Were you hoping for something like "StumpPuller(TM)"? :huh:
I don't think that's the point, but to each his own.D0dgeRam1500 said:I don't like it on the Grand Cherokee either. I feel that the diesel should have a name like the big diesels do but not EcoDiesel. The whole EcoBoost thing is a joke. It offers the same mileage as a Hemi Ram 8 speed. Also they are currently having an issue when it rains. The truck loses power in the rain. I think all of these companies need to get rid of the whole "Eco" thing in the names. I doubt someone who doesn't likes trucks will suddenly like them because it says Eco on the side.

Hi Randy, you've read my mind. I think this engine is a great option but I'm more than tired of hearing "eco" this and "green" that just because the guy in the Whitehouse is a zealot. I've already decided to avoid anything with eco, sky, or green in the name and if I can't I'll rip the badges off.GLHS60 said:Is it just me or is the name a huge turn off??
Thanks

Works for me!Stratuscaster said:Were you hoping for something like "StumpPuller(TM)"? :huh:
Absolutely correct on the regen. We had issues with that on fire truck designs. Some of it was getting it right with Cummins and some was just plain customer/user confusion.ImperialCrown said:I am impressed with the 50-state light-truck emission certification. ULSD and DEF will make this all possible.
The early BlueTec diesels did have EGR and soot-to-ash regeneration issues. Hopefully the regen software is right. It was tricky.
Another problem was folks using Bio-diesel to try and save money. Used cooking oil and agricultural-grade diesel also caused problems.
I would like to see clean diesel succeed. City and school buses around here are being converted to clean diesel and the horrible exhaust odor is gone. They now smell almost like popcorn.
They aren't.AllanC said:It is interesting to note that Ram is claiming to be the first light duty diesel.

I received a lot of flack when I referred to it as Eco-Hype, but Americans do, for the most part, like style over substance.dak4x4 said:+1,
And it's lamer still since Ford went Eco crazy.
