thats just like there trying to get rid of 2cycle chain saws come on.what about the space shuttle? what about china and no pollution laws and mexico. i recently went to a cummins engine seminar and honest to god they told us that the air these new motors suck in is dirtier then the air they expel in high polution areas like california that is what they say. honest. you better hold your horses though. cummins has a prototype out that runs 240 degrees with no absolutly no water jackets its all insulated and ceramic coated. new garbage trucks are electric powered. they are using 48 volt systems. in the near future i would say in the next 5 years again they stated they have prototypes out but didnt tellus what they were finding they said with 48 volt systems very very soon you will start finding electric driven waterpumps and ac compressors. no more 100 dollar water pumps on these there talking 500 dollar+. i am trying to learn all i can about these new motors and so far i dont see much of a way w/o alot of work to "just reprogram it forget the polluition garbage and give me a real truck" that seems not an option. i dont understand how more fuel usage= less pollution in the long run but supposedly someone ahs done the math. if there so much cleaner and better running hotter beter burn why are they using more fuel is what i dont understand. also on your new kiddy try rebuilding the injectors. they are firing 3+ times now. a little fuel pre tdc to get the thing started a big charge and then a post charge little to finish it thats wahts getting your quieter motors not one big bang anymore. i do understand that about new motors
