thats why i started building my own trucks a long time ago. there are still ways to side step all the bull schite... obviously going out a buying a brand new truck and side stepping is not an option for most because they have regular inspection, for others the truck is under a car note for 10 years therefore not privately owned. if you start with something that falls outside the requirements you can put whatever you want how ever you want, under the hood. Commiefornia falls completely outside these possibilities because the citizens have voted to be ruled OVER and not represented.
Thank you very much, I do and did what the hell I needed to during the plandemick anyone who didn’t self sensored themselves and there family’s well being
The EPA gives grants to your local DEQ in a collusion scheme to "tow the line" With whatever the majesty demands. This is a conflict of interest. Local d e q's are accountable to the people they serve not the federal government. They flipped the script and used your money to defraud you In your reasonable right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All the while your e p a and d e q's disavow the FACT That solar radiation management, solar aerosol geoengineering combined with illegal public testing have been going on for decades Releasing sulfates oxides of metal pathogens Bacteria fungus mold lyme disease... In the name of furthering science violating informed consent and poisoning the public while continually restricting our freedoms and rights. EPA has no jurisdiction. They operate under color of law and must be ignored. We have no contract with them. And none of them can prove. Their climate change narrative because climate change is climate engineering.
There was a study not too long ago in California of all states. The def fluid is killing off the trees ability to process co2 back into breathable air. Yet they still push for more and more restrictions
@@haloreaper1000 We need a link to read such a study. That sounds like nonsense to me. DEF is a pain and wasteful but it gets processed into water vapor and nitrogen at the end.
@nspro931 the depths of Google have proven to be deep. But here in the states. Especially in the trucking industry. Rumors have been floating around for a few years about this study. And carb was the one that did the study.
Step 1 , delete all controls, step 2 go around smoking out intersections / people standing at the bus stop to show them who is boss . FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!
@@biffwellington1782 Try sitting in a car next to a deleted tuned truck at a stop light when the exhaust is pointing at your open window and they accelerate. There will be a puff of smoke and at minimum heavy fumes. Think about it, have a look at the soot a diesel engines lube oil picks up in a short time. Now think about that this is a small fraction of what comes out of the exhaust. Regardless, the smoky / tires sticking out beyond fenders / covered license plate people brought the EPA crack down on themselves.
@@bobroberts2371I have an old 1993 F-250 7.3 diesel IDI that's totally stock and has no computer because it's mechanical injection. The only emissions it came with was crankcase vent to the intake manifold. It has a light smoke when you take off with it and the exhaust does smell but that's the way the truck was built. I should not have to give up my truck because of the foolishness of a bunch of idiots. If I can't drive my truck then they can give me the $10,000 dollar's I paid for it in 1998.
I watch my EGT Temps like a hawk on my Duramax , and it never fails. I will pull into my garage and look at my Temps at like 800°F in the turbo, and the DPF is at 900°F and up. So I go for a 30-minute drive at 10MPG. you know, saving the earth😂. 😢
Wow. My 16’ LML never really goes above 500…usually 350-450 unless I’m towing. It’s on a diet and now has an aftermarket turbo but even with the stock turbo it stayed relatively cool. Good ole emissions!
you would regen less if you drove it like you stole it for the end part of your drive. the system needs very high egts to work properly the hotter the better
Its wrong to delete your truck but ok to do a wiener delete. Thats the system that we live in. Pardon me while I go puke. My truck runs great on a weight loss diet, has tons of power and dont role coal even with a 150hp tune. The only smoke rollin outta my truck is from the tires. What happened to America? Burnin rubber, eatin cheeseburgers, and shootin guns.
Well they are creating a emasculated society with weiner deletes in a hope when civil war comes again no "man" will fight back, another reason they are going after guns
As I understood it that due to a recent Supreme Court ruling in another case it was said the EPA did not have the authority to do the things they do to diesel trucks without specific legislation from Congress. Do I have something wrong?
My old 7.3 with a manual transmission gets about 19 - 20 mpg around town moving my 6500 pound (empty) truck. That tells me it's pretty efficient. It has never had a tune or modifications. My truck is not killing the planet.
@@aneyesky Yes. I've gotten anywhere from 17 to 21 depending on what I am towing and doing with the truck. I think the manual helps. Edit: It's also a 2wd.
Yes the manual is better on mpg, but my 99 long bed extended cab 4x4 7.3 gets 19-21mpg in the city and 25 plus on the high driving hard. It's is tuned. I normally run it at 360 HP but I can bump it up to 400 HP. So no it's not uncommon for you to get 20 mpg plus out of the 7.3. Why do you think they took them away from you
I live in a rural area and we don't have emissions testing. Their are to many politics involved especially today. My 7.3 isn't rolling coal 24/7 but I cant imagine all that exhaust restrictions on my truck it would be in the shop all the time. Like with gas engines the technology is out their to make these platforms run clean and more mpg but the all mighty profit ruins it. Its not just the EPA its the federal government.
Call it Federal Government is good, but E. P. A. and all groups, that call themselves government groups, usually don’t recognize authority of The Government Of The United State of America, nor do these groups support A Bill Of Rights. The Government of the United States Of America is the fourth amendment, that the highway is right, the people are right to use their highway and that car and truck are right for state and the people
@frankdank7507 Yeah spell check on a phone coupled with me not proof reading my comment. Along with keyboard warriors and one uppers just can't let things go. Also not to sound more intelligent your wrong
They’re pretty reliable they’re just kinda expensive to maintain bc most people dont change the def filter and run it low on def but the government does want diesels to belong to people who make money with them not guys who race them
Cat ain't out of the game entirely, look at the new 3406E offerings, no remanufactured junk. All new block castings, new head, new crank, new cam, new turbo but using a 1999 date code.
When you think about the small fleet towing company's 900 mil fine and some prison time 1.7 bil dont seem like a whole lot for a world wide entity that's many thousands of times bigger. I want to know what the fine go towards besides lawyers, and the Gestapo. Just seems messed up an unelected branch has so much power over our lives. Even our wash machines and dishwashers are ruined by the climate rules. The trouble I went though just to find a wash machine with out the water sensing fill level thing. Your channel still small enough to see my comment. I hope you are curious enough to do some investigating to see what the fine go towards. Atm I see nothing good from all these over the top rules. as everything has con that is bigger than pro
There is a Supreme Court case that has just had oral arguments that could drastically effect the EPA’s ability to make determinations and “reinterpret” laws into new regulations. The case is called “Loper Bright Enterprises V. Raimondo.”
