I don't think you're completely accurate in this video. The EPA is going after more than just trucks and truckers. They are also targeting anybody who runs gas cars like race cars for deleting any type of emissions controls from their vehicles. The software may be easy to detect and/or find shops that are using it but any kind of emissions delete whether it be cars trucks or big rigs is being targeted by the EPA.

The whole point of this is to put the independent and small business out of commission. Just like they have done to small stores and restaurants

The emissions trucks require a different driving style.. long ago as a soldier a base commander set restrictions on us for rolling coal off a light. Experimenting we found it was doable somewhat. We hauled heavy ammo. We learned that by lighter foot feed the truck accelerated better and no or minimum smoke. Driving emissions trucks I switched back to this style and reduced trouble with it.

I remember that too . Ironically the EPA won't allow new emission systems in the U.S on cars . Basically all the imports are marked up because they have to be retro fitted with outdated inefficient emissions plagued with issues . This is why car companies can't import some models . The newer engines can't run with our antiquated emissions . What's worst is the emission system most of the world uses is more fuel efficient, always more engine power , is cleaner and has much less breakdown issues . For example you can take a BMW in England and the identical model in US and the English version has a lot more horse power , greatly increased fuel milage ( usually 10 to 15 mpg better ) , less actual emissions and less break downs . Part of it is we don't use REAL gas but the emissions systems aren't as bad anymore as people think ... its just not legal here in U.S . It's like that little chip on your credit card . Third world countries with no running water and barely any electricity had the chip for nearly 20 years before we , the so called most advanced country in the world , had it . What's worst is the system that works flawlessly in 3rd world countries is full of bugs here . You can go to war torn Afghanistan and that chip works flawlessly at lightning speed . Here you have to fight with the system for minutes then usually just use the outdated strip . Worst this is the governments wish as well LOL

If I were buying a new truck, I'd ask them to include a spare set of all the after-treatment sensors that they commonly replace. Keep them with you in the truck and restock them when they get fitted. The other thing to do is to get hold of a OBD2 reader so you can troubleshoot as soon as the check engine light comes on. Delaying repairs can only make it worse. In the grand scheme of things (price of a truck and cost of downtime), the cost of this sort of preparedness is minimal. Knowing how it all works means you can say "no thanks" when service technicians/shop managers try selling the blinker fluid.

I always have to force it by cranking up the cruise at idle and even then it’s still kicking itself in the balls. Shits fucking annoying. Almost time for a delete. IDGAF I’m oversized load so we don’t typically get fucked with. And we stay out of commie California 🤷🏼‍♂️

i bought my first truck in 77 and ran 48 states and canada until 97 then turned wrenches for a pete dealership for 24 years i retired 3 months ago bought a 93 cabover with a rebuilt n14 and 13 speed trans.i saw cat retire from the truck market and the advent of the mx engin not only is this new emissions bs but it is costing billions of dollars that we the people are paying for it is rare to see a customer drive off the lot with out getting a check eng light screw your new emissions it dosent work it is putting o/o out of business and driving the cost of products up and i wouldnt drive any truck with an auto shit transmission yes i spelled that wright what we need is less steering wheel holders and better drivers iu could go on forever about this but only falls on def ears

I realize that air pollution is a very real problem and diesel exhaust is a large contributor to the problem, but loading trucks with a bunch of complex and unreliable equipment is not the solution. Truckers have been left stranded in the middle of the Mojave desert because of a stupid sensor going out. The main reason people liked Diesel engines is because they were so mechanically simple and reliable, now they have more emissions equipment and failure points than a gasoline engine.

The proper way to run the delete program is two computers . Basically you need someone who knows what they're doing . They run dual wiring through a dummy switch ( fog light or some such marked switch ) . It's easy to hide second computer . So you run your truck on the delete computer which is tuned and shuts down all the junk but when you pull in for any kind of inspection hit the switch and truck runs factory spec . It's not super difficult but the average person really can't do it . Basically it's like taking your vette or demon to track and engaging track mode then engaging street mode to drive home ... but on big trucks .

I personally do t have a deleted engine in my truck. When my engine went down I pulled it out and installed an engine that I had from a wrecked truck that is pre smog 1999. I’ve been very happy with it. No problems to date.

