Re: 2006 Chevy Duramax Tops One Million Miles
 

There is a fair chance there wouldn't be an assembly plant there if the president hadn't backed the bailout.
I think even President Bush approved of it also-could be wrong about that,
Most congressmen voted to bail out the wall street crowd-and foreign investors-getting 100 cents on dollar on bad investments - but they were reluctant to bail out GM-measly $17 billion
Yeah the UAW drained the Big 3-plenty of blame to go around.
Hope GM and Ford can make a go of it.
Don't have a lot of faith that Chrysler will make it.
Their Cummins Ram is the only Dodge anyone "brags" about owning- it is is kinda dated vs Ford and GM diesels.

Keeping a vehicle running for many miles-especially a "young modern work vehicle"- has to be an environmental plus
Older vehicles-my 1998 Suburban for example- is inferior-maybe 20% more fuel consumption-to 2012 Suburbans-so maybe from a green point of view-not so good.
Early 1990's-mid 1980's vehicles are much dirtier than even late 90's-probably "bad" from a green point of view.

Besides-replacing that Duramax->$50,000-so who has a spare $50,000??!!