Diesel Podcast subscribers I need to vent a bit. I grew up in a state that was the “birthplace” of hot rods, NHRA and so many other cool things centered around the vehicle. At 15 I remember this same state implementing its first emissions test. Luckily for me I drove a vehicle that was pre 1976 or what ever year the cut off was for the test. Today at almost 55 years of age today I would have never guessed that “simple” emissions test along with California’s own CARB would snowball into what it has become today with all its strength, influence, power added to the EPA’s reach. From restrictions on certain aftermarket parts being ordered/shipped to my home (state) to the recent emissions recall notice I received from Ram, it’s my belief, this all goes back to that “simple” test back in 1984!!! This unfortunately reaches the motorcycle community or virtually anything with a fuel burning engine that’s sold to the public. Why am I saying this? Well as I said I wanted to vent but also (and maybe I late to the party) but I wanted this to hopefully be a lesson/warning for all those out there in other states. But also I say this because it’s my belief that restrictions like this stymie growth and innovation at the grassroots level. Especially for garage guys like myself who love to tinker and pass down some things to his kids. ✌🏽🇺🇸🙏
Only the wealthy, or people who are willing to be car poor, can purchase newer vehicles these days. We have moved backwards from Henry Ford's idea of everybody owwning vehicles.
To have the least amount of problems with your diesel work truck is to always always be careful fueling, no dirt, no water, clean clean fuel with a good liquid additive is so important. Keep your oil clean, and air cleaner too ! Remember, cp4s are used in Europe and work very well as the European diesel fuel is better, higher cetane and more refined, unlike Americas diesel fuel. Have a professional fix your motor with tuning and get the best out of your trucks ! No water, no dirt and no def ! They can run so good and last a long time !
I have been in the semi truck industry for 25+ years. I work at a dealership now but have worked on all brands. The aftertreatment system is killing the trucks. The breakdowns, parts shortage and costs, and with labor rates being $200+/- it doesn't take long to build a huge bill. That cost has to go somewhere. We as the end user is who gets stuck with it. Now with shipping rates so terrible and fuel costs, companies are dying at a fast rate, and it isn't going to slow down any time soon.
You nailed it, it's hurting the people making these foolish rules too, it's reflected in the cost of every day items. Because at the end of the day, EVERYTHING we all consume at some point took a ride on a diesel train or a diesel truck. The more inefficient these trucks are, the more the cost of living goes up for EVERYONE!
The worst thing is while you're waiting for parts, if your vehicle is under warranty. Your warranty is still ticking away. I'm waiting for my 2020 3500 for an injector wiring from Cummings for a month now. And the warranty is ticking away. Dodge doesn't even know if it'll fix my truck
@@thetrailouttherewhat about other issues that weren’t related to current issues and would’ve been taken care of under warranty if it hadn’t lapsed while the truck sat? It’s a legit concern.
@wayneerikson1163 while the truck is at the dealership , you can bring those issues up so they can add them to the repair order. As long as it's documented at the dealership within your warranty window, most manufacturers honor the warranty. Just don't be that guy that shows up at mile 35,999 of your 36k mile bumper to bumper warranty to have the dealership inspect anything that's covered by warranty because it's about to expire and you want to make sure they fix any issue they find before the warranty is out. That happens lol.
@@4wdtennessee459 You can "think" that, but in reality it's because the primary fuel the military uses isn't regular #2 ultra low sulphur diesel. Especially in a combat environment, JP-8 (similar to kerosene) & used in trucks, tanks, heavy equipment and even helicopters.
Exactly I have an old 1993 F-250 with the 7.3 IDI it's mechanical injection no computer. It has very light smoke on take off. Otherwise it's a very clean running truck
And people wondered why Ford went through all the trouble to bring out a brand new 7.3 gas motor. It's not a diesel but honestly it has the power/torque to what most people need it to do without all the diesel drama.
Years ago they caught a car engineer on mic and I heard the conversation where he admitted that when you are going down hill with no throttle input your vehicle ECU is dumping fuel into your engine for the sole purpose to heat the catalytic converter. I don't know if this happens on diesels, but it wouldn't surprise me. Why don't they regulate from the combustion chamber and not all the add-ons? I particularly liked the oxygen pump to take away horsepower and engine efficiency to meet the tailpipe requirements :)
I know that it is not the topic here, but what is it with diesel enthusiasts attracting attention to illegally modified trucks rolling coal? You guys are practically begging the EPA to look closely at diesel emissions.
Imagine being a government agency that writes regulations that are viewed as "law" that is incarcerating and fining business owners who are trying to help hardworking people. We as a country can truly do better.
This dude is legit. We need men like this to run for political positions. It’s the only way we fight back. We can pool our money as a community and support these types of people
Given this conversation, this isn't just happening with diesel trucks. It's happening with tuner and modified cars as well. Literally, people are still getting tickets in places that are emissions tickets, for not keeping a car stock. Yet the emissions on the car are better than what stock emissions are required to be. From what I've seen, people are under the impression that if a car is "modified," then somehow what comes out of the exhaust is worse than what it otherwise would be. And this is not the case.
If you study Ideal gas law at atmospheres absolute you can easily disprove climate change narratives in relation to specific element CO2. Their physics of time, temperature and pressure dose not correlate with physics or Ideal Gas Laws. The base line coefficient of CO2 condensates at, 800 PSI @ room temp or 65 degrees Fahrenheit. To calculate that over a surface area or parts per million us this equation per ratio of atmospheric gases .7854xdia.2/PSI. You can win a court case with those equations because they are repeatable results at atmosphere absolute.
Flat rate is a bad way of doing business anyway. Never take your vehicle to a flat rate shop. When working flat rate you make more the quicker you get done, so it's in the mechanics best interest to take short cuts and do a half ass job to get it out the door and make the most money. Most shops I know have gone to hourly. Flat rate is unethical imo
Our technicians are all on salary, but they can get weekly bonuses four hours turned in over 40 hours. It's worked out well, we have very few comebacks.
I’ve seen this stupidity for a long time. Step back to the early 2000’s; and I’ll never forget this as long as I live, I was watching a news broadcast and they were interviewing the CEO of GM. They were talking about production cost and emissions on gasoline powered vehicles. He stated in this interview that they could actually make gasoline powered vehicles run cleaner and obviously make more power without catalytic converters but the government; EPA, wouldn’t let them stop putting them on the vehicles. Definitely nothing changed.
