Trump can't just cancel laws passed by congress.
So, y'all don't get all excited prematurely...

True, but there is such a thing as "selective enforcement", or "prosecutorial discretion" (one can dream, eh?)...

Wow talk about jumping the gun! EPA is still there and the laws regarding diesel emissions is still being enforced. The things rolled back were things ByeDone had done during his 4 year snooze, none of which had anything to do with diesel emissions, those have been in place since 2007. DPF became law in 2014.

It depends on where you’re at and will probably stay that way, although there may be less scrutiny on the federal level. I believe states and jurisdictions within can still do what they want (use CA default example). Here in GA it depends where you’re at. Around ATL emissions testing, where I’m at probably 50% of the diesel trucks are deleted and nobody cares including the dealer service departments.
It may become easier to source parts, which isn’t really hard to do, it’s the programming that’s become harder to get. Time will tell. I don’t think the clean air stuff will go away, especially for the heavy/commercial classifications.
Maybe I won’t get any more recall update letters from Ford. They’re using state registrations to track the VINs now.

I will definitely be doing mine but I also don't have required testing in my area. But it's not because of who is in office or who isn't, my plan from day 1 has been to put it on a diet as soon as the warranty is up.
As stated above, I just worry more about finding reputable programming. Don't want any of that coal rolling crap. Just a clean no-emission tune

There are still a lot of local shops that will do it rather than buy a commercial tuner product. These shops have done a lot of them and will call it a stock or tow tune.
It’s probably better if you know someone that’s had one done and will divulge their source to refer you rather than roll up and ask a shop. I know a shop that was working on one when a rando rolled up and asked, they told him they didn’t do deletes.
I have heard that doing the 20 and newer ones is more difficult due to encryption in the modules, but I’ve seen them done.

Yep I've been reading that. Apparently people are doing a '21 ECM swap. Which is not really something I want to do. Surely someone will eventually unlock the coding for '22 plus trucks
