It's all about emissions and keeping the regulations on point..

I am an industrial engineer at one of the bigger manufacturers of these devices, our plant makes 3-5,000 catalytic converters and 250+ DPFs per week, so I'll throw my .02 in here as well. Gasoline engine owners: There is virtually no reason for you to remove your catalyst from your vehicle. We flow test every brick that leaves our plant and if they have more than 1-2% restriction in flow they fail and are crushed, mind you this is with CPSI's far in excess of what your engine can produce. Before you rip me apart, yes, if you start adding turbos and nitrous your flow will eventually exceed what that stock brick can handle, that's why they make racing cats and you should be using them. Remember how people used to kill themselves by letting their car idle in the garage? You cannot do that with a modern car, its impossible. That's how efficient these cats are now and without getting too deep into the chemistry, that should tell you what you are breathing in an open exhaust situation. Diesel guys: Rip that shit off. There is no good solution currently available for you. The EPA has done something it should have never done, which is write policies without a viable market solution. EVERY DPF will eventually get clogged and fail. All of them. You cannot clean them, and shouldnt attempt to. When you 'clean' these things by spraying them with water or air, you are busting the PGM off the substrate, when that happens, shit gets hot QUICK. Throw in a regen cycle and start dumping unburnt fuel into the catalyst and they will literally melt the monolith and plug = bye bye turbskies. The SCR situation is not much better, and JH is absolutely on point when it comes to that fucking DEF fluid. Its a poor solution that passes the buck on to the consumer and its ethically wrong to require it. I want our planet clean, but I want accountability for the MAIN CAUSES like Chinese and Indian manufacturing facilities. When I see parades of National Guard Humvees and people carriers moving down the highway with no emissions whatsoever, and then see our government wrecking American companies like this, frankly we have lost our way.

I applaud your sense of sanity because I believe you have some among these people. But isn't the emission system clogging by capturing the volatiles actually better tham all of it venting to atmosphere at a microscopic level? Also I feel putting emissions on military vehicles is a pretty risky move considering people put their lives on the vehicles being 100% reliable and easy to maintain, anywhere. Not to mention they arent nearly as common as your everyday diesel truck. There was actually a program I thought to make humvees more economical and powerful ended up falling through because it was far too heavy to make the vehicle perform well enough because of course they had to over build it to be hyper reliable. Make no mistake... diesels have improved. They have gotten more expensive and complicated, but their efficiency has improved leaps and bounds. Dont forget trucks twice the size of those in the 90s are getting over double to fuel economy and power. In fact the government still offers tax deductions I thought because they are still seen as an efficient design.

BDP - What is your source for that info ? Thanks.

I commend you for taking the time to break this down for everyone. I own a small delivery service in New York and lease 4 Diesel Clean air certified medium duty delivery trucks. We have been fined numerous times for performing a manual regen while making deliveries in city conditions. New York has deputized any citizen who can video a truck running for 3 or more minutes. They fill out an affidavit and submit the video and they will receive 20% of any fine that is paid. (fines start at $300 and goes up to $1,000-) per incident. It's all about the $$$$$$$$ . Any diesel engine driver knows when the warning light comes on you better regen it before it goes into shut down mode and then its a must to bring into the shop. Personally I own a 2019 Nissan Titan with a 5.0 cummins and love the truck. I tow a 38ft RV around the country and you don't even know its behind the truck. At 51,000 miles my check engine light came on and when I brought it to the dealer they told me the Particulate filter needed to be replaced. I assumed this would be covered under the 100,000 mile drivetrain but NO it's only warranted for 50,000 miles. After back and forth between the dealer and Nissan they finally agreed to front the cost of replacement ($7,250) 22,000 miles later the check engine light comes on again....UGGGH-- This time Nissan would only cover 40% of the cost as the part was only warrantied for 1 year after installation.. So this cost me $3250 out of pocket.. This has nothing to do with the environment!! If we could FOLLOW THE MONEY the picture would be crystal clear. The reast of the world including China and India do things that are way more harmful to the environment they we could ever do. I feel your pain and the hard working tax payers of this country need to take a stand and fight the nonsense laws instated by the corrupt politicians in offiice!!