I understand the new emissions are making trucks clean. BUTT!!! Take note motors that at one time lasted 500k-100000k and were more dirty with less energy used to produce the older motors. New motors use more energy to produce them and maintain and don't live as long 250-300k at most. Soo the new motors need to be built. Long term we won't have old diesels trucks after 10 years when the parts run out and you can't delete it
New motors last over 1million miles in OTR applications with proper maintenance. I am talking about 12 and 15 liter motors not the small ones in pickup trucks.
There needs to be a huge class action lawsuit against Cummins and Ram for deception. People bought these trucks in good faith that they would run a certain way and then to find out their truck is going to be altered in some way that will cost them even more money is unfair. Maybe while some in Congress are trying to do away with the IRS they can eliminate the EPA at the same time.
The airlines would be totally grounded if they had to follow the diesel mandates,no one would want to get on one,yes they will fall out of the sky,they burn more jet fuel wich is diesel fuel without the pump lubricants,and injector lubricants.,than all the trains,and semitruck combined.epa is on the individual pickup owners becomes we can't afford a lobbies group.
You think you have it bad, I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel. The EPA mandated re-tune makes it feel like I'm towing a garbage truck behind it, and dropped the mileage at least 10%. Oh, and it also lost a rod 200 miles into a 230 mile trip and puked a couple of quarts of oil on the side of the road before being hauled to the dealer on a diesel flatbed to wait for another half ton of ore to be mined somewhere with diesel equipment before being shipped overseas to Italy to be built into another engine, before being shipped on a carrier that burns a gallon of tar sludge every 4 inches or so as it moves across the ocean (no emissions on those); before being trucked from Detroit to Florida to be installed in my vehicle. Yeah it;s a run on sentence, but it was far more annoying in real life🙂 This all happened at just under 7 years old with 64K miles on it, and only 4K miles after FCA replaced the failed EGR cooler, the melted intake, a melted valve cover, melted injector tubes and cracked turbo hoses under a recall and AEM warranty. They also hit my aftermarket warranty for $1700 to fix a timing cover leak and front main seal on it. This is my wife's car which got the oil changed every 5K (factory suggests 10K), fuel filters every 20K and wasn't used for heavy duty service, towing, etc., but did a fair number of long road trips between 50-2000 miles. It's up to around $21K in repairs paid by the aftermarket warranty. It stinks as it's a great driving vehicle, but it's the least reliable turd I've ever owned. Warranty runs out in October 14th, selling it on the 13th!
We need to elect state legislators who will pass state laws that make enforcement of federal epa regulations a felony within the borders of their respective states. The U.S House and Senate will not help us with this matter and neither will Trump.
Want to exempt yourself from the govt regulations which require you to run dpf/egr? Stick with me for a min and it could just change your life. I promise there is a point being made here but it may become lengthy or require a couple posts to complete. In the US, every citizen is also a national. All citizens are nationals though not all nationals are citizens. The citizen part is where the rules and regulations are applied to. You can declare yourself one but not the other because (and according to the 13th amendment) it has to be voluntary. No one can tell you what political affiliation you must be. You can declare yourself a national but not a citizen. This is not some sovereign citizen garbage, this is fact and can be referenced in 100’s of case law examples, it’s in public law, and it’s in US code. Make yourself exempt from the manmade laws that govern citizens. There is a group of us who hold a call and discuss this topic on an educational basis each and every day except sundays. There’s no cost and there is nothing to buy. It’s a group of people helping other people. It’s BECAUSE of the help from someone else that each and every one of us there were able to find this information and we , in turn, just try to help others. We often say that the only way to protect our freedoms is by helping you protect your freedoms. There are so many other things that you gain back by re-claiming your god given rights and handing back the civil rights that someone in our bloodline sometime in the past voluntarily handed over (presumably in exchange for something that seemed good to them at the time). You can join us by calling in or using free conference call app. The details are contained in our [really ugly] site (because the members aren’t good IT people but try to get the message out). The site is thematrixdocs dot com. I’m not trying to spam you here . I’m trying to show you how we can help the situation. Please have a look don’t just delete my comment. I promise you it would be the most life changing decision you ever made if you’ll give it some time to hear and learn. There’s no cost. It’s your freedom. Why on earth would someone charge you to re-gain your freedom. I hope that you will give it a look, for yourself and the betterment of your family and loved ones as well.
Emissions equipment in general do more work when the engine is cold warming up then when the engine is at operating temperature and properly tuned computers can reduce emissions look into Gale Banks products and what his company does but still sucks that government vehicles can be purchased from the factory without any emissions equipment
The gov knows its unreliable and expensive. Thats all we really need to know. There is a supreme court case that could upend the EPA's authority to regulate.
Military vehicles, NOT "government" vehicles. The majority of "government" vehicles are fully equipped with the same emissions equipment that comes on any vehicle you'd buy off the manufacturers lot.
@@noneya61 absolutely, if you're interested in a 30 year old Hummer, maybe a 50 year old 5 ton. There is some newer construction equipment is available at some auctions that would've had some sort of emissions equipment if it was civilian only. Interested in a 30ton dozer?
beware of the new cummins blocks they are now junk sad as an engineer its blows my mind they thought this would not stretch in main bearing area .now if it was gasoline with a 2 barrel carb and 1967 it would be fine but diesel design lol just not smart to fix what was not broken with light weight bs
I need to get on your podcast I have a technology that has been helping the diesel truck industry for over 16 years. We have hardcore data and long durability test. We have two California EOS for this technology. We are selling this technology in eight different countries.
I was also wondering how many suckers still had def on these recalled trucks. When you buy ANY diesel, the first thing you do is delete the def and egr. You will get more mpgs and lower engine temps
No way there is 85% participation in the recall if there is performance hit on the recall. Cummins/FCA signed that they will get to 85% participation rate OR face additional fines for the full amount of 37k+5k per truck produced.
@@patricksquires77 while most people won't take their truck back for the recall, many will take their trucks back for service, repair, warranty items etc. These dealers aren't required to ask permission to update the ECM/PCM with updates. If the customer goes into a dealer for an oil change, they're getting the update regardless. It's always been that way, can't tell you how many customers we deal with a year that bought a programmer for their truck and the dealership flashed the truck without asking and bricket the programmer making it worthless. We've been dealing with that problem for 20 years.
Ok……I have a 2012 gmc 3500HD duramax I think a LML. 🤷♂️. 184k miles it runs like a dog pinched on the azz…..stock I don’t have any issues. It sits most of the summer. I use it to pull me 5th wheel south then I drive the hell outta it. I keep the oil chg n fuel filters every 6 months. I dunno I watch all these shows, delete, DEF, do this don’t do that. Ugh. Tune, go to jail, fuel pumps. Def heaters, Maybe I gotta Cinderella I love my truck…..I know that sounds weird. But damn.