Comes down to this... After the 2nd or 3rd year of your truck being in service, if you do not delete chances are VERY high that you will end up with crippling DPF issues, even if you did everything correctly. I see it day in and day out. The fact is that there was very little testing done and this was rushed out and it has exponentially increased breakdowns in OTR trucks. No matter what side of the isle you are on, this does little in the greater scheme of things to help with the environment and costs us big, especially the little guy that flat out does not make enough money to keep up with the service and repair on DPF trucks. I have had 2021 and 2022 trucks broken down for weeks due to DPF issues... Sure, warranty covers it, but who covers the $$$$ I have lost in revenue during that trucks "Peak" payback period? Its sad, truly sad, as if the bottom line was not razor thin enough... So you are left with two choices... One, delete and never have to worry about it again (if done properly) or continue to have an unreliable piece of machinery that will sooner than later leave you stranded... There is a reason why the mega carriers rotate their fleet every 2-3 years and the sad part is I see OOPs happily buying them up not knowing what is coming a few months down the line. I am ALL for the Environment so long as we don't go broke taking care of it, because in both scenarios there is nothing left to save. There must be a better way, design a less intrusive AND RELIABLE DPF system... You want to see how quickly this happens? Mandate that all manufacturers have to warranty them for 10 years from the first date the truck is put in service... Make it law and WATCH how quickly they fix them...

My last truck was a 2012 kw t660 with the Paccar MX13. In the 4 yrs I had it I put $35,000 cash out of pocket into the def system in sensors and other components. Also in that 4 yrs, I only had 1 mechanical failure when a spring broke in the clutch assy. Now I have a 2015 kw t660 Cummins ISX15 and spent $6000.00 in tubes, sensors, dpf wiring harness and a whole new dpf filter. Just since September 2021. Still getting check engine lights. It never stops with this BS!!

I purposely skipped all the bad years and went from an 03 C15 to a 22, DD15. I still enjoy trucking and it’s still “real” whatever that means. For me it’s always been about doing the job and making a decent living. Glad I missed the 20 years- long emissions learning curve. The DD15 pulls as well as the C15 did while getting 25% better mpg.

I work on many of these trucks with the "After treatment" and they can be a huge headache. Expensive, very time consuming to diagnose and repair. I totally understand why truckers are doing what they need to do to work. The question should be, what are manufacturers doing to ensure these systems work and actually work right for more than just the warranty period. I honestly feel for these guys that are suddenly hit with the decision to repair or "defeat"

I drive a bus for work in Australia it is one of the older buses in the fleet and therefore doesn't have DEF or a DPF. My Church as a small truck with a DPF have only had one issue with the DPF. We had to train all the drivers about not turning the truck off while it does a regen because the issue was caused by it being shut down during a regen. This caused the engine light to come on and the engine to derate until it was fixed.

Glad I got out when I did. After e logs I went to older trucks and decided it was not gunna get any better. So I got out while I could still make money selling my old trucks.

Well alot of you are going to argue my answer on DEF. Do not fill it to max over the years driving I noticed that when full constant regens and yellow eng on dash. Then noticed no issues when 1/2 to 3/4 full very little issues. So over the years I drain to 1/2 a tank then put 15 bucks or 5 gallons brings it to 3/4 full. Since then no issues. I looked at the schematic to figure out why and only thing is the swishing back fourth when full pushes to much def towards one box causing faulty readings. I have done this on electric and air driven pumps. Maybe with it not being full gives room for gas or liquid to move around in the container. But do what works for you.

