The supreme court ruling was very simple. A law can not be implemented by a government agency. The individual agency of the government are in place to enforce laws made by congress. So the question is simple was DEF, and other clean air acts rules and regulations implemented by congress. in my research the answer is no. The clean air act was put in place by the EPA. So in my opinion none of the clean air act was ligament legislation therefore the laws are not legal. That said many won't disagree so if your prepared to fight for your rights and the rights of others against the will of the manufactures delete away. However if your not prepared to take it to the supreme court your stuck being an obedient citizen and not a free patriot. Make no mistake your freedoms are not free. The facts are simple politicians let the depts do the dirty work because then they are not responsible and won't be held accountable in the voting booth. Then the lobbyist get involved and push for the rules they want to benefits their business. Make no mistake Diesel engine manufactures want emissions and all the car manufactures want laws that make them install safety equipment because it makes them more money. The manufactures were not happy and showed their hand when Trump said CA couldn't have a higher standard of clean air than the rest of the country. GM was not happy because it was going to cut into their bottom line. In Trucking DEF breakdown have added Billions of fees in breakdown occurrences. Their are to many people making money off these regulations. None of these laws are about clean air. All of these laws are about the money it cost to install, regulate, and maintain.

Alot of the engine manufacturers were pissed about the emmisions laws, like for example the red top n14 cummins, they were forced to stop manufacturing them cause epa said they emitted too much emmisions and the n14 red top cummins was their best engine they ever made, same with catapillar. Now lolets get to the def fluid, they say the def fluid being injected in the exhaust lowers NOX, how does it lower? Well when the def pluid is injected in the exhaust system above 400°f there's a chemical reaction that happens, they say during the chemical reaction of the def fluid it creates ammonia and it takes the place of NOX thus lowering the "carbon imprint" isn't ammonia toxic aswell and causes other environmental issues, and don't forget that plastic bottle that you have to throw away to save the planet!

[@chrishowell9499]

@@A1rs1ck yes, they say that they are pissed to the public but lobby for the changes. They seam like they are on the side of the consumer but they are as crooked as a politician. When The government said that CA couldn't have a stricter level of emissions than the rest of the country at the federal level GM jumped to the front of the line to complain, because the extra mandates give them an excuse to charge more money for their products. As competitive as corp business is they are all operating on the same models. Maybe some manufactures are not on board but they all profit from this. Any heavy duty road truck with 350K Generates about 2 to 3 thousand permonth on dealer and towing services. If the EPA said no DEF anymore you would not see the manufactures stop. There is simple to many people making to much money on the junk science. DEF cuts the over all life of the engine by about half. Prior to DEF we used to go about !,000,000 miles on an engine (ISX) with DEF the engine goes to about 500,000 with sensor issues starting at 350,000. It's all a scam pumped by greed.

[@44hawk28]

Just to be clear, I do understand that the EPA was granted certain things by Congress to regulate mobile energized devices. What they did not do is Grant to the EPA, the ability to tell somebody who buys a mobile device, such as an automobile or a diesel pickup truck or whatever, that they cannot delete these things on their own. And that legal mechanism occurred in 1976 when the state of Washington tried to get after a man who had removed the catalytic converter from his 1975 or 76 Chrysler Cordoba. As it turned out, as memory serves me correctly, it came to a point that they insisted that the car polluted more with the converter off of it then with the converter on it. So they tested the vehicle in both conditions. And it was actually cleaner without the converter. But at the end of the day because he had done it himself he was not subject to the law in the first place because he is not a licensed mechanic or a licensed repair facility. And the EPA can only exercise authority over repair facilities and certified mechanics who are working in Commerce!

DPF/DEF EGRs on Diesel engines are nothing more than money pits and cause those type of engines to constantly break down. Creating those emissions type products cause more emissions than the vehicles themselves. The biggest copper mine is in Escondida, copper is what is used to make the insides of a DEF exhaust. Container ships are used to transport that copper. There are roughly 10,000 container ships in service. Those ships run on diesel motors that have NO emissions on them. 1 of those container ships produce as much pollution as about 50 Million cars. There are roughly 1.4 billion vehicles as of 2022 according to automotive market research. So if all those container ships are running they are producing enough emissions as 500 billion vehicles. So even if only half of those container ships are running that’s still enough emissions as 250 billion vehicles.

My brother in law used to work high up in the BP oil company during the Obama administration. When that bad oil spill happened, BP immediately called in the Japanese tanker ship to help contain the spill until they could stop it so that it wouldn’t spread, but…. As we know it spread for days until it reached land. Reason is, Obama stoped the Japanese ship and wouldn’t allow it into US waterways, and stoped BP engineers from trying to plug the spill, just so he could use his government engineers who knew absolutely nothing about oil, drilling, or oil rigs. Osama even put out a competition to engineers students to come up with their own solution, just so he could trick the public into thinking he was encouraging the youth, and make people think his administration was going to save the ocean from the big bad oil company. BP, their engineers, and my brother in law tried everything to get the government to back off and allow their own engineers fix the problem before it got worse, Osama said no. My brother in law interrupted one of Osamas officials in mid sentence and told him, “With all do respect, your administration is making things worse, your engineers know nothing about the oil industry, and that these BP engineers live, sleep, and breath oil, and their administration needs to back off”! It was until the oil made landfall the public started to demand more action, and Osama finally allowed the Japanese ship to cross international boarders and help contain the oil, and finally allowed the BP engineers to do what they know was best, and stoped the leak, and Osama took all the credit for something BP had been begging Osama to allow them to do from the start. And BP took all the blame. BP deserved the blame for the initial spill, but Obama was to blame for the wide spread pollution. All so he could say he saved everyone. Wake up people, this whole climate change, and green deal is a billion dollar scam. If you look at the worlds history of climate changes, we are over due for a massive, natural change, and that the air pollutants were way higher during the ice age, and hundreds of years after due to the burning of woods for heat, more natural volcanic activity, and other things happening.

The private meetings between BP, and the Osama administration was not televised. After the oil reached land, which was televised all over the world, and the EPA, and people of the world started to complain, then Osama allowed the tanker to cross our international borders and help contain the oil, so the blown hole could be plugged, which was also televised as the tanker showed up to contain the oil, which was BP’s plan from the moment oil started to spread from the blown hole.

Chevrolet had Banks Engineering set up something like a thousand 1500, 3.0 liter Duramax Diesel pick up trucks for the military. It is my belief that these were deleted (amongst other updates) legally by Banks for Chevrolet. Based on this, wouldn't all 3.0 Duramax units be legal (based on the approved mods done for the Chevrolet 3.0 Duramax units, or only the specific units built for Chevrolet.

To be doubly annoying, SCR that works to reduce NOx emissions (which contribute to acid rain and respiratory problems) actually INCREASES the greenhouse emissions as the NH3 is broken into N2 and CO2 during the catalytic reaction when combined with NOx and CO in the exhaust... DPF is a simple filter that pulls out particulate matter that is also a serious human health concern - again not a greenhouse gas mitigation technology. So like in all things in life, compromises are made and balance struck between competing needs for emission control. The best thing to do for reducing CO2 emissions is to use less fuel - and yes that is sometimes a result of removing these things. But the cost is increasing the rate of cancer and respiratory problems in your fellow road users, and thats not cool. But having said all that, the relative increase in CO2 from these systems is very minor, and arguably massively offset by the air quality and health outcomes achieved. The internal combustion engine technology is simply at a dead end.