Thank you for info Hope Government becomes more of a team instead of hurting everyone involved. Better R&D SDR Fast sounds like the plan as long as allowed.
I'm a no one no body that bought or ordered off the shelf tuner and was able to tune my trucks to have lot more reliable power and not blow smoke at all or just barely any smoke and people couldn't understand how I did it. But I had powerstroke 7.3, 6.0, 6.4, and the 6.7
Anyone can purchase an off the shelf programmer and set it on level 1, 2, 3, tow, street, or performance setting. The tuning issues we are discussing in this video is custom tuning, where the customer calls a tuning company and say.. "Hey, I have a 2020 duramax with 60% over injectors, a twin turbo setup with dual CP3's and I need custom tunes to make all these parts play nice together." If that calibration the company sends to the end user isn't PERFECT, it can result in cracked pistons, broken crank shafts, blown up transmissions Etc. It's a really bad problem in the industry right now.
Mexico doesnt do emissions on trucks, Canada has less emission regulations for trucks as well, the def is ruining the highways in cali I am glad i have an lbz the pre emissions, but i wouldnt be surprised if the epa starts going after older trucks as well
the thousands of kids blowing loud unburnt fule in your windows is what makes people hate desil trucks. if you dont work it it everyday you dont need it
Most of them are trying to do a job with a little truck that really should be done with a big truck that requires a CDL. They turn up the little engines and destroy reliability as well as void warranties and violate EPA regulations.
We bought a 2019 L5P used at 84k miles to pull a camper with on the weekends. The 1500 we had with the 5.3 was just being killed, and after buying the 2500 and diesel engine I could just kick myself for not doing it so much sooner. Completely different and better driving experience. It’s been 3 years now and now I am getting really nervous. It’s the ONLY vehicle we have, so I depend on it for work as well, but I know I’m driving around on a ticking time bomb of built in repair BILLS that will cost thousands, money I don’t have. So now I’ve done some research and I see the epa has been cracking down on service shops busting the guys who were doing the deletes and I can’t find anyone willing to do it. And delete systems that used to cost $1500 to $2500 now cost $5k to $10k. I’ve been considering doing the The Diesel Dudes delete, you buy the parts bundle from them and tune and install yourself, but I’m just not sure I have the ability or the time , and if ANYTHING goes wrong I definitely don’t have the backup vehicle to drive until it all gets straightened out. My confidence level is in the tubes but I know it NEEDS to be done before this truck takes a giant government shit all over ME. Its either that or I trade it in for a 1 ton only to end up in the same spot 5 years down the road lol
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 08/2024 I replaced the grid heater with the Banks Monster Ram air intake. They showed me the grid heater. The mechanic told me I had 2 maybe 3 cold starts and it would have broke off. I caught in just in time. So, if you have a 7 year old Ram be careful. Thanks to Dave's Auto Center out of Utah and Thoroughbred diesel videos they helped save my engine!
Several things I've observed in the trucking industry. During covid and supply shortage, the EPA green lighted dealers to turn off dpf/def systems until the supply chain stabilized. Next, I am seeing a lot of 2020,2021 trucks for sale and advertising "fresh rebuilt engine", that's literally a 2 and 3 yr old truck, maybe 500k miles with a fresh rebuild. Next, my 3 trucks are gliders, all are 12.7 detroits 1999s, all are highly modded for big power, all average at least 6.5mpg pulling flatbed and the blocks are all between 2.5-3million miles, all three engines were inframed twice, in 07 and 2014, and full out of frames in 2021. My buddy has a fleet of 389s and w900s, 2022/2023 and they've had nothing but problems with the emissions, turbos and mpg sucks.
The entire reason I got into this industry is because I was paying shipping companies to pick up the log homes I was manufacturing in Montana at my log yard, to haul the house to it's destination in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho etc. Then the trucker would call me to tell me he couldn't get his truck up the road on the side of a ski resort mountain to deliver the homes package. So I had to buy a fleet of trailers and pickup trucks to offload the semi truck on the side of the road, load it onto my smaller trailer, just to get it up to the jobsite. Your point here is recognized, but it didn't work in my experience. The smaller pickup trucks were my only option in my situation. I'm sure there are others in different industries with similar stories.
I will never be left in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and have to be towed to a dealer so i wait 2 weeks for service. I’ll just build what I want. Get video.
I appreciate it, I enjoy Patrick's questioning, he's an excellent interviewer. I frequent several different podcasts and this one is definitely my favorite. There's a Diesel Podcast Afterhours episode coming out soon that you will enjoy!
I have a high mileage 2020 L5P what am I going to be fixing? Does the FASS fix any issue I may have? I have a few Banks electronic parts but other than that it’s bone stock.
What makes it more difficult to make your truck more efficient and more reliable is these dipstiicks out there ROLLING COAL. It doesn't help the diesel community to just blow Black smoke
I like them and I get the point but as a person who owns and drives and uses a diesel Duramax truck. Having flown to Texas and driven back just before the EPA raids. I understand the benefits of deaf DPF EGR deletion. However I cannot support the statement that it's not like we're selling crack or do anything to anybody we just want to have our trucks be fun basically part of that was actually stated. Diesel particulates soot is something that is ingested by the human body and is stored in the lungs and is never able to be excreted therefore you have the sum total of soot in your lungs when you die of all that you have been exposed to just like a DPF except you don't have regeneration so it does and will cause cancer it doesn't will cause breathing issues and early death or painful life until death. Even some gases that may affect the ozone or whatever this is direct straight into your lungs stays there inhibits breathing causes you problems if not cancer and you die with or from the amount that is in your chest so yeah it needs to be trapped if we're going to run diesels legally it makes sense. Running without at least a DPF is pretty much the equivalent of killing and hurting other people; selling crack. All said without a doubt the DEF, EGR and the DPF are absolute unreliable destruction to diesel vehicles.
Sometimes i wonder if this podcast has any useful information or its just a bunch of BS until then last 5 mins the heading gets touched on then that's it. the last few episodes seem to drive a lot of scare tactics.maybe it's just me.
DEF. This started with Mercedes diesel cars. They did it to make their cars seem cleaner. Now everyone is stuck with it. All this smog crap is ruining diesel engines. I see more big trucks broken down on the side of the road. Why? DEF!
I would love to own a diesel truck but the DEF cuts your milage in half the EGR, DPFs and the rest cut the engine life in half its pointless. I used to own a diesle because I got great milage and power, now diesl is just a money hole.

