For the Deleters
I expected that only the EPA would come after folks who delete exhaust controls. Now a physicians group is going after them too:

It seems like these guys were just asking for it though. They put up videos of "smoking" other cars, cyclists and pedestrians with their exhaust plumes.

I think that is old news about the diesel bros being sued by doctors. Very worried about folks having to occasionally inhale some diesel smoke...but by all means, go ahead and smoke weed. No problem. Its good for ya.

Now, I'm no tree-hugger here...however, I don't smoke (cigarettes or otherwise) so having my vehicle filled up with a bunch of soot when the redneck in front of me decides to "roll coal", well that's in the same league as someone taking a big puff off a cigarette and blowing it straight in your face. I mean really...why???

I would like to see some scientific data on these EPA guidelines. I can't believe that a vehicle getting 10 mpg better, would pollute more per mile than a vehicle with all this emissions equipment.
These lawsuits are frivolous. Take trains for example, there are thousands of diesel locomotives still in use, built in the 80's- 90's, that run 24 hours a day 7 days per week.

i promise the first time someone "rolls coal" next to my daughters riding their bikes their will be a major issue.
As for whether its harmful, make your own decision, but don't make one for me by blowing the smoke in my familys or my face.

Come on Troverman nobody is really saying smoking weed is good for you (but I know some are). The main argument is that weed is less harmful then smoking cigs and drinking alcohol. Smoking weed doesn't ruin your life but get caught with it does.

And in most state are not allowed to let them run 24-7 anymore unless they are moving and pulling. They must be shutdown in the yards now.

Maybe weed isn't as harmful as cigs or alcohol but I can assure you the people who have risen to the position to afford a new super duty do not smoke weed regularly. I'll keep my super duty and die young/motivated

Many moons ago I was towing up the steepest grade at the highest altitude of Hwy 80 in Northern CA in a 1985 6.9 liter diesel F250.
Up along side me pulls a beat up, rusted Volvo station wagon with a young lady in dreadlocks hanging out the window shouting "LONG COLUMNS OF BLACK SMOKE!!!"
We laughed at the time as there was really nothing I could do about it. Looking in my mirrors I was indeed putting out enough smoke to hide an army.
Thankfully today that kind of soot production is for me no longer necessary nor justifiable. Hopefully those that want to take diesel off the roads will come to appreciate the level of diesel technology today. Those that roll-coal are not not helping.