So here is a few things i will point out so bare with me Mother Trucker! Slap your seatbelt on because its about to be a lengthy paragraph. First i will start off with VW and their emissions scandal. I am an owner of a 2009 Jetta TDI, it is currently sitting in the garage right now because i cant get it out of Limp Mode and have to spend $700 for a Ross Tech CanBus adapter because Volkswagen wants to charge me $4500 for a new dpf filter (After the warranty recall has been done to car 30,000 miles ago) They put a new dpf filter in the car, filter is good but VW wants to charge me for another filter that costs more than the car. BECAUSE they don't believe the car needs a "Parked Regen" using VCDS on my laptop, nor did they every hear about such thing (I already did my research on this) The soot levels are a 0.05% more than the parameters the ECM will allow for a regular driving regen, so I have to initiate a parked regen aka. Emergency Regen. How the emissions scandal happened. This was not really VW's intentions, it ended up happening upon ecm development. How they managed to figure out VW cars were fooling emissions without realizing this. Because VW's were front wheel drive cars, they would put the car on a front wheel drive setup on the dyno. Mind you, These cars have sensors in everything including the BRAKE PADS. yes there are wires and connectors on each individual brake pad, because I had to spend over $300 in just pads for this car. So the wheel bearings also have sensors in them as well, this is to help with traction control. VW Diesels have a very strict ecm programming in them that will make these cars go into "Limp-Mode" over a simple evap leak. (No Joke) By default when these cars get on a 2wd dyno and the back wheels are not spinning, the traction control light will blink and the ecm will get into a level 1 Limp Mode, which will dial the power back. It was VW's intentions of dialing power back for safety reasons. However some college students caught on with the issue, so they wanted to investigate and see why VW cars were doing this. They were able to take a VW car over to a tuning shop which had a dyno supporting 2 rollers on deck. The 2nd roller was powered by a belt underneath the dyno to keep the speed up on the back wheels along with the front. Traction control light never came on, and power was way on the charts. They also taken a smog test kit and found that a car with less than 30k miles failed emissions MISERABLY. So they reported it to CARB, and thats when water hit the fan with VW. Now Truck emissions issues! At one point I worked for a company that had their trucks locked down to 62 miles an hour. It was every single month I was in the shop because these trucks COULD NOT regen properly. I was always getting engine derate messages in the dash, check engine lights etc. I was pushing a Cummins ISX-3 and used to not like them because of all the regening issues. But as time when on I learned a few things about why these issues happened the way they did. Its not because of high idle time, Its not because of high mileage, its Because 62 mph at 1100 rpm's are NOT enough to burn the soot levels out of any DPF filter. Climbing hills at 1100 rpm's will also lug an engine to its death, by burning the piston rings out and eating engine oil. To the day! That company would sell those trucks around 600 to 700k miles the moment they noticed engine was eating oil and Cummins was not wanting to warranty certain trucks in their fleet anymore. The company I work for now, hauling materials in the oilfield industry, we have our trucks set at 75mph, which rides at 1600rpm's on a 10 speed. When I'm out on work that truck is left on for 3 weeks straight. When I shift, its usually around 1800 rpm's specially when pulling hills loaded at 80k. My current Engine Cummins ISX-3 with 800k miles. Runs like its brand new. Never seen a single Engine derate message, never had a regen issue, never once had to add any oil in it, and we can pull just about any hill fully loaded going no less than 73mph. Same engine, same emissions system, different company, with a higher set governor. The problem is most mega carrier fleets will dump all the power out of the truck and speed to save on fuel. But trust me when I tell you, those savings in fuel costs are going to be used for fixing the emissions on a lower powered truck.

Man u r so right.. low governed truck.. driver tryin to make it up a hill is dumping only partially burned fuel-exhaust into the filters and choking the engine. My old company that fired me last yr for no reason (i didnt giv a fk.. i had money saved and other plans anyway).. called me earlier this yr to come back for more money. Last yr the truck went 75 on pedal, 80 on cruise control (kw t680 with cummins isx450) I agreed to come back this yr but stipulated a sped up truck like i had b4 without askin (i wont drive a slow truck for many reasons) They lied and sent me out in a 70mph truck. They lied and bullshhtd for 3 weeks about turnin the truck up. When they finally did, i learned that u can raise or lower each gears rpm as well. So youre right, a good rpm limit of 1900, 2000 is where u want to be. That truck ran so dam good. My project truck sat in the back of their yard so u know i felt shitty drivin theirs, neglecting mine. I built my money up, quit them and went around the corner to their young tech. He turned my Cascadia up to 86mph, and the rpms had already been set, and still are at around 2200 per gear. I left em at that, tho 1900 is a good sweet spot. I jus know not to over rev my engine DD15. Its an ex Schneider truck

I have 2013 KW T660. About 2 months ago I was going to or was thinking about deleting my KW. Here's the kicker, the 4th of July this year the crank went. ENGINE trashed. Now this was under warranty. The dealer put a 2016 ISX 425 Cummins in it. They did 21,000 plus in replacement parts because of that crank going out. Had I decided to delete it I would have been so screwed! The dealer would not have covered it. It gave me 2nd thoughts on deleting it. It's been a decent truck considering the DEF CRAP.

I currently drive a glider with a big 60 in it and came from a Cascadia with the piss tank on it and if your in commifornia or somewhere always warm Def works but here in the moose and maple leaf where we get 20 and 30 below for months on end pray your tank heating doesn't stop as the shit freezes at -12c and freezes solid at -15c

The operating costs and downtime with emissions have soared. It's literally a matter of luck with these systems. If you gotta delete, I'd agree if not the truck is worthless. I just cannot agree with rebuilding an emission year engine. Get an old CAT, Cummins, Or Detroit....put a straight pipe and grab a ruler for your logbook.

If I would definitely delete, straight from showroom floor! Especially now days, you have a warranty but the truck sits due to lack of parts, usually emissions controls are the culprit.