Don’t forget CARB as well
And twice on Sundays!!!
Absolutely! Fuck those commie bastards. Every trucker needs to park until the epa is banned
The EPA delete mod is the mod we all need!
These are not laws, they are mandates. None of these epa rules went through congress. Completely unconstitutional.
Amen, and everyone who wrote them and anyone who enforces it needs to go to prison.
Should be the defense for all of them...especially after the ruling against the EPA regarding the train industry or whatever

Local d e q's are accountable to the people they serve not the federal government. They flipped the script and used your money to defraud you In your reasonable right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All the while your e p a and d e q's disavow the FACT That solar radiation management, solar aerosol geoengineering combined with illegal public testing have been going on for decades Releasing sulfates oxides of metal pathogens Bacteria fungus mold lyme disease... In the name of furthering science violating informed consent and poisoning the public while continually restricting our freedoms and rights. EPA has no jurisdiction. They operate under color of law and must be ignored. We have no contract with them. And none of them can prove.
Their climate change narrative because climate change is climate engineering.
Just like ATF!
In Europe they don’t have def stuff anymore after they noticed that emissions to ship and store the def is worse for the environment.
Do you have some sort of reference we can read about this? Sounds like great news if true.
There was a study not too long ago in California of all states. The def fluid is killing off the trees ability to process co2 back into breathable air. Yet they still push for more and more restrictions
@@haloreaper1000 We need a link to read such a study. That sounds like nonsense to me. DEF is a pain and wasteful but it gets processed into water vapor and nitrogen at the end.
@nspro931 the depths of Google have proven to be deep. But here in the states. Especially in the trucking industry. Rumors have been floating around for a few years about this study. And carb was the one that did the study.

Step 1. Ruin diesel engines.. step 2. Force ev on people.. step 3. Control step 4. You will own nothing..
Step 1 , delete all controls, step 2 go around smoking out intersections / people standing at the bus stop to show them who is boss . FREEDOM !!!!!!!!!
@@bobroberts2371 There are plenty of people out there with deletes, mods and tunes who don't smoke at all.
@@biffwellington1782 Try sitting in a car next to a deleted tuned truck at a stop light when the exhaust is pointing at your open window and they accelerate. There will be a puff of smoke and at minimum heavy fumes.
Think about it, have a look at the soot a diesel engines lube oil picks up in a short time. Now think about that this is a small fraction of what comes out of the exhaust.
Regardless, the smoky / tires sticking out beyond fenders / covered license plate people brought the EPA crack down on themselves.

@@bobroberts2371I have an old 1993 F-250 7.3 diesel IDI that's totally stock and has no computer because it's mechanical injection. The only emissions it came with was crankcase vent to the intake manifold.
It has a light smoke when you take off with it and the exhaust does smell but that's the way the truck was built.
I should not have to give up my truck because of the foolishness of a bunch of idiots.
If I can't drive my truck then they can give me the $10,000 dollar's I paid for it in 1998.
I watch my EGT Temps like a hawk on my Duramax , and it never fails. I will pull into my garage and look at my Temps at like 800°F in the turbo, and the DPF is at 900°F and up. So I go for a 30-minute drive at 10MPG. you know, saving the earth😂. 😢
Wow. My 16’ LML never really goes above 500…usually 350-450 unless I’m towing. It’s on a diet and now has an aftermarket turbo but even with the stock turbo it stayed relatively cool. Good ole emissions!

Its wrong to delete your truck but ok to do a wiener delete. Thats the system that we live in. Pardon me while I go puke. My truck runs great on a weight loss diet, has tons of power and dont role coal even with a 150hp tune. The only smoke rollin outta my truck is from the tires. What happened to America? Burnin rubber, eatin cheeseburgers, and shootin guns.
What happened to America? the blue party and stupid people voting.
Well they are creating a emasculated society with weiner deletes in a hope when civil war comes again no "man" will fight back, another reason they are going after guns
As I understood it that due to a recent Supreme Court ruling in another case it was said the EPA did not have the authority to do the things they do to diesel trucks without specific legislation from Congress.

Nope. And it's pending appeals as of now. After the courts are done with the atf and nfa. Their full attention goes to the epa

My old 7.3 with a manual transmission gets about 19 - 20 mpg around town moving my 6500 pound (empty) truck. That tells me it's pretty efficient. It has never had a tune or modifications. My truck is not killing the planet.
same here , loving my 98 24V daily driver .
7.3 20 mpg ?
@@aneyesky Yes. I've gotten anywhere from 17 to 21 depending on what I am towing and doing with the truck. I think the manual helps.
Edit: It's also a 2wd.
@@aneyeskymaybe not 20 but damn close
Yes the manual is better on mpg, but my 99 long bed extended cab 4x4 7.3 gets 19-21mpg in the city and 25 plus on the high driving hard. It's is tuned. I normally run it at 360 HP but I can bump it up to 400 HP. So no it's not uncommon for you to get 20 mpg plus out of the 7.3. Why do you think they took them away from you
I live in a rural area and we don't have emissions testing. Their are to many politics involved especially today. My 7.3 isn't rolling coal 24/7 but I cant imagine all that exhaust restrictions on my truck it would be in the shop all the time. Like with gas engines the technology is out their to make these platforms run clean and more mpg but the all mighty profit ruins it. Its not just the EPA its the federal government.
Call it Federal Government is good, but E. P. A. and all groups, that call themselves government groups, usually don’t recognize authority of The Government Of The United State of America, nor do these groups support A Bill Of Rights.
The Government of the United States Of America is the fourth amendment, that the highway is right, the people are right to use their highway and that car and truck are right for state and the people

There is a Supreme Court case that has just had oral arguments that could drastically effect the EPA’s ability to make determinations and “reinterpret” laws into new regulations. The case is called “Loper Bright Enterprises V. Raimondo.”

Worse fuel economy = more pollution
Diesel Podcast subscribers I need to vent a bit.
I grew up in a state that was the “birthplace” of hot rods, NHRA and so many other cool things centered around the vehicle. At 15 I remember this same state implementing its first emissions test. Luckily for me I drove a vehicle that was pre 1976 or what ever year the cut off was for the test.
Today at almost 55 years of age today I would have never guessed that “simple” emissions test along with California’s own CARB would snowball into what it has become today with all its strength, influence, power added to the EPA’s reach.
From restrictions on certain aftermarket parts being ordered/shipped to my home (state) to the recent emissions recall notice I received from Ram, it’s my belief, this all goes back to that “simple” test back in 1984!!! This unfortunately reaches the motorcycle community or virtually anything with a fuel burning engine that’s sold to the public.
