Emissions compliant tuning is far greater than what you guys think, these tuners are just keeping the system intact. To be legal, the calibration must pass / be verified by all the EPA tests.
Don't kid yourself into thinking it would pass a true emissions certification test just because it doesn't smoke. The Nox levels can be through the roof from a mild bump in timing.
X2.
Look at Volkswagen and see how long they fooled everyone lol
PPEI tunes passed EPA certification.
I’m not trying to start a pissing contest here but... that’s where in my opinion you’re wrong. What’s so clean about producing more chemicals in a factory? What’s so clean about lines of Semi’s going down the road bellowing white smoke out for miles burning off contaminants with raw fuel? You can keep a diesel clean with no emissions crap on it. Sure it takes a little more time... but it’s very doable. The cleaner the truck burns the more efficiently it’s burning the fuel I.e. it’s burning what you’re putting in and not wasting it. There you go. Clean Diesel. Emissions is just bandaid on top of bandaid on top of bandaid.
My question is who is in the cross hairs? EPA going after the entire Diesel after market?

Anyone/anything that doesn't have a CARB EO#...
So far seems to be quite the opposite, Rob was very big on emissions compliant tuning and I bet that's what pissed off the EPA the most
The EPA's motto is pretty much "if it's not stock it shouldn't pass emissions"
EFILive never had a CARB EO#...
Honestly, none of the last two pages of posts really matters. The gov't (EPA) is going to do what they want, to hell with logic or sense. We could all write our congressmen complaining about diesels being unfairly "targeted" and it would simply fall on deaf ears.
Somehow, one of the good guys in this hobby got into the govt's crosshairs and we all know the rest.
After PM'ing back and forth with Rob, I realized that he is at peace with what happened. We probably should be, too.
Well that's good he is at peace with it all ...but why should we be?
That's exactly what they want , for us to mindlessly heed to everything they say an go with the grain instead of against. Even though WE Know what they're doing and claiming is wrong I mean it's not like anything we say will make a difference or change their minds anyway just saying.
I guess if you like smacking your head against a wall, then go ahead and do it.....