Got my first diesel, great content, Agree 1000% on all this. after 30 years of Gas engines and never owning a diesel, I was blown away what all goes on these diesels, to the point I don't see how they operate. got a 23 f350, I can't imagine how much better it would run and longer it would last without these emissions. The DEF fluid I purchased crystalized inside the nozzle, which makes me wonder what it does inside the truck. I've learned alot in the last few weeks, and NOT to store the def fluid in the bed of my truck, but it's all so freaking ridiculous. I'm betting if we tested emissions during the regen, we would see there is very little benefit to all this, just the government paving the way for EV and making billions from the people at the same time.

It's really hilarious. They added in the DPF to remove DPM aka soot. Despite the fact soot is a very heavy particle and falls on the ground within approximately 50ft of where it is emitted. So we add the DPF to catch the soot, then burn it off with a diesel injector in the exhaust. Yes, burn more fuel to save emissions?!?! However burning the soot off creates excess NOX, which is gaseous and goes straight to the atmosphere. So then we add in a SCR and a DEF injection system to deal with excess NOX. All of this to remove a tiny amount of soot, that literally does not pollute the air. The factory pollution to create all of these items 100% do more damage to the world than just burning diesel as normal. Precisely because once we do all these things, diesels still emit pollution. It's not like these systems eliminate it completely. All of this doesn't even factor in how many of these parts will have to be replaced over lifetime of the vehicle, and the associated pollution to the production of said parts.

One of the best and most informative videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you for putting this together. 🤯

I'm a little late to the party as I'm somehow just now discovering your channel...and this video. Great video and I'm now subscribed. I've been laughing for years now every time I see a carboard box with a plastic jug inside of it sitting on a shelf thousands of miles away from where it was produced. Yep, saving the environment....one carboard box and plastic jug at a time. We also have to think about all the emissions created by making these additional, unnecessary parts. My 1999 F350, 7.3PS got 18-20MPG not towing a trailer. My 03, 05 and 06 6.0 PS got 14MPG at best and cost thousands to keep running. My 99 with less emissions was way cleaner by the simple fact it got more MPGs. We also need to discuss the manufacturers: they didn't fight increased emissions standards as the more parts they put on a vehicle the more they make when they sell a vehicle. In addition, they also knew they would be making more profit on selling parts for repairs and service as the vehicles are now less reliable. It is easy for them to say to the consumer. "sorry there is nothing we can do. The government is making us do this." They should have fought this but they were greedy. In the late 90's the idiots at the EPA did a study that determined a gallon of diesel fuel put out more emissions than a gallon of gasoline and demanded something be done. I think anyone that had ever been around a diesel engine could see that. What the idiots should have done however, was compare the emissions per mile driven (in comparable vehicles/conditions) and they would have seen that modern diesels actually emit fewer emissions. This entire journey to make "cleaner diesels" has been about money and power form day 1!

Producing all that extra garbage is ok because the government is getting paid from the tax.

As a fleet manager, I whole heartily agree with you, the huge reduction in fuel economy, the massive expense of maintenance, overwhelming downtime due to constant failures is out of control. And when these trucks regen, the fumes are nauseous. We've had drivers taken to the hospital for carbon monoxide poisoning in truck stops from the fumes pulled in thru the climate system. In 2005 I purchased a fleet of Peterbilt conventional road trucks @ $106k ea....today that same truck runs $180k - $200k depending on specs. We now spend on avg 3.8 million a year on DEF, again for these trucks to live in the shop. The famous phrase from the dealer is "It needs a software update and regen" to only have the truck back in the shop a few days later for the same issue. These expenses at the end of the day get passed on to the consumers of products transported. Absolute insanity.

Spot on! Rules for me & not for thee. Laws only apply to the common man. To add to my disgust, I operate a crane 2012-2013 mod. It has a muffler filter, preforms regen & the whole nine yards. BUT designed to operate on diesel fuel. ( no def fluid) this fiasco is corrupt, criminal thugs in high places getting rich.

The shop I use for my Ram does deletes under the table. If you call, they say they have never heard of a delete but that they have a service called an "exhaust weight reduction" haha. It's cash only and they do it after hours and you have to pick your truck up the same night, I dropped mine off at 5pm when they closed and picked it up at 9pm. $1,500 cash for a delete and straight pipe.

This is what happens when laws are created based on feelings rather than results.