It worked because the testing stations did not use exhaust gas sniffers but depended upon the onboard diagnostics of the vehicle

I was in a 2013 Peterbilt Paccar powered truck from late 2012 to 2017. It went 2 weeks before the problems started, generally only a sensor, but you have to go to the dealer to get it fixed. Long waits at most dealers because all the 2010 & newer trucks are having those problems. Also, DEF freezes even with the heater in the tank. When it's below -20 youre going to have problems. Even when the gauge shows more than enough DEF in the tank. When the system stops getting what it needs the truck gets de-rated, you have to get towed to the dealer. Between Towing, Hotel bills, repair bills, cash flow stopping & the higher cost of the equipment, they are not worth the trouble. Glider kits were the way to go while that lasted. I went back to pre emission trucks & take as good care of them as possible everything was made to be rebuilt on them, that is the only option for me.

1.1 mil and climbing with full emissions intact. Just have to know certain things to keep up with on added maintenance and they run like a top. Several sensors in the system have a tendency to fail and don’t have codes stating they are the problem. They always point to bigger things and the system is not what’s failing

California just did a study and determined DEF fluid is more harmful than Diesel itself 🤣 so now they are looking into something to replace the DEF/and or system.

A shop near me got fined $800,000 and had to switch every single truck back to stock

just don't get caught!!

I know of a shop in Illinois that removed all the emissions off the truck I was driving that belonged to an owner operator.... Had to be towed twice because the exhaust system regenerate switch didn't work... Removing the emissions helped...the only problem is, most shops won't work on trucks that don't have emissions...

In the last 23 yrs I have NEVER seen so many trucks caught on fire because of the def crap. My boss has 7 trucks, the 1 I drive is a 99’ W900. I don’t have all that crap on y truck. I think all that is just another way for someone in D C to deepen their pockets. Like what you do bro. Keep it up

I don't like that emissions systems, but don't delete them. The Fed's need to pause all new standards for at least 10 year's.

Decades ago, when cat converters first appeared on cars and they required unleaded gas, some owners either deleted the cat converter or punched out the guts of the converter. Then modified the fuel fill neck to accept the leaded gas nozzle. Lots of gas stations would refuse to pump leaded gas into those cars and shops would not work on them as they didn't want to get blamed for the mods. Over time, the emission controls and tuning improved. Also, the EPA required manufacturers to warranty the systems for 100,000 miles. Prior to that, an exhaust system might last 3 - 4 years and rust away, particularly in the snow/salt zones. Now, my 2005 Toyota Sienna and 2003 Ford Crown Vic both have the original exhaust. Come to think of it, I did have the flex pipe replaced on the Toyota about 3 years ago with an aftermarket part. And not it sounds like it may be developing a leak in the same area. But, heck, at 16 years and 255K miles I can't complain very much for how long that has lasted. So, if the EPA is going to require this stuff on trucks, they should require it to be warranted for at least 200K miles and 8 years (or longer, you tell me what would be appropriate). That would provide lots of incentive for the manufacturers to either fight the EPA or build a better product.

I agree except it should be a warranty of atleast 8 years/800k miles. 100-150k os the average life span of a normal car trucks are 800k-1m

Ive been driving for a few decades now ive drove only one emissions truck and that is the current truck im driving now which is a 2015 mack mp8 i haven't had really any issues with the truck once a year it does a parked regen its a triaxle that pulls a 53 ft load king with a stinger and jeep 11 axle rig i do miss seeing the belch of smoke but i also enjoy how quite the cab is these days in my opinion the old trucks are still a lot of fun but i do really enjoy my mack truck its been very dependable reliable and strong its not the fastest nor is it the slowest but it puts bread on my table safely and efficiently

Brand new trucks literally constantly clog dpf filter or def sensors foul. I used to tow, and pulled new trucks off side of the road often, driving them also regularly derate at hazardous times……….. Old trucks are worth restoring to avoid new after treatment systems. The inefficiency isnt just in making a repair, parts are often backordered and unavailable, making it a costly delay, load is late, backhaul lost, cascading effects etc.

If it was such a good thing then Cat wouldn't have said screw you and stopped building them for semi's! I knew a guy that took all the crap off of his Cat, did a military ECM and went from 5 mpg to 9.5 mpg and over 700hp in a 379. ANYTIME an engine was tuned on a dyno correctly it made more power, got far better mpg and lasted longer!!

The Authority you get to haul freight in the United States comes from the Federal Government. Yes you own the truck but the Federal Government gives you the Authority to operate. So therefore you have to obey their rules. In the next 20 years your truck will be electric anyway.

When I worked for a company a driver was sideswiped by a car cause it blew through the stop sign . The def system was on the passenger side of the truck and it cost 40k to replace. Wouldn't have cost a 1/3 of that if it didn't exist. Not to mention who knows what won't work right after reinstallation.

That's mine too d e f system sucks but I don't have to worry about it
