[@scottivlow9962]

Honest question do automakers deserve to lose millions or billions when they settled with their EPA when they had to pay their fines? After doing so they all claimed to admit to no wrong doing. After watching EPA doing its thing over the last decade you come to find out, just how hypocritical some diesel owners have been regarding the 2010 EPA Diesel regulations from the big manufactures to the small business owners. So here lies the hypocrisy: Ha! Ha! Ha! VW you got caught with making your ecm tell lies when doing an electronic emission test now you have to pay billions. "Oh, that's so funny!" Of course Volkswagen Group wasn't the only one to have to pay a major fine it was one automaker that just had to pay the largest at the time. Every manufacturer from, Ford, GM, and former FCA,. I think even Toyota, & Nissan also got EPA fined for violating the Clean Air Act for their Diesel made trucks. When they all settled their civil penalties no diesel owner stood up with the manufacturers when they all got heavily fined. There never was no rally cry for the Automakers, however because they never made big time news that ruined the name brand image truck owners would continue to buy the newer diesel trucks regardless of the fines they had to pay. After the VW Group Diesel scandal VW owners even started having a class action lawsuits brought against VW. They expected their diesel cars would be clean Air compliant, so they stood on the side of the EPA. In the last few years right after Diesel Brothers got fined in Colorado the automotive news media took notice so now you a bunch of diesel owners defending the small shops for selling and or installing illegal emission systems that should have been meant for off road use only, The Diesel Auto shops didn't protect themselves with making customers sign waiver forms or asked owners the question are you using a your diesel delete off road use only before selling or installing illegal aftermarket parts? Yet when all the diesel manufactures were caught violating EPA regulation diesel owners weren't real quick to defend the manufactures when They all got with big time fines. They got laughed at. So in 2018 the world changed. Did America deserve to lose the option for a diesel engine choice for cars and 1/2 trucks? Why do you think VW doesn't sell diesel cars in the US anymore. Take note! After decades all the Auto manufactures were selling millions of diesel cars and light trucks but after the VW diesel scandal the diesel engine vehicles dried up faster than a VW TDI.

[@invictusbp1prop143]

It’s all performative and money grubbing. I used to do air emissions testing at refineries, manufacturers, chemical plants, plastics plants, etc…. All these facilities are required to purchase permits from the feds and state environmental agencies . The cost of the permits is based on the type of pollutants they emit (VOCs, O2, NOx, particulate matter, etc.) and the volume of each. They estimate what their emissions will be and pay for an initial permit to get started on any new process they put into production. Then when it starts running they’re required to provide a official testing reports outlining how much of what pollutants they’re emitting using official testing procedures set forth in the Code Of Federal Regulations. The permit holder is required to hire a 3rd party testing company who comes out with a mobile laboratory and uses specialized equipment, analyzers, collection apparatus, etc capable of real time monitoring of many pollutants and often do on site sample processing and provide immediate preliminary results in order to optimize processes then conduct official testing on actual production runs. The results are presented to the regulatory agencies and the customer upon completion. Results must be within the parameters of their permits. If the permit holder is unable to produce within the permit limits, they are in violation of that permit. To continue production as is, they just have to “amend the permit”…which just means pay more for permission to produce your product by increasing your permit cost commensurate with the increase in each pollutant being emitted. Pollute more, no problem, just have to pay more. And the testing is done by an outside contractor hired by the permit holder. The regulatory agencies may or may not have a monitor/inspector come out during testing to verify the scientist contractors are performing the testing per the SOPs and properly handling samples and calibrating equipment and using proper lab procedures and calculations, etc. There’s no way they can really verify everything’s above board without being prohibitively invasive. And they aren’t even always on sight to check anything. They do audit test reports sometimes where they go thru and check calculations and make sure the science is correct but it only catches people who make dumb mistakes or blatantly try to falsify results without being smart enough to do so. Bottom line is that the people doing the report work for the plant that needs certain results. If you know what you’re doing, you can easily manipulate results if you’re that kind of company and working for that kind of company. In my experience most permit holders legit want to be in compliance and not exceed their permits. The risk is pretty huge as they can lose permits if there caught cheating. But getting caught being over is a simple financial transaction. . The regulatory agencies for the most part are only regulating how fat of a check they receive on each permit. There are obviously limits they wouldn’t allow to be permitted. But they’re huge numbers. Pretty much any modern process producing anything in the states is designed to be within reasonable parameters, unlike China or India. Anything we can’t produce here within reasonable parameters they have made in China or India. Anything not super filthy they produce here, just has to maintain a margin that’ll cover the cost of the permit. It’s not about making the plants run while producing the lowest emissions possible, it’s about making sure they collect all the money they can based on their maximum allowable pollution levels.

This is just another example of the government agencies over stepping. I'm curious, as a former military member I know he has let his command know if his situation. Is his command at least being supportive of his situation??

