Stellantis charged by U.S. in dieselgate
Dieselgate, the gift that keeps on giving. Stellantis now charged for Ram pickups with diesels. Bosch is the common thread in the VW and Daimler vehicles, it will be interesting to see if Bosch engineered and supplied diesel technology to Stellantis’ Ram trucks, or to Cummins’ engines.

I don't think it's specifically Bosch. BMW also uses a lot of Bosch ecu's in their diesels and was hardly hit by dieselgate.
In the end it's the decision of the brand's managers that makes the fraude happening. BMW got fined about € 8,5million for a technical flaw in about 8000 cars, but that is pocketmoney for a big car manufacturer (VAG got fined 1,8 billion and total civil paybacks (mainly in the US) included summed up to 9,8 billion... ouch)

So don't read it. Nobody compels you to. The subject title is very clear.
I think your reaction is an insult to the effort of the OP. Your reaction doesn't contribute in any way to this topic.

I get to read anything I want and comment on it. It's an open Forum.

With that you become the epiphany of your own reaction.

I wonder if that makes buying a used truck a good investment

I said the topic is boring. I didn't say one thing to disrespect the OP, I didn't even mention him in my post. Relax.
