Right To Repair And The Chevron Deference - Does It Finally Have A Chance?

While nearly everything concerning the government has been dismal for decades now, a recent Supreme Court ruling has eliminated a roadblock that has led to destructive, repressive, excessive and nonsensical regulation.
This is potentially great news for anybody in the automotive world, American industry in general and especially those that believe they have a right to maintain and repair the machinery and equipment that they own.

What does this have to do with our rights to maintain, and repair machinery?

[@UncleTonysGarage]

The agencies involved with our machinery don't recognize our desire to repair them an actual right...and they're the current "experts".

[@joemcgarry1106]

@@UncleTonysGarage What is the connection between us repairing our machinery, and a regulating agency? Putting the regulation into Congress, and the courts will not serve the little guy. It will only allow the big guys to stall, and manipulate the system. The SOCTUS opinion was in support of big business, not the little guy.

[@UncleTonysGarage]

The decision was for neither the little guy or the mega corporation. The decision was to return balance to the system...what we the people do with that going forward remains to be seen. Now, apply logic to your assertment. Chevron has been in place for 40 years. During that time we've seen unprecedented growth in corporate size, power and of course debt. Now, if you remove Chevron from the equation, does it not stand to reason that a reversal of that trend is more likely than not?

Well us older guys have known about what it means to be a has-been drip under pressure for ages. Now for the younger guys and those in the back playing diddly winks, the pandemic response should be an eye opener about the credibility of ex-spurts. They are all motivated to back the narrative of their bosses, the sources of their paychecks. Whoever that may be. It's their job at stake. It's a tiny percent willing to go broke and be shunned simply for the sake of being neutral. And those guys are always labelled quacks by the opposing side. But that's why it's important to be able to let opposing experts present opinions in court. Otherwise it's just authoritarianism.

Louis began his fight against Apple as he was repairing so many of them that were rejected by Apple's own repair shops who were telling customers they needed a new board at $1500 for a device that costs $2000 when the only thing wrong is a $0.35 capacitor. The "Apple way" is to just replace something because there's a new one out! Then Apple started using tactics to make it impossible to repair their boards. So he started the Right to Repair cause! But this spans into something every one of us own, our cars. Even in my generation 2 escape (2008-2012) I have to own an $8000 scan tool with a $2000 annual license to use that scanner in order to fix my own truck in many ways. For instance, if my seat gets tore up and I get one in near brand new shape from a junkyard, I have to take it to a dealership for a couple hundred bucks to have them connect the scanner and tell it to simply re-calibrate the seat sensors that run the (gov't mandated) 2 stage airbag systems, or pay $10,000 and $2000 more every year to just put in a new seat. Today's cars newer than that are RIDICULOUS with the amount of things you need a scanner to resolve, why can that not be a part of the user interface on these stupid screen filled cars???????? Wanna change your car battery on these cars that shut off and restart at red lights....take it to the dealer and have them do it or spend $10,000 to do it yourself because now the battery has to be calibrated to the system! This government overreach is getting really ridiculous. I don't have kids, I don't need rear set kid lookout protection. I actually know how to back up a vehicle using my windows and mirrors rather precisely...I don't need mandated back up cameras. I won't be drunk driving, I don't need mandated drunk sensors (it's coming in 2026 as a mandate...or maybe even next year). I don't need LED headlights, I don't need a stupid screen covering my dashboard, I don't need tire sensors, I don't need built in WIFI. I don't need a LOT of the junk they are requiring us to spend money on when we want or NEED to buy a car. I will continue to buy G2 Escapes until I can no longer find them in good shape and I will repair them until the government pulls something stronger than the last thing they did where they gave you good money to turn in your about 10 year old vehicle and then the gov't bricks the engines. The WILL be doing that again when the new drunk sensors come out I promise, and it will be by force this time. They may not come take your car but they'll make you pay a lot for plates and such, and force the aftermarkets to stop making parts available....they WILL do it. When that happens, it's time to overthrow our insubordinate government. I could say more but rant over, nobody reads this far anyways.

