[wrcknkrw]

Edge products just got fined by the EPA for programmers that allow the removal of dpfs on 2007 and newer trucks.

Figures. But why are they dragging Edge into the whole wood burning stove BS? And I call BS about the 422 trucks in 29 years...... How do they figure that?

"When running, trucks without these types of controls leave behind a trail of dark, black smoke. PM is associated with a number of health problems, including respiratory and cardiovascular disease, chronic bronchitis, decreased lung function, and an increased risk of lung cancer. "

“Allowing black smoke to billow conspicuously from the tailpipes of diesel pickup trucks is a practice that directly harms public health.”

what i find funny is the hole dpf filter yeah it collects emmissions and holds them so u drive clean but when it regens then u just burn out everything in the filter so yeah while u drove 1000 miles clean as soon as u hit regen bam everything ur trying to keep in is out in the atmosphere yeah its BURNED out but u never see a emmission test done while the truck is regening then lets talk about clean air and see what really comes out

its just like the smog pumps back in the day take air and put it into exhaust so it cleans it up hahaha

****ing gov/epa baffle them (the people) with bullshit make them think that the epa is makeing a cleaner envrioment

now im not one of them blow smoke everywhere i go kinda guy and i think we should try to clean up our act but in the end its all bullshit so some ceo can make a deal with this gov offical so they get there millon doller under the table paydays for making up dpfs just more ways they can take ur money

sell u a truck that needs more serviceing so u take it to a dealer more so they sell u parts u dont need to take ur money

ok i think im done sucks to be edge i really like that company

Wow!!! That bites!

I hope Edge takes them to court. I cant see how there is any law on the books that prevents them from building a product as they did when they clearly state what you can and can not do legally to your vehicle. I am sure this could be easily overturned.

 

[MACKIN]

Holey shit they're getting reamed! BUT. I'm calling Aron and see if I can get one of those pellet stoves they have to promise to sell! :roflmao:


I hope they can appeal!

I find it funny that they claim without a DPF a diesel truck leaves clouds of black smoke... meanwhile my 05 did not come factory with a DPF and it does not leave clouds of black smoke....

A Dmax hasn't changed THAT much.

not defend the EPA because that is BS that suing them when they have had that for years then all of sudden what to sue them and take away the products from us to delete emissions. When truck regens it heats up all the soot and harmful by products to such high temperature it breaks down the soot and such into simpler by products that are not harmful at all but some by products dont get broken down all the way but they claim about 90% of the of it does get broken down into non harmful by products. dont get me wrong it is BS that if you want to delete it you cannot. just wanted clear that up.

Haven't seen any mention or studies that detail the extra fuel that is burnt to perform the regen. Nor have I seen any studies on the extra polloution from fuel producers, to supply the extra fuel that is needlessly burnt.
Where are those studies Mr. EPA??

Exactly-same with my '07-which is almost identical to an LMM which has the DPF.
