Sure, and allow all of our beautiful natural lands to be polluted by big corporations. Let's go back to the deregulation of pollution in our waters, the soil that we farm on,and the air that we and millions of other species breathe, because that's the sign of a truly free and great nation, right? Allowing for the poisoning of our entire population and effectively the entire world is the mark of TRUE freedom! Do you have any idea the extreme damage that getting rid of the EPA would do? You don't want to find out. We need the EPA to enforce regulations on corporations, who would otherwise dump toxic chemicals into our waterways and into our air, more than we're already suffering from. There are already carcinogenic PFAs in most of our water systems, but that would be the least of our worries should the EPA get dissolved.

I had a friend pulled into a random roadside inspection with his cummins in NJ. As a part of the inspection they plug into your OBD2 port to “capture” your tuning. I’m not sure exactly what their software does but it corrupted his tune, he needed to be towed home after that and couldn’t reload his tuner. The company he had the tune thru is no longer in business, his trucks still sitting inoperable. If you get inspected DO NOT let them connect to your truck!!! He later spoke with a lawyer who explained NJ’s delete law is a state level, they cannot enforce federal law. After a lot of research the lawyer suggested registering your deleted trucks out of state as NJ cannot enforce their emissions laws on a vehicle not required to meet them. Per the interstate compact, NJ has to honor the other states registration and whatever their laws are. The suggested state was Montana, you can form an LLC in Montana and register your vehicle to your “business” which gets around the requirement of updating your registration, because the vehicle now belongs to an operating business. And best of all there is no sales tax in Montana! Screw NJ!

The DPF is designed to make the truck to go back for repair. The DPF & the EPA were cracking down cuz guys were rolling coal. It’s the governments way of saying🖕to your freedom to do whatever you want to your truck that is also buying less fuel because of how high the prices are & in some places u can’t get a DPF or DEF to keep it going cuz the parts are not there. These DPF trucks should be serviced at 3k because of how much soot gets slipped past the piston rings because of the excessive back pressure causing premature catastrophic engine failure that is far worse for the environment than a little NoX gases out the tailpipe. This is a significant government overreach that should be shut down, & get rid of ALL of the regulation. De-Regulation is the best thing for the environment rn because of the waste of the DEF jugs.

All this started when one monitoring station at a set of lights in Germany went over the recommended limits for DPM Diesel Particulate Matter. This then was the test case and extrapolation of data worldwide. Here buildings and traffic delays prevent the normal dispersal of DPM to acceptable levels. An easy solution would be to redesign the traffic grid to enable less stationary vehicles, so a more efficient transport network would have helped in a big way. Don’t forget European vehicles went through a huge period of small diesel transportation of passenger vehicles because of extremely high Gas (petrol in Oz) prices. I myself bought one 2014 Honda CRV 2.2 4cylinder manual. Heaps of torque, very economical 5.5 litres per 100 klms worst case average per tank. Range up to 950 klms per tank. Try doing that with an EV. It uses piezoinjectors and runs very clean. This will be my last diesel, unless I buy a pre EGR, pre DPF anything. They talk about increased rates of lung cancer risk. What about the risk of cancer just from eating the highly processed food. Anyway, it is clear that emission systems themselves are extremely unreliable, extremely expensive to maintain on older vehicles. If everyone stops buying new vehicles they will have to change their minds. Industry will crumble, laws will be changed very quickly to “save the economy”. I think it’s time the public say enough is enough. The new vehicles are crazy expensive anyway. I can’t help but feel this is to support the incoming ultra expensive EVs into the marketplace and keep shareholders happy of course. People, have the ultimate say.

There is wording in the law that does not allow for modifications to emissions to any car sold as a CARB vehicle. So you can't have a race car/truck that removes or alters the emissions in any way, even though it will never see an American road. Hmmm. They are just starting with the Diesels. Some agency may even start cracking down on super high lifts and steel bumpers. Who knows, it only takes one high profile crash to get the ball rolling. Keep a low profile people.

[@acdii]

Gas tuning doesn't work around emissions, all sensors and converters remain in service, so tuning a gas engine is legal still. Removing emissions devices, which requires delete tuning is illegal. As long as everything it came from the factory with is intact, it is perfectly legal to tune a gas engine.

[@mikesamson1930]

My goal is to build a reliable truck with better efficiency. Basically more air flow and maybe a better optimized tune to burn more of the fuel. Sucks that they are cracking down on individuals now also. There are plenty of parts that I have seen have crap design that still gets a CARB sticker. For example the header for my Honda H22 with ports that are shaped for Honda D16 which are smaller and don't match hurting flow and likely emissions/economy. I feel that the EPA should have to prove something increases emissions instead of all the small companies have to prove it doesn't. I am tired of regulators doing things because they feel they are making a difference. Driving an EV may make you feel better, but all the mining has a huge environmental and social impact. Let get back to numbers and facts. At the very least if we can just pass standard emissions testing during an annual inspection, does it really matter what parts we have installed (maybe eliminate on the fly tuning if that allows us freedom to run more hard parts).

[@WesternReloader]

The EPA is a weapon, against freedom, nothing more. To suggest they are anything but is naive

[@Airon79]

I had been wondering if porting the intakes and exhaust would help with emissions and performance due to sometimes the injector pumps do run a little rich upon take off , kinda like old hotrods which were intentionally richened ( some people think it gives better performance but I think it just pours raw fuel out the exhaust [ I like the smell of those hotrods but it's a waste to me ] ) and I do remember being a truck mechanic many years ago you can change the horsepower of an engine by adjusting the fuel pump thus making it rich or lean therefore making them smoke more if richened . Although an bigger intake system would be an huge improvement but it could prematurely wear the engine or destroy it ; but I do think some engines may not have big enough intakes and exhaust for size of engine . Although maybe bigger air filters and replacing them periodically will help . Actually an bigger air filter would give longer service intervals thus maybe not exhibiting black smoke as often and thats if there is enough room for an bigger air filter .

Otherwise your wasting rubber at every light and corner. Hours wasted charging if you drive more then 30miles one way a day here in the desert. Ev are only good for city folk who have no other needs then work an groceries. If they stopped forcing it on the rest if us ill put money less people would fight it.

Not sure where you got your info on EV charging rates and range, but most EV released in last couple years can easily charge to 80% from near 0 in about 20-45 minutes on a fast charger and have at least 300 miles range. A level 2 house charger would take 4-7 hours, but those are only intended for when parking for a long time.

[@thelastdragon3242]

This is almost never the case unless you're comparing new vs already tuned. Many people tune their vehicles and have zero problems. With diesels, you're actually letting it breathe and potentially adding 100s of thousand of miles to the life of the engine. If they are torquing the motor up and stressing out the turbo, THEN you can run into problems, but simply tricking the ECM into thinking the emissions are plugged in almost never does any harm to the vehicle itself. Torqiung up a motor gas or diesel via ECM controllers can stress out a very confined, fickle system can have catastrophic effects if the tuner is not aware of what they're doing. Cheers, if you think I'm wrong let me know.