And my 2nd comment: you touched on diesels Tony. Heres the the thing nobody ever points out about diesel emmisions: less efficient engines use more fuel!!!! I know for a fact that the original Dodge Cummins equipped 4x4! trucks would get over 20mpg city. And close to 25hwy empty, unloaded. And that is a lifted truck with 3.73 gears and 35" tires no less! Although the engine was completely stock, and untampered. I know this because I've owned them and studied the mileage myself! I currently own an '06 common-rail injected Cummins truck (only emissions being a catalytic converter). Truck is bone stock with manual transmission. The best empty, unloaded mileage I have ever gotten city is 17mpg. I have never gotton over 21hwy empty, unloaded (all figured long-hand math on paper). Now, the '06 will out-pull the old mechanically injected 6bt hands down. But, at what cost? Pulling 10k lbs on mixed Arizona grades? The common-rail gets 10mpg or less. The old 6bt might take a little longer to get there. But, it would still get 15mpg. And, at normal operating temps. I constantly have to stress over temps in the common-rail. I see people throwing big mileage numbers out there all the time. "My truck gets 28mpg city. I get over 15mpg towing. Bla-bla-bla". I'm calling bull-shit based on my experience in stock, factory tuned trucks. My point is: using more fuel is never better for the environment. Never. Which brings us to your video!: I own a machine-shop, and have made parts for a company called Bullet Proof Diesel. It's owners have gotten quite rich making parts that will survive on these stupidly over emmissions equipment laden late model diesel trucks. Why do I mention this? Because: the EPA has taken engines that should, and used to!, last 500k miles, and made it so you are working miracles to get 200k. How is this environmently friendly? Think about it! The resources wasted to manufacture that many more parts! I mean seriously, think about it. This goes far beyond the fuel pump. The mining, the raw materials, the power (Electricity! Do people have any idea how much electricity a steel, iron, or aluminum mill uses? More than you can fathom) even the recycling of raw materials is intensly power hungry. All in the name of engines lasting less than half as long! That is the real scope of what is happening to the environment. And it never gets mentioned.

The buyer knew the repair scenario before they purchased the equipment. Farmers and business owners don't want to make non-trivial repairs to warrantied equipment. They want timely service and would like a mobile mechanic to come to the equipment rather than the "owner" pay to haul the equipment to a dealer. But the purchaser knew the restrictions when they purchased the equipment. In some cases, a handheld scanner and another device could reflash the firmware updates. In other cases it's more complicated. When a novice repairs a sophisticated system, they can make mistakes that a dealer mechanic can clean-up - but probably not under warranty. A farmer can negate some of this by keeping some older equipment when the state-of-the-art equipment is broken.

In a perfect world what Tony described would be how it works. Unfortunately we have too many judges that want to make policy and laws from the bench - and this allows that to be much easier to do.

Notice how I don't pick a direction because we have judges that lean hard either way.

So if Congress hasn't passed a law pertaining to an issue then the agency can't make a regulation on the issue, they will need to have Congress make a rule/law to address the issue. In a nut shell it removes a lot of rule making power from the Executive Branch and gives it back to Congress, as it should have been. Only problem with this is that Congress is FUBAR so ya it's going to be an endless SNAFU.

I'd like to know where the federal government derives it's authority to tell us what MPG a vehicle should make or how much energy an appliance should use. The EPA should be abolished if not reduced in size and have the states take this over since there is much more environmental awareness than decades ago. For example, the hotel and restaurant operators along the Texas Gulf Coast like fishermen and families spending money to vacation, so there is some incentive to work with industry over water pollution concerns.

The agencies are to influence or guide laws introduced by government according to the data, science, or field of particular expertise....because the law makers are not the experts in any given field. Therefore, would not have the ability to pass laws in interests of party or a corporations that may disregard impacts or effects to others. The agencies in there expertise of particular subjects are used as the check when cases or suits are brought to court. Because again, the law makers are not the experts. If they are trying to be, it's solely for control and power. Think about.

Now, people can bring up emissions qualifications with the EPA on their classic vehicle. The EPA has always been against aftermarket fuel and spark control systems vs the stock configuration. It has always been strange to see the EPA pass a carburetor on emissions, but never an aftermarket fuel injection system with catalytic converters. If you beat the emission standard for the model year, you should be able to keep it on the vehicle, I say. This is mostly directed at emission controlled states like california.

[@seanlevoy9446]

The day after the ruling I cut the catalytic converters out of my truck, welded in straight pipe and reprogramed the computer. Did I jump the gun

Removing your catalytic converter is still a federal offense. Don't incriminate yourself on a public place like KZbin.

So basically, checks and balances, are based on a weight and measure system, set by a few who say we are part of the S.A.E standard, and yet are doing everything they can to have everything metric, made outside the U.S., and then fed to the U.S., at a impractically high nutritional meal charge rate, and then pay off the justice system to define the words they use to define justice for all and equality, not even based on actually material value, but off a credit system they imagine, just like they image a piece of paper they keep printing, is of any real value.. So basically, everything is an illusion and a lie, and only is true, if we all agree collectively, on the lie.. And that is just a fraction of an oversimplification.. But since everything is metric, I'll say that is just a decimal 10th, of what and how it actually works. Cause it is all only true, if it is answered simply. Any context or depth to any explanation, adds variables to the truth, that make it all self evident it is all false, and a big fat lie.
