How so?Diesel Emissions have no real effect on a “clean enviroment” as most gas vehicles run way dirtier.
My question exactly. IF that's the case then why is the EPA going after diesel mods first?? Those who have been fined, etc. have mostly been diesel mod products. The EPA is hammering diesels hard. Gas engines run cleaner.How so?
LOL - no kidding. That's not on their things to do anyway. They are concerned with greater matters. It's up to the states and other authorities to deal with emissions and the blue or black smoke emanating from the rear of a vehicle (unless that smoke smells like something familiar to them)I am very sure you could paint “I did a sketchy diesel delete while in Mexico” on the side of your truck, and zero sh*ts will be given by Customs & Border Patrol. They’re looking for smugglers, drugs, people, etc.
I'll put my credit card down right now for one of these if you can guarantee that my 10y warranty can't be invalidated with this modification.Or you could save a lot of money and frustration and get the Green Diesel Tune. We compared those northern weight loss tunes from up north, funny stuff. The GDE tune on Gen3 is about 1 second quicker 0-60 and gets better fuel economy. Does not make sense to change all those parts to go slower, lose efficiency, destroy the warranty and devalue the rig.

You probably already know that is not going to happen.I'll put my credit card down right now for one of these if you can guarantee that my 10y warranty can't be invalidated with this modification.

And here's some info from the government - first, a hint for mechanics working on modified vehicles:
Do not work on tampered emission controls unless repairing them to their original condition - otherwise you can be held personally liable.
And what constitutes tampering -
Tampering with, or selling a vehicle that has been tampered with may result in monetary penalties. The components of a vehicle emission control system that can be tampered with include, but are not limited to:
catalytic converter
air injection system
evaporative emission system
exhaust gas recirculation (egr)
system fuel inlet restrictor
oxygen sensor positive
crankcase ventilation (pcv)
computer command controls
thermostatic air intake system
diesel particulate filter
Engine warranties can get really sticky since they can't work on any part of an engine that is part of emissions unless they put everything back and make it pass emissions. Take it in not passing and need work done, it can get tricky. If a main bearing fails, that's different, that's got to be covered, oil seal leak - same thing, but if there's an issue that's connected to tune or emissions, they can't touch it unless they make the emissions parts right again.
you are 100% correct. They don’t care about emission. An avocado? Definitely. A dirty delete? No.I am very sure you could paint “I did a sketchy diesel delete while in Mexico” on the side of your truck, and zero sh*ts will be given by Customs & Border Patrol. They’re looking for smugglers, drugs, people, etc.
I would also add that I doubt border patrol has jurisdiction over emissions systems.I am very sure you could paint “I did a sketchy diesel delete while in Mexico” on the side of your truck, and zero sh*ts will be given by Customs & Border Patrol. They’re looking for smugglers, drugs, people, etc.
There is this thing. It’s called the internet, and it has this other thing that works with it called Goog…Ive heard some good things back! the physical stuff is easy and the tuning is looking better and better. Ive gotten a serious education on the complexity of these machines, and have a new found respect for tuners.
…of course limp mode may also be a give away…lolim tracking. im just kicking around the idea, since im not driving to canada. if im in san diego for instance, tj isnt far. my concern is 1. can they even do it since idk what mexican emissions is like. 2. will the sound of the exshaust be an issue at the border.
its been 5000 miles and no limp mode yet.…of course limp mode may also be a give away…lol
