2005 gmc yukon remote starter

 theres nothing wrong. i was just razzing you a little about the screen name, yet you drive a Yukon.

(huge gas guzzler) just struck my funny bone thats all .

P.S. welcome to the forum, i look forward to any future posts or questions from you gogreen.

We seemed to think that your screenname was GoGreen.  You know Earth Friendly, Hybrid Vehicles.  Solar Energy, things that a Yukon totally does not go with.  You did nothing wrong.

That's right my screen name is go green i am just jocking with ckeeler, i like his sence of humor and there is nothing offensive in his comment. my next dream car is a hybrid honda but for now i have no choice. i am no longer a fan of big trucks or old carburator junks.

If global-warming from CO2 emmissions is the real problem, how is it a band-aid? The technology sounds more like a tourniquet. Mercedes has been delving into Blue Desiel Technology, for some time. I believe it's supposed to be done through the cat-conv internally, with no resevoir.

well, first off ranger, who said anything about global warming? i didnt. the only person here who mentioned anything about it was you. i am speaking about the grotesque consumption of fossil fuels by this country. thats the real problem! i dont even know if global warming is from CO2 anyway (it seems more like a political idea more than anything else). as for blue diesel technology it was first thought of by the Swedes. and "Delving into it?" dude they already use this technology now, here! all comercial trucks from 2004 had to reduce emissions by a certain amount so all the manufactures went with an EGR system to reduce to NOX output. then, in 2007 all trucks had to meet the US07 standards and so all the manufactures of trucks from 2007 on now have whats called a "DPF" or "Diesel Particulate Filter". a DPF has a ceramic filter built into the exhaust system that catches all that nasty black soot from burning diesel. it has what is basically a catalytic converter right before that. what happenes is there are all kinds of temp sensors and pressure sensors before and after the DPF that monitor how hot, and how "plugged" the ceramic filter is. once the filter reaches a certain level of being plugged, a light on the dash starts flashing and the driver pushes a button. what happens next is there is another fuel injector AFTER the turbo just upstream of the exhaust system that starts injecting unburnt diesel into the exhaust and into the catalytic converter. it now starts to burn inside there and create heat, ALOT of heat. temps reach nearly 1200 degrees inside the CAT and DPF! with all the generated heat, the soot that is in the DPF is all burned off into ash and kept inside the DPF. once the delta pressure sensors see that the DPF is not plugged anymore the injector stops injecting fuel into the exhaust and everything goes back to normal again until the DPF is full once more and the process starts over again. (this process is called a "regeneration" or "REGEN"). The DPF will finally hold so much ash that it has to be replaced with a new one (they already offer remanufactured ones, they cost nearly $2500 new), which so far seems to be about every 150,000 miles or so. and finally......in 2010 in addition to the EGR and the DPF, yes in ADDITION, the manufactures will use the UREA system as well. the EGR only cut down on NOX gas emissions, then the added DPF systems reduced the amount of soot and particulate matter coming out of them, and now they have to reduce the NOX emissions again with the UREA system. there was a company or two like International, who didnt want to go with the urea system so they thought they would try whats called "massive EGR" which is basically just what the name says it is, but the power loss and mileage loss was so much that they have since abandoned that idea and will be using the UREA system instead. it all seems like pretty cool technology, but it still just a bandaid! a bandaid for the real problem, which is the fact that we burn way too much fossil fuel! so instead of a bunch of enviromentalist EPA people telling these truck manufactures they have to meet such and such emissions standards, and them dreaming up all these cool ways too do it, what if they told them..."you have to be able to achieve such and such mileage." what kind of technology could they dream up then to acheieve that? thats really what we need to be doing and striving for.