Why am I saying this?
Well as I said I wanted to vent but also (and maybe I late to the party) but I wanted this to hopefully be a lesson/warning for all those out there in other states.
But also I say this because it’s my belief that restrictions like this stymie growth and innovation at the grassroots level. Especially for garage guys like myself who love to tinker and pass down some things to his kids.

Only the wealthy, or people who are willing to be car poor, can purchase newer vehicles these days. We have moved backwards from Henry Ford's idea of everybody owwning vehicles.
To have the least amount of problems with your diesel work truck is to always always be careful fueling, no dirt, no water, clean clean fuel with a good liquid additive is so important.
Keep your oil clean, and air cleaner too !
Remember, cp4s are used in Europe and work very well as the European diesel fuel is better, higher cetane and more refined, unlike Americas diesel fuel.
Have a professional fix your motor with tuning and get the best out of your trucks !
No water, no dirt and no def !
They can run so good and last a long time !
It's disgusting that u spend 70 80 100 thousand dollars on a truck and the manufacturer doesn't care that isn't right
I have been in the semi truck industry for 25+ years. I work at a dealership now but have worked on all brands. The aftertreatment system is killing the trucks. The breakdowns, parts shortage and costs, and with labor rates being $200+/- it doesn't take long to build a huge bill. That cost has to go somewhere. We as the end user is who gets stuck with it. Now with shipping rates so terrible and fuel costs, companies are dying at a fast rate, and it isn't going to slow down any time soon.
You nailed it, it's hurting the people making these foolish rules too, it's reflected in the cost of every day items. Because at the end of the day, EVERYTHING we all consume at some point took a ride on a diesel train or a diesel truck. The more inefficient these trucks are, the more the cost of living goes up for EVERYONE!
The worst thing is while you're waiting for parts, if your vehicle is under warranty. Your warranty is still ticking away. I'm waiting for my 2020 3500 for an injector wiring from Cummings for a month now. And the warranty is ticking away. Dodge doesn't even know if it'll fix my truck
There’s the obvious solution; get rid of your useless warranty.
The issue is on record at the dealership. Even if it went past warranty, the service date will grandfather it in should your warranty expire.
@@thetrailouttherewhat about other issues that weren’t related to current issues and would’ve been taken care of under warranty if it hadn’t lapsed while the truck sat? It’s a legit concern.
That's a huge concern indeed, considering how unreliable these trucks seems to be now
@wayneerikson1163 while the truck is at the dealership , you can bring those issues up so they can add them to the repair order. As long as it's documented at the dealership within your warranty window, most manufacturers honor the warranty. Just don't be that guy that shows up at mile 35,999 of your 36k mile bumper to bumper warranty to have the dealership inspect anything that's covered by warranty because it's about to expire and you want to make sure they fix any issue they find before the warranty is out. That happens lol.
California is that stupid…BTW
If the dpf bs was so good why don’t the military use them on their diesels.
because the fuel they use isn't compatible. Military uses the same fuel for many types of equipment & some of that equipment isn't able to run ULSD.
I think it’s because that crap is so unreliable that they don’t wanna have to deal with it.
@@4wdtennessee459 You can "think" that, but in reality it's because the primary fuel the military uses isn't regular #2 ultra low sulphur diesel. Especially in a combat environment, JP-8 (similar to kerosene) & used in trucks, tanks, heavy equipment and even helicopters.
The Demoncraps are trying to make all military vehicles all electric. Tanks, MRAPS, 6x6 trucks, even aircraft.
I added a turbo, turned up the fuel pump on my IDI.. and guess what, better MPG.
You're destroying the planet brah, think of the Koala's 'N chit !!
😅
Miss my 7.3 IDI but the truck was falling apart around the solid drive train.
What is / who makes an L5P ?
How much longer till these anti-Diesel ideologs target the older trucks?
That's a terrifying reality I am not excited to be a part of.
Exactly I have an old 1993 F-250 with the
7.3 IDI it's mechanical injection no computer. It has very light smoke on take off.
Otherwise it's a very clean running truck
commiefornia is starting to target older diesels
And people wondered why Ford went through all the trouble to bring out a brand new 7.3 gas motor. It's not a diesel but honestly it has the power/torque to what most people need it to do without all the diesel drama.
Shut down epa
You need a DPF on that huge polluting cigar.
😂😂😂😂😂
F$$$ DPFs
Yup, self centered polluters
Years ago they caught a car engineer on mic and I heard the conversation where he admitted that when you are going down hill with no throttle input your vehicle ECU is dumping fuel into your engine for the sole purpose to heat the catalytic converter. I don't know if this happens on diesels, but it wouldn't surprise me. Why don't they regulate from the combustion chamber and not all the add-ons? I particularly liked the oxygen pump to take away horsepower and engine efficiency to meet the tailpipe requirements :)
I know that it is not the topic here, but what is it with diesel enthusiasts attracting attention to illegally modified trucks rolling coal? You guys are practically begging the EPA to look closely at diesel emissions.
Imagine being a government agency that writes regulations that are viewed as "law" that is incarcerating and fining business owners who are trying to help hardworking people. We as a country can truly do better.
This dude is legit. We need men like this to run for political positions. It’s the only way we fight back. We can pool our money as a community and support these types of people
I appreciate the support!
Given this conversation, this isn't just happening with diesel trucks. It's happening with tuner and modified cars as well. Literally, people are still getting tickets in places that are emissions tickets, for not keeping a car stock. Yet the emissions on the car are better than what stock emissions are required to be.
From what I've seen, people are under the impression that if a car is "modified," then somehow what comes out of the exhaust is worse than what it otherwise would be. And this is not the case.
I wonder if the injection pump failures on the l5p has to do with people not running fuel additive?
No
If you study Ideal gas law at atmospheres absolute you can easily disprove climate change narratives in relation to specific element CO2. Their physics of time, temperature and pressure dose not correlate with physics or Ideal Gas Laws. The base line coefficient of CO2 condensates at, 800 PSI @ room temp or 65 degrees Fahrenheit. To calculate that over a surface area or parts per million us this equation per ratio of atmospheric gases .7854xdia.2/PSI. You can win a court case with those equations because they are repeatable results at atmosphere absolute.
Im still rolling around in a 88 f250 7.3idi.....no plans to change that.
