Diesel engine costs to go way up in 2010!

duramax_hood_small
In 2010, all diesel engine manufacturers must meet very stringent new EPA emmissions standards. Most every diesel will incorporate a new diesel emmissions fluid (DEF) tank which wil add the requirement of keeping this extra cost maintenance fluid’s level at a required volume or the engine performace  could be reduced. If it gets low enough, the system will not let the truck go over 4 mph!

GM’s early estimated price increase for the new diesel will be in the $4,000 range. That means a new diesel engine in a light duty truck may hit $12,000!   

Rick Hendrick Commercial  sales has procured a substantial allotment of new 2009 and 2010 Silverado one ton chassis cabs with current emmission Duramax diesel engines that will not  incur the hefty price increases slated to begin after January. Now is the time to get your diesel truck at a great price savings and take advamntage of year end business tax benefits on vehicle pruchases.
