What suggestions or advice is available for buying a GMC | Chevy truck? What should I watch out for -- the GOOD and BAD? I want to come back to the GMC | Chevy family. For over 20 years, we owned a 98 GMC Suburban, putting over 230k miles on it myself, and I LOVED that truck. Other than typical wear and tear -- I never had any problems or issues with my Suburban. I am looking at 2016-2022 -- GMC | Chevy 1500 | 2500 series, all trims (4x4), except the base models. My budget is around $35k plus'ish; yes, I understand my budget limits what I can get. I am a USAF retired veteran living off a fixed income. Yes, we tow hitch pull RVs and various trailers, but not as often as before. What are the GOOD, BAD, and UGLY these days on the GMC | Chevy trucks? Is the additional price for either diesel and/or 2500 worth it? SHORT STORY: so, a few years ago, I bought a 2015 Ram 1500 4x4 EcoDiesel 6cyl w/turbo Lonestar -- well, I have been disappointed with Chrysler | Fiat (FCA). They lied about the EcoDiesel, and after forced recall ECM updates, they sucked all performance and mpg from the truck. Buying a newish GMC | Chevy, I do not want to fall into what happened with my 2015 Ram. When I had my suburban, I never had so many recalls, been lied to, and never had poor performance. Thanks for any suggestions that you will provide -- Gary (ExFalconFxr) -

Ford Diesel Owners Sue Over Clean Air Act Violations
Gorehamj posted a topic in The Newsroom Archive
John Goreham Contributing Writer, GM-Trucks.com 1-11-2018 Ford is the latest automaker to be sued over emissions from diesel vehicles. This time, it is owners who are alleging that Super Duty pickups are not in compliance with emissions control laws under light loads and while climbing grades. The 50-state class-action status suit filed in Michigan alleges that Ford’s diesel pickup trucks emit up to 50 times the allowable levels of oxides of nitrogen. Bosch is also named as a co-defendant. Bosch and Ford worked together on the Super Duty’s diesel emissions control system. Bosch has lawyered up, and company spokeswoman Alissa Cleland released a statement saying, “Bosch takes the allegations of manipulation of the diesel software very seriously. It is a well-known fact that these allegations remain the subject of investigations and civil litigation involving Bosch. Bosch is cooperating with the continuing investigations in various jurisdictions, and is defending its interests in the litigation.” Ford denies the claims. "All Ford vehicles, including those with diesel engines, comply with all U.S. EPA and (California Air Resources Board) emissions regulations. Ford vehicles do not have defeat devices. We will defend ourselves against these baseless claims," according to a statement sent by Ford spokesman Mike Levine. Since researchers at West Virginia University developed the methods by which a diesel vehicle’s pollution output can be monitored while under normal operating conditions, it has become much easier for testing agencies (or lawyers working for a class of owners) to empirically measure how much emissions are produced during actual driving, as opposed to on the EPA test cycle. Whether or not the Ford Super Duty stays in compliance during operation will be relatively clear cut. It is very doubtful that lawyers representing this group don’t already have that test data. Assuming the data does show that the truck is not in compliance in real-world scenarios, Ford will have the choice of playing dumb, and taking FCA’s approach and offer “repairs.” Or Ford can defend itself and say that the emissions were not faked. . Except that Bosch is also involved. And Bosch has already settled a previous diesel emission faking case.