Flat rate is a bad way of doing business anyway. Never take your vehicle to a flat rate shop. When working flat rate you make more the quicker you get done, so it's in the mechanics best interest to take short cuts and do a half ass job to get it out the door and make the most money. Most shops I know have gone to hourly. Flat rate is unethical imo
Our technicians are all on salary, but they can get weekly bonuses four hours turned in over 40 hours. It's worked out well, we have very few comebacks.
I’ve seen this stupidity for a long time. Step back to the early 2000’s; and I’ll never forget this as long as I live, I was watching a news broadcast and they were interviewing the CEO of GM. They were talking about production cost and emissions on gasoline powered vehicles. He stated in this interview that they could actually make gasoline powered vehicles run cleaner and obviously make more power without catalytic converters but the government; EPA, wouldn’t let them stop putting them on the vehicles. Definitely nothing changed.
You can still find deleters in Florida, if they ever go away, I'll start deleting at my house. Deleting is never going away till they do away with def
Well if you look at the emissions on cargo ships why do they even waste their time with trucks they are nothing compared to cargo ships
It has nothing to do with pollution. It's all about money. They get shitty fuel mileage with their detuning, which dips into their pockets.
I understand the new emissions are making trucks clean. BUTT!!! Take note motors that at one time lasted 500k-100000k and were more dirty with less energy used to produce the older motors. New motors use more energy to produce them and maintain and don't live as long 250-300k at most. Soo the new motors need to be built. Long term we won't have old diesels trucks after 10 years when the parts run out and you can't delete it
New motors last over 1million miles in OTR applications with proper maintenance. I am talking about 12 and 15 liter motors not the small ones in pickup trucks.
There needs to be a huge class action lawsuit against Cummins and Ram for deception. People bought these trucks in good faith that they would run a certain way and then to find out their truck is going to be altered in some way that will cost them even more money is unfair. Maybe while some in Congress are trying to do away with the IRS they can eliminate the EPA at the same time.
The airlines would be totally grounded if they had to follow the diesel mandates,no one would want to get on one,yes they will fall out of the sky,they burn more jet fuel wich is diesel fuel without the pump lubricants,and injector lubricants.,than all the trains,and semitruck combined.epa is on the individual pickup owners becomes we can't afford a lobbies group.
You just convinced me to never buy a Diesel truck. Thank you ❤
You think you have it bad, I have a 2014 Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel. The EPA mandated re-tune makes it feel like I'm towing a garbage truck behind it, and dropped the mileage at least 10%. Oh, and it also lost a rod 200 miles into a 230 mile trip and puked a couple of quarts of oil on the side of the road before being hauled to the dealer on a diesel flatbed to wait for another half ton of ore to be mined somewhere with diesel equipment before being shipped overseas to Italy to be built into another engine, before being shipped on a carrier that burns a gallon of tar sludge every 4 inches or so as it moves across the ocean (no emissions on those); before being trucked from Detroit to Florida to be installed in my vehicle. Yeah it;s a run on sentence, but it was far more annoying in real life🙂
This all happened at just under 7 years old with 64K miles on it, and only 4K miles after FCA replaced the failed EGR cooler, the melted intake, a melted valve cover, melted injector tubes and cracked turbo hoses under a recall and AEM warranty. They also hit my aftermarket warranty for $1700 to fix a timing cover leak and front main seal on it.
This is my wife's car which got the oil changed every 5K (factory suggests 10K), fuel filters every 20K and wasn't used for heavy duty service, towing, etc., but did a fair number of long road trips between 50-2000 miles. It's up to around $21K in repairs paid by the aftermarket warranty. It stinks as it's a great driving vehicle, but it's the least reliable turd I've ever owned. Warranty runs out in October 14th, selling it on the 13th!
☹☹☹ I've got 3 customers here at the shop, they told me the exact same story.
We need to elect state legislators who will pass state laws that make enforcement of federal epa regulations a felony within the borders of their respective states. The U.S House and Senate will not help us with this matter and neither will Trump.

johndgarland, when you have a lot of writing, can you break it into smaller blocks so that it is easier to read please?
epa has too much power.
20% is what vehicles do for pollution, what about the 80% by corporations?
Emissions equipment in general do more work when the engine is cold warming up then when the engine is at operating temperature and properly tuned computers can reduce emissions look into Gale Banks products and what his company does but still sucks that government vehicles can be purchased from the factory without any emissions equipment
The gov knows its unreliable and expensive. Thats all we really need to know. There is a supreme court case that could upend the EPA's authority to regulate.
Wait, are you sure? If that’s true, that means that you could buy those same vehicles when they go out to surplus
Military vehicles, NOT "government" vehicles. The majority of "government" vehicles are fully equipped with the same emissions equipment that comes on any vehicle you'd buy off the manufacturers lot.
@@noneya61 absolutely, if you're interested in a 30 year old Hummer, maybe a 50 year old 5 ton. There is some newer construction equipment is available at some auctions that would've had some sort of emissions equipment if it was civilian only. Interested in a 30ton dozer?

Stupidity = government
Just like the department of education where does it say anything about the EPA in the constitution?
I was also wondering how many suckers still had def on these recalled trucks. When you buy ANY diesel, the first thing you do is delete the def and egr. You will get more mpgs and lower engine temps
The EPA needs to be shut down
One solution TRUMP 2024!
I figure this is not a good time to order anything that comes Motor Freigthaha cause allte truckers went to Texas.😂😅😅
No way there is 85% participation in the recall if there is performance hit on the recall. Cummins/FCA signed that they will get to 85% participation rate OR face additional fines for the full amount of 37k+5k per truck produced.
If I have the above correct - heard it on this channel I believe.
@@patricksquires77 while most people won't take their truck back for the recall, many will take their trucks back for service, repair, warranty items etc. These dealers aren't required to ask permission to update the ECM/PCM with updates. If the customer goes into a dealer for an oil change, they're getting the update regardless. It's always been that way, can't tell you how many customers we deal with a year that bought a programmer for their truck and the dealership flashed the truck without asking and bricket the programmer making it worthless. We've been dealing with that problem for 20 years.

I'm a no one no body that bought or ordered off the shelf tuner and was able to tune my trucks to have lot more reliable power and not blow smoke at all or just barely any smoke and people couldn't understand how I did it. But I had powerstroke 7.3, 6.0, 6.4, and the 6.7
Anyone can purchase an off the shelf programmer and set it on level 1, 2, 3, tow, street, or performance setting. The tuning issues we are discussing in this video is custom tuning, where the customer calls a tuning company and say..
"Hey, I have a 2020 duramax with 60% over injectors, a twin turbo setup with dual CP3's and I need custom tunes to make all these parts play nice together."
