    Lmbo. It was one of his suggestions. Did you listen to him, or just have your pre conceived notions formed when you posted it. Also, he said open a window go figure.

    The point of the video is to demonstrate the effects of CO2 on human cognition. It's not only an issue of steadily increasing the global average temperatures. When it makes you dumber it's a more personal issue than something that you can only see with lots of data (aside from lots of freak weather).

    I'm not pointing fingers. I'm telling it how it is. You're just plugging your ears. Like I said before, I'm not a manufacturer or the government, but I can try to inform people about their misinformed opinions. I do what I can, which isn't much, but it's something. If we were not polluting at all then the planet would be in equilibrium and could balance the natural output of CO2 as it did for millions of years. Curiously, the amount per year increase in total CO2 levels line up pretty well with our output. If you think about it for half a second you'd realize that that natural system wasn't made to handle increased production through unnatural means.

    The emission system are getting a lot better I would say. Today we know more about them and how to take care of them.

    The DEF fluid filter needs to be change every couple years. We should clean the entire system about every 250,000 miles. They have this foam you pump into the engine and it cleans all the soot out and off all the sensors.

    I bet not many people have seen the Dorothy. It cleans out the soot from the EGR system using a tornado action. No moving parts and it something the engine makers could not even think of doing. They says once you take to soot out, the engine is using a lot less DEF. It's still running the original emission system so it 100% legal.

    It sounds good but is it proven that it helps? I guess it is too soon to see. Unfortunately, after Turbo 3000D bad reviews things like that are looked by many with quite some skepticism to put it mildly, myself included.

    On one hand a truck stacks exude cleaner air, on another you have a production of DEF and all the waste with so many trucks disposed of at 400-500K miles. I bet nobody wants to pay to research that. Give me the right amount of money, I'll concoct a study showing how that can be attributed to a cancer rate too.
     
    Eldiablo, D.Tibbitt and Opendeckin Thank this.
