    It’s not about the environment nor has it ever been about the environment

    It's only illegal if you get caught.

    Didn't the Supreme Court just rule that the EPA didn't have the authority to require DEF systems but the government is basically ignoring them.

    I think we should delete the EPA .

    I am a tractor trailer mechanic in Metro Detroit. I am always getting people asking me to delete there trucks. I just tell them that if they get cought, it's major fines for both them and me. Then they always say they will not turn me in. I say that when you are facing thousands of dollars in fines and the epa says we will reduce the fines it you tell use who did the work, you will sing like a bird.

    I delete every truck I own and delete for others. They all run so much better.

    Could it be that the EPA is just nowadays a weapon against small business?

    My truck is currently at my local Cummins dealer getting some warranty work done on my ISX engine. Right on the entrance gate there’s a sign that reads, “If your emissions system has been deleted, we cannot work on your vehicle!” So, it’s safe to say that the EPA is putting the pressure on dealerships as well. If you modify your emission system, you can’t get your engine serviced when it needs it. I’m so glad that I put the money into an in frame overhaul on my ISX last May. No DEF, DPF and the hassles/expenses that go along with it. My old EGR Cummins ISX is good for another 1.5 million miles, and I’m keeping it!

    However bro, I believe the Supreme Court just took away the EPA’s authority to enforce the DEF system on trucks, so they wouldn’t be able to classify delete systems as non compliant.

    The EPA was supposed to be just an oversight agency. Now it’s a regulatory and enforcement agency

    The EPA needs to be totally done away with by the supreme court they need to be disbanded

    I'm retired now but what they've done to the engines and trucking in general makes me sick. We heard the chatter for years and thought it was crazy talk. Kind of like what's going on in our country. The EPA is another 3 letter agency that needs disbanded.

    The Supreme Court ruled the EPA Cant Regulate Anything there are not a regulating power, it must be passed by the congress and signed into law like any other law so gliders and deletes should 100% legal

    The good old days are just a memory now. The industry is regulated out of existence

    The emission regs are designed to destroy the motor. That's why new motors are constantly going down.

    After looking at new trucks,I decided I would rather have a professionally restored '75 cabover

    The regulations should permit the DPF filters to automatically bypass when operating on the open highway. The soot particles are not a health concern in the Boonies. There is plenty of natural dust out there, that the EPA would attempt to regulate if they could.
