you believe it or not. What proof do you have besides your thoughts ?
I'm done with this topic. People on here are so quick to judge before they have the whole story
Kwood sorry to jack your thread and make a big argument. Enjoy your duramax before the tree huggers put them off the road for good

OK, the gloves are now off.....
It actually takes a lot for another persons ignorance to piss me off, but you managed it.
First, Kwood DID say in as many words that he had been rolling coal.... Your reading comprehension is piss poor at best...
Second. In the video that YOU shared, which is not what I would call a Nobel prize winning piece, said how harmful to health and environment diesel emissions are. Apparently you had selective deafness when that part aired... The dipshit mechanic was just down playing it based on absolutely no factual information at all.... But you bought it... What is he going to do? say " yeah what we're doing is actually very detrimental to the environment and can cause severe adverse health effects... C'mon man... Just because there is no law saying you can't do it, does not mean that it should be done... They aren't in California, or even the U.S.
It is like comparing filthy dirty coal fired power plants in China to ours and saying "hey, they do it"... Ever seen their air quality index? You can get cancer by going outside for an hour during the day.
Third, I do combustion analysis for a living. So yeah, I probably know quite a bit more than you about the subject.
Fourth, the proof is in about every air quality management study that has been done over the last 40 years. Not to mention the National Cancer Institute and the American Lung Association and the World Health Organization.
Mining companies spend buttloads of money trying to prevent miners from breathing spent diesel exhaust, this is not even speaking directly about thick black soot.... Diesel exhaust in general... So your saying the high carbon content shit you can't even see through is completely environmentally negative...
Good luck with all that...
Doesn't matter to me if you are a coal rolling fan or not. It was your annoyingly obtuse attitude toward the whole thing. In other words, a mentality that gives you the illusion that it is socially acceptable. I assure you, it is not.
Wake up gentlemen. We only have this one smelly dirt clod... Once the fat lady sings, it's over.
Oh yeah, and it was 200X better.... not 10X. Again, reading comprehension.
