fully agree but the information dug through from the VW side show that Bosch knew from the start that this pump would have issues with the standard USLD sold in the US. It's only taken them 14 years to make it functionable. maybe
Personally, it should be required by law that Bosch demonstrate what they changed for the revised pump. Not only that, but demonstrate proof of testing with validated results.
Otherwise, for all we know this is another way of them tampering with our diesel trucks to fail early to get more of them off the road.
Remember: The government hates us diesel owners. On top of that, the generalized negative stigma toward diesel engines and their owners was greatly increased by Dieselgate, people tuning their trucks to belch out black smoke, many other facets along with plenty of misunderstandings of how properly operating diesel engines function.
Just look on the forum here, folks all excited about their diesel truck, then the engine blows up at 20k miles. Or the HPFP leaves a user stranded in Timbuktu. That leaves a bad taste in people's mouth too.
Then you got the rest of folks on here that are either diesel enthusiasts, or have the common sense to know that diesel is better for transportation and the environment.