If that calibration the company sends to the end user isn't PERFECT, it can result in cracked pistons, broken crank shafts, blown up transmissions Etc. It's a really bad problem in the industry right now.
We’re all supporting stupidity, because it’s the law. Haha ya. Welcome to America.

All this is disincentivizing purchase of any diesel. It sucks when there's no alternative. They cost more than ever.
We're not ridiculous, we're the epa.
We bought a 2019 L5P used at 84k miles to pull a camper with on the weekends.
The 1500 we had with the 5.3 was just being killed, and after buying the 2500 and diesel engine I could just kick myself for not doing it so much sooner. Completely different and better driving experience.
It’s been 3 years now and now I am getting really nervous. It’s the ONLY vehicle we have, so I depend on it for work as well, but I know I’m driving around on a ticking time bomb of built in repair BILLS that will cost thousands, money I don’t have.
So now I’ve done some research and I see the epa has been cracking down on service shops busting the guys who were doing the deletes and I can’t find anyone willing to do it. And delete systems that used to cost $1500 to $2500 now cost $5k to $10k.
I’ve been considering doing the The Diesel Dudes delete, you buy the parts bundle from them and tune and install yourself, but I’m just not sure I have the ability or the time , and if ANYTHING goes wrong I definitely don’t have the backup vehicle to drive until it all gets straightened out. My confidence level is in the tubes but I know it NEEDS to be done before this truck takes a giant government shit all over ME.
Its either that or I trade it in for a 1 ton only to end up in the same spot 5 years down the road lol
I have a 2017 Ram 2500 08/2024 I replaced the grid heater with the Banks Monster Ram air intake. They showed me the grid heater. The mechanic told me I had 2 maybe 3 cold starts and it would have broke off. I caught in just in time. So, if you have a 7 year old Ram be careful. Thanks to Dave's Auto Center out of Utah and Thoroughbred diesel videos they helped save my engine!
I have a 2023 kenworth t680 . MX 13 PACCAR. solid engine. However that DEF garbage, environmental crap is nothing but a headache
Good luck. I cooked a 2018 paccar at 218000.
Several things I've observed in the trucking industry. During covid and supply shortage, the EPA green lighted dealers to turn off dpf/def systems until the supply chain stabilized. Next, I am seeing a lot of 2020,2021 trucks for sale and advertising "fresh rebuilt engine", that's literally a 2 and 3 yr old truck, maybe 500k miles with a fresh rebuild. Next, my 3 trucks are gliders, all are 12.7 detroits 1999s, all are highly modded for big power, all average at least 6.5mpg pulling flatbed and the blocks are all between 2.5-3million miles, all three engines were inframed twice, in 07 and 2014, and full out of frames in 2021. My buddy has a fleet of 389s and w900s, 2022/2023 and they've had nothing but problems with the emissions, turbos and mpg sucks.
Just buy a bigger truck to begin with. Trying to get a 7 liter engine to do the work of a 12 or 15 liter engine is an exercise in futility.
The entire reason I got into this industry is because I was paying shipping companies to pick up the log homes I was manufacturing in Montana at my log yard, to haul the house to it's destination in Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho etc. Then the trucker would call me to tell me he couldn't get his truck up the road on the side of a ski resort mountain to deliver the homes package. So I had to buy a fleet of trailers and pickup trucks to offload the semi truck on the side of the road, load it onto my smaller trailer, just to get it up to the jobsite.
Your point here is recognized, but it didn't work in my experience. The smaller pickup trucks were my only option in my situation. I'm sure there are others in different industries with similar stories.
I will never be left in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and have to be towed to a dealer so i wait 2 weeks for service. I’ll just build what I want. Get video.
Hahaha diesel is extinct. Electric is MUCH MORE POWERFUL AND WITH MUCH MORE TORQUE!
The money grab isn't isolated to the diesel truck industry - just look at the pharmaceutical industry!!!
Can confirm Vinny is my favorite guest
I appreciate it, I enjoy Patrick's questioning, he's an excellent interviewer. I frequent several different podcasts and this one is definitely my favorite. There's a Diesel Podcast Afterhours episode coming out soon that you will enjoy!
Always love to listen to you guys.
I have a high mileage 2020 L5P what am I going to be fixing? Does the FASS fix any issue I may have? I have a few Banks electronic parts but other than that it’s bone stock.
DEF ,robs power and destroys mileage- but, we’re saving the fuck’en environment ! (How fuck’ed is this) ! Thank you California. ! 🇨🇦
1990 1st Gen Cummins. And, I know every inch of it.
Thank you, thank you.
DEF is no longer justifiable.
What makes it more difficult to make your truck more efficient and more reliable is these dipstiicks out there ROLLING COAL. It doesn't help the diesel community to just blow Black smoke
I like them and I get the point but as a person who owns and drives and uses a diesel Duramax truck. Having flown to Texas and driven back just before the EPA raids. I understand the benefits of deaf DPF EGR deletion. However I cannot support the statement that it's not like we're selling crack or do anything to anybody we just want to have our trucks be fun basically part of that was actually stated. Diesel particulates soot is something that is ingested by the human body and is stored in the lungs and is never able to be excreted therefore you have the sum total of soot in your lungs when you die of all that you have been exposed to just like a DPF except you don't have regeneration so it does and will cause cancer it doesn't will cause breathing issues and early death or painful life until death. Even some gases that may affect the ozone or whatever this is direct straight into your lungs stays there inhibits breathing causes you problems if not cancer and you die with or from the amount that is in your chest so yeah it needs to be trapped if we're going to run diesels legally it makes sense. Running without at least a DPF is pretty much the equivalent of killing and hurting other people; selling crack. All said without a doubt the DEF, EGR and the DPF are absolute unreliable destruction to diesel vehicles.
Sometimes i wonder if this podcast has any useful information or its just a bunch of BS until then last 5 mins the heading gets touched on then that's it. the last few episodes seem to drive a lot of scare tactics.maybe it's just me.
Whenever other country in the world, don’t have these laws you think America’s really free lol right.
DEF. This started with Mercedes diesel cars. They did it to make their cars seem cleaner. Now everyone is stuck with it. All this smog crap is ruining diesel engines. I see more big trucks broken down on the side of the road. Why? DEF!
Screw the FMSCA, EPA, ATA, DOT, and all the rest.
I would love to own a diesel truck but the DEF cuts your milage in half the EGR, DPFs and the rest cut the engine life in half its pointless. I used to own a diesle because I got great milage and power, now diesl is just a money hole.
