It's popular sport here in PickupLand to modify diesel pickups so they dump more fuel than designed, creating big stinking sooty clouds along with a little more power and a lot more noise.  This is often accompanied with the installation of truckNuts.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DKB_SATX]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 13th 2008 10:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well being among those in crazy diesel tuning land my truck smelled like propane when it was stock reprogrammed the computer and did some exhaust work  and now it smells like a old diesel and blows black smoke like a big rig but boy does it go like a bat out of hell.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[HotRodzNKustoms]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 13th 2008 11:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for the carcinogenic particulates, HotRodz.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 13th 2008 7:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</guid><description><![CDATA[Aren't we all guilty here?

Good mpg and higher hp!

Around town here, Diesel is currently $4.00+, which is 25% higher than regular unleaded.  If the diesel engine gets 20% better mileage, than you're losing money on this deal.  Especially when you factor in the extra upfront costs of purchasing the diesel and the extra maintenance costs of replenishing the aqueous urea.  For truck drivers who do real hauling this could be an interesting choice, but for everyone else it's just a waste of money at this point.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Buckus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 13th 2008 4:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</guid><description><![CDATA["it will also be another fluid the consumer will have to maintain"<br><br>This isn't just Ford.

The Dodge Ram's new 6.7-liter Cummins exhaust system uses an "adsorber" catalyst made from precious metals (like a catalytic converter) instead of urea. Upside is no refills - it's almost maintenance free. Downside is the metals (platinum, paladium, rhodium) can rapidly change in price.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Levine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 13th 2008 11:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/13/new-2010-ford-4-4-liter-diesel-engine-scooped/</guid><description><![CDATA["it will also be another fluid the consumer will have to maintain"<br><br>Seriously, you just dump more in.
