Yeahbut the Duramax 3.0 sucks for serviceability. IIRC the engine has to come out every 150,000 miles or so to replace a belt on the backside. Stupid design. -Curt On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, 2:50:01 PM EST, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote:

Yep, it sucks and I would think it would be hard on the starter, battery, and engine. I guess if it gets the fuel economy up by half a gallon that is all that matters. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 15, 2020, at 2:07 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > I wouldn't want it on any car.
