    A cautionary note to apply here: The feds are cracking down on shops that do emissions deletes. Feds are pushing dealers and major repair shops to basically seize any truck that has emissions mods and hold them until they are put back to factory. It's a movement that is picking up steam. They are basically pushing to bankrupt the shops doing deletes.

    This is recent local stuff for pick-ups but they are looking at big trucks also.

    Got to the yard, and my Jeeps battery was dead. It’s brand new. Old Owner had AAA put it in. Car fax shows about 5 trips to the Dealer, checking battery before then. Somethings drawing juice somewhere. Factory alarms only thing that stays on, doubt that’s enough of a draw. Red blinking light on dash. Had to hook a strap from truck tow pin to hook on rear of Jeep, and pull it out of my spot. Never buy a vehicle that comes with a built in tow hook, Lol.

    @D.Tibbitt ?? I wouldnt bother with the headache of the deletion. Then when your caught the cost can be more than a new truck. Maybe you got away with it for 5 years, or 5 days. All that profit will suddenly erode. Its like running red heating oil in the fuel tanks. DOT will dip your tanks and they can see the dye 2 years after you went back to higway fuel,