[@tombragalone7250]

The problem is that we shouldn’t be asking big brother for anything we need to be telling them!!! They are supposed to do what we say!!! The clean air act is a joke, cars and trucks as a whole produce less than 1% of the pollution the big factories produce the rest. It’s all a huge scam (carbon tax) for the government to collect money. All the crap that they put on vehicles now days to make them “clean and efficient” are not reliable, not efficient(decrease fuel mileage). Why do you think the military vehicles don’t have any emissions at them?

[@joellemay1109]

I wonder if he could give it away?🤞🏻

[@drkies]

People need to begin focusing on the solution rather than just the problem. Advertising these raids is doing the governments job for them.. Solutions vary depending upon your situation of course, however the most important thing to do is limit your liability using corporate structure or LLC. If you own a shop, form a corporation solely to perform 'emissions' work. Have a unique bay assigned and charge rent and labor to that company, as well as separate payment routing. That corporate shell then becomes the target instead of your home or entire shop! They will take everything you have if you let them.

[@melissamares-salinas9465]

Every single person that gets fined by the EPA or any kind of trouble needs to all not pay it and refuse it and stand up against this b*******

[@Boom-Freaka]

i agree, but it comes down to when you go and get registration at the dmv they deny giving it to you because they are in bed with the epa and carb. If epa says your in non-compliance then they send that info to the dmv, and trust me i would love to give the dmv a middle finger but that just opens another can of worms.

[@lawsontroya]

Not to go off topic or anything but isn't the EPA off base? Isn't the diesel is a more efficient engine as the pollutants go into the air and quickly fall to the ground? Where the gasoline engine puts out pollutants which stay in the air? You ever been to San Diego? Look north and try to see a blue sky. You can't. That's because there are more cars in LA County than anywhere else in California. I remember seeing a blue sky in San Diego. Yes I'm that old. Now it's brown.

Are there companies selling delete parts outside of the USA? Can someone go to Canada or Mexico (for example) any buy parts? If so can the EPA go after them? With all that is going on here in the US I cannot imagine anyone continuing to sell parts deemed illegal by the EPA. Clearly at present the EPA is making examples of guys like this and given the fact that he did break the law (like it or not) he now has a real big problem.

[@jerrydlaughrin2880]

The clean air act is a whole joke. Nothing but a joke. You have these big jets flying around putting tons of pollution in the air. You have these cruise ships they don’t do anything about them all these cargo ships all they’re putting tons of pollution out there in the air Yet they’re worried about us driving our diesel pick ups and trying to make them cleaner by modifying the computer or something else on the truck to make them work better and make these engines last longer. Our government is upside down totally screwed up and they don’t know what the hell they’re doing at any given moment one man says something, and then the other one says something else, they don’t know what they’re doing. They’re like clowns in a circus chasing each other‘s butts. I think I better quit while I’m ahead before I get thrown in jail for saying something that really pisses them off but I am glad that my 1997 pick up came from the factory, without all that stuff on it it’s a clean pick up with no EGR valve or soot can or anything else on it

This video is missing points. Yes, the message of selling certain parts for a VIN'd vehicle is clear. Yes, we all know certain Federal agency actions are perceived as an over reach of authority, this has to stop, repeated over and over. However, what are the specifics on this? What is the EPA claiming this guy, and other shops, are selling that is illegal? Parts and/or services? What modifications are illegal?

It’s all over reach for trumped up charges. As far as EPA agents being armed, that’s impersonating a law enforcement officer. Everything he sold is power enhancement products to improve engine and fuel efficiency. If that’s a crime, to reduce carbon emissions and improve gas mileage, aren’t they contradicting themselves??? What if he was able to sell a product that allowed a vehicle to get 100-1,000 mpg??? Big oil would make him and his whole family disappear permanently. Power tuners and accessories are not illegal to purchase, sell, or install for use. If they reduce emissions, so what??? I’d tell them to go f##k themselves.

[@scottivlow9962]

This is stupid that trucks owners can't be given the best advice about what you can legally do. What you can't do under any circumstance is manufacture or sell any type of autopart[s] that involve any type of emission diesel delete parts or that will alter a trucks emissions. This is the most easy question to answer. If you do this you won't get hit with EPA laws. What can do outside 11 the States that don't enforce CARB EPA rules. You can do with your truck what ever you want with it. The EPA is not going to take action on your own vehicle. They are only going after illegal part sellers. However with EPA crack downs your not going to buy off road diesel delete systems like were 3 years ago when the EPA want after Diesel Brothers. There 11 States that have adopted CARB rules. You going to have to abide by those 11 States EPA in order to keep your truck legal. There are legal and compliant diesel tuners that don't tamper with vehicles diesel emissions. With EPA enforcement there is no reason why has to have a diesel delete in order to race off road competition. If your 2010 truck or later is emissions compliant then you should be compete with all other trucks that are also compliant. Your always going to have truck that are always going to have I want my truck to have such and such more horsepower and willing to put off road parts that tamper with every aspect of emissions to do it and will say hell with EPA. Ok then but if your truck can't one of 11 States smog test law I not going to feel bad for you if your State tells to get your truck back into compliance. However for everyone else go put the smoke in the air I don't care.
