[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 143889, member: 217"] [SIZE=3][FONT=times new roman]That is correct once more companies realize the potential of diesel engines especially with the help with computer assistance controlling fuel consumption as well as real time diagnostics. Volvo, Mercedes, even VW are light years ahead of north american companies when it comes to diesel technology. The real problem is that none wants a vehicle to last for more that a couple of hundred thousand, I met the grave diggers brother who worked at Lithia ford, he told me that the reason american companies only offer a extended warranty when other companies off those already is people don't keep vehicles much more than 3 to 5 years on avg. American companies have built vehicles that have parts designed by engineers to last only a certain amount of time. The next thing will be is that it will be impossible to work on you own american made vehicle without the proper tools to reset the computer, its already like that now for foreign made cars like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti, they all make it that if you change the battery you need to get the computer reset or the cars will stay in limp mode until you do. That why I bought a accessport for my 09 BMW that way when I need to change spark plugs, even brakes , anything which is monitored by the computer will be to be reset. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
