Any Skiers drive Diesel?

TRUTH! you people in your jacked up pickups are the ones melting the ice caps and killing the polar bears

you should trade in those stupid gas guzzlers and get a fabulous prius like me

have fun sniffing your own farts.

diesel emissions are heavier than air and therefore sink to the ground, going nowhere near the atmosphere. whereas the emissions from a regular gas vehicle are lighter than air and go up into the sky and kill our planet.

 
no, diesel is the cleanest way to drive. besides maybe a hydro-powered engine or one of those magnet engines. but in a showdown between a prius and lets say.... a VW golf, the VW will be a cleaner running car.

jeremy clarkson says so..

 
diesel is more efficient, cleaner, and cheaper to run and maintain. There's a reason so many 1.xx & 2.xx liter turbodiesels flood the european, South American, and Asian markets.
 
i'm not saying your statement is false, i just hope you don't think diesels are carbon neutral and don't contribute to global warming ...

they still emit a decent amount of fossil CO2 and other gasses and particles that attribute to global warming

+i'm no expert but i think the diesel soot isn't very healthy either.... i'd need to look into it when i have some time but i think that it's one of the driving factores of smog, and i think we can all agree that altough it's not global warming, it isn't very good either ...

 
i'm just saying, you cant be serious about defending diesel trucks as unharmful for the environment ......
 
studies have shown that while the gases emitted are less harmful a large amount of the soot rises- people say bullshit I can see it fall to the ground- thats the large particles seen with the human eye- the smaller particles float away- these coat the inside of your lungs- causing you to get all fucked up
climate change not so much- cancer or lung diseases fuck yes

 
yes 33s are small. just regear and run bigger tires and you wont noticed to difference. 40s on a yota with 5.29 gears with a 4 cylinder and still push 75 80 on the freeway.
 
the soot also affects global warming in a strange way, it gets transported through the air and is deposited on ice and snow, thereby changing the absorption/reflection properties and contributing to melting of the icecaps and global warming ....
 
i guess i am but i own a trucking business and use it to haul big trailers filled with just about everything and need a big truck
 
granted you can say soot is harmful for the environment all you want and everything else.. I am not going to argue those facts simply because proving you wrong isnt worth my time.

On another point in all reality these trucks aren't designed to smoke so in running them the way they are released from the factory they are much healthier for the environment. Actually studies have claimed that in a newer diesel truck with the regeneration process the air actually comes out cleaner than it goes in... Now how is that for environmentally friendly.

And that being said the current emissions things are actually making diesels less efficient that they could be with a water meth injection system. Currently a diesel produces some gasses which are then cleaned up by the regen process (reburn). If they allowed the use of a water meth injection system these gasses would actually never be created in the first place plus you would get better mileage and more power.

Now I know that went over most of your heads but really shut up about how bad they are for the environment.
 
and i never said that they didn't harm the environment either. I'm saying a small diesel car will run cleaner than a prius.

so i guess that we are on kind of the same page.
 
I want a 2500. I don't have much use for a truck that big but I love trucks and think diesels are way cool.
 
check!

If you check out some stuff about the prius, it is only rated "amongst" the cleanest cars in the US, it isn't even "the" cleanest :P

i'd rather wait 5-10 more years on a decent electric/hydrogen car or something with good mileage/range than spend it on an ass ugly prius :P Which imho was only designed to be a shout for attention, and you'd have to give it credit for being a pioneer, but in the end it's not going to be the solution ....
 
diesel on one car, normal + gas on the other. Diesel sucks atm though, since its like -15°C in the morning and it just wont start :D
 
I have no idea why everyone has a huge fucking boner for (domestic) diesel trucks, Maybe I am biased because I live in Alberta, land of the douchebag Diesel daily driver but if you rarely pull anything why would you buy one? their heavy as fuck, slow as fuck, expensive as fuck, especially to fix. I have numerous friends with every single kind of diesel and the only one that gets similar mileage than my 6.2L Denali is a 6 cylinder cummins. Still costs more because diesel is far more $.
 
i have an early 2003 dodge ram 2500 heavy duty with cummins HO engine, 6spd manual 4x4. almost stock, pretty much my work truck. not my daily driver. but cummins for the win for sure, my diesel i had before was a 97 ford f 250 with the 5 spd manual tranny, 4x4, and the good ol 7.3 powerstroke engine. loved the truck, and loved the engine. but now that i sold that and have my cummins, i gota say im a cummins fan now, but i love the older 7.3 diesels , and would still buy one if i could find an older model that was maintained well and doesn't have a million miles on it yet...., but ya , im def a diesel fan for sure. even tho mine is my work truck and i dont drive her aton. but when i do , damn, its hard to beat that cummins / manual tranny package , thins hauls like there aint nothing behind it. pulls my 3 horse , indoor tack room, fully steel trailer without even breaking a sweat, and alot of times i also have my camper on with the horse trailer in tow. and it handles everything without even breaking a sweat, even better than my old 7.3 . have not owned a duramax so cannot say anything good or bad about them, but i know i would never by a duramax for myself.
 
cant wait till i get my first diesel and roll coal everywhere, especially liberals.

OP's truck is a mall crawler smh has that ever been off of pavement?

This doesn't even make sense, but it is a perfect example of why people hate diesel trucks. God I'm glad I don't live where people drive these anymore

aka roll coal on prius's I meant liberals as in yuppies, aka people like you who hate trucks
 
1996 12 valve is my dd. Not to mention its twin turboed and runs high 7's in the 1/8. I also pull a 8500lb trailer everyday.

My boss owns six diesels, three bikes and a prius. Not your normal mix of vehicles.

He is. He even dropped out of school as a high school sophomore. Super great guy though. If any of you are having a wedding/huge party, I'll plan it for you.
