01/17/2013: AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURER FINED $500,000 FOR SELLING ILLEGAL DEVICES RESULTING IN TONS OF EXCESS PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSIONS

 

Ouch..... That hurts.

 

If someone stands up to them, I don't think it would be impossible to prove that the emissions delete devices actually reduce emissions in the long term.

At 9000 devices sold, probably not in the cards.

The EPA should be dismantled, and the workers will have to go find real jobs.

 

Although I find this crazy, especially since my truck is tuned, why is it just Edge? and not anyone else?

 

I will be them all and the others will take notice. They go for the small fish first.

EPA has another 4 years before the american people get another opportunity.

It appears that is what america wanted for now.

 

I totally agree. A government 'agency' should not make regulations or laws, only enforce them! Leave that to congress where it belongs. The EPA has WAY too much authority!

 

ditto, ditto........

So are you guys trying to say in a few years there will be no tuners available for these trucks?? or any diesel truck for that matter?

 

I hate to say it, but I figured it was only a matter of time before someone started cracking down. Mine is still stock . . . and I still have no intentions of altering that.

 

Tuners are available and well be...The difference is that the newer generations will work with your mandated smog devices..basiclly you'll be able to monitor you motor and increase power with the devices..no more deletes of pollution control devices....unless for off road / racing use.

 

How is that different then how they currently sell them?

 

It will be like mine.

 

What will?

 

Just because it may not be legal, doesn't mean its not better for the truck. I would not just be happy with what you have just because the EPA tells you to be.

 

tuners...mine is a DPF on tune. Banks is a leader in clean diesel tech.
