Some people are leery of technology. They don’t believe or trust it. Doesn’t mean they are correct but there is no way to convince them otherwise.
Good point. I read this from the perspective of a 40 year diesel career. My biggest issue, as noted in a few posts, is that emission deletes HURT the diesel industry. Regulators, and the public, will simply demand outright bans if their perception is that diesels blow black smoke. Probably inevitable considering they believe CO2 is killing them, but these are amazing machines and I like them...Some people are leery of technology. They don’t believe or trust it.

I know people who still insist on carburetors over injection. They insist it makes more power. Fortunately they have moved past points and a condenser.
One of my all time favorites.
I fucking HATE peddlers!!!
In California it’s been illegal to mess with factory emissions since 1966. In the rest of the country messing with factory emissions has been a violation of federal law since 1968. It has generally been cited as a correctable offense. The feds have never gone after individuals for tampering, leaving it up to states to enact their own statutes. States without “Non Attainment” areas never had to enact such statutes many other states have but don’t enforce them. Even in California it’s rare to have a tampering violation unless they are targeting street racers.In CA, it's been illegal to mess with any factory emissions system since 1974!!!
All these guys doing "tunes" have been knowinging doing this in full violation of the law since day one.
It was just a matter of time.
With that being said...
They will have to pry my Superchips Tuner from my cold dead hands.
add in the huge impact of decreased mpg due to the emissions crap along with the increase in service needed as well.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), which requires DEF, IMPROVES fuel efficiency dramatically. Service work is a valid concern. Hardware additions and the impact on landfills, OK, maybe a slight increase. We're talking whole trucks here and the percent increase of stuff. Pretty small percentage.

While pouring fuel over board.
Yeah I know a few people that have had to put their trucks back to stockUghhhhh......
New Jersey Is Allegedly Scanning Facebook For Coal-Rolling Diesels and Threatening Sellers With Jail
The New Jersey DEP is using Facebook Marketplace and other used car sites to track and locate diesel trucks without factory-compliant emissions systems.www.yahoo.com
It also makes the clean diesels look bad and gets them banned. It perpetuates the reputation of "dirty diesel".
Call Kennedy and get SAC injectors when you change them, i did mine a little over a year ago and they have been awesome.Most likely you were behind an LB7 Duramax that had a set of injectors going bad.
mine are starting to get bad again, bone stock truck too.
You should be lit up for "rolling coal" it's a huge safety issue. It's also a sign of a junk tune or tunes. I don't know why any tuners write these in for clients as it draws attention to themselves as well.
What year was your new one again? If it’s a 19/20 and the pump swap hasn’t been done wait…dealer won’t do it if deleted
Sorry to hear about your misfortunes. A good tuner also knows the limits of the engine he tunes.
Right.... Flat out patheticToo bad the government doesn’t put as much effort into finding and prosecuting people who steal elderly people‘s life savings as they do looking for a few smog violators.
I guess some people are more tender than others.
Or illegal immigrants.Too bad the government doesn’t put as much effort into finding and prosecuting people who steal elderly people‘s life savings as they do looking for a few smog violators.
That's always been my biggest fear. Is it just the big fish now, then move towards individuals later? Would they go retroactive?
I'm sure those individuals think about it from time to time.
Well, it was a sad day when my diesel rolled down the ramp...it had all my guns in it too
I hope your transom never has any soot on it
2016, the new one is a 22,
I also bought a 6.0 in 2005. My wife looks at me sideways whenever I look at a Ford after that ass-raping experience with the 6.0. The shame is the rest of the truck was amazing.
I have one that just rolled 100k miles on the last river trip and is in pristine condition. Will not be getting rid of it! I bought it from the original owner a few months ago, funny thing is he offered me $3k more than I paid him for it the day after I wrote him a check because he realized he fucked up getting rid of it. He was not happy when I said no.
From what I learned being in the trucking industry those were the blunder years of modern emissions on diesels. Even class 8 tractors fell victim to all the new laws and engineering mistakes. I agree you probably could not fix your truck without deleting stuff and needing some kind of "tune". I mean, can you imagine trying to fit all the newly engineered stuff onto it? Nothing would fit, it would be a nightmare and $$$$. Apparently now things are engineered a bit better and we are just past those blunder years. It will never be as reliable as a dead simple old school (like pre 2000's?) diesel or marine/industrial (emissions exempt) with zero emissions controls on it, but whatever.
How appalling that is good sir.
When you make a living by the mile the last thing you want is to be in the shop constantly due to emission issues. I can see why they delete their stuff…
I get it. Just figured they would have cleaner tunes or be worried about gettting rolled by a state with emissions requirements.
