California Clean Air Board Ignoring Deadly Truck Fires

I think the problem comes from the aftermarket installations, which wasn't approved for sale in the first place. And may have never been cleaned also.

There's a couple of aftermarket companies making them. And i think they've been banned from producing and selling any more. Been awhile since i heard the story. And haven't heard anything new on the matter lately.

This lawsuit was announced last year.

 

There have been a few callers on the KR show who love there filters and are claiming better mileage. But we all know that people can say anything.

 

Kalifornia should become it's own country....Would solve a lot of its self induced problems being endured by the rest of us....

 

I'm getting the same mileage and performance. No issue's with mine, and its not a stock Cat. The DPF has a gauge that measures heat and back pressure. With a good install and a good tune, they run flawless. Not to forget the maintenance on them.

 

How long does the retrofitted DPF allow you to run? 2020 or 2023, I have heard both.

 

Retrofit on what year engine?

 

Say a 1996 for example. Is there a schedule for retrofits as well? Last time I looked at the CARB website I didn't see anything. Been awhile though

 

Yea, if you had the filter installed before January 1, 2017 on a 1996 engine then you are good til 2023

 

Wrong,,must have been installed prior to 1-1-2014 and reported installed before 1-31-2014,,currently a 2005 retrofit can run untill 2021,and an 06 can run untill 2022 if done now,,all other year model engines can only run untill 2020 if done now,,and 1995 and older are no longer eligible for retrofit,,1995 and older had to have a good faith effort reported prior to 2014 and the install had to have been completed prior to 7-1-14 and reported by 7-31-14,,allowing compliance untill 2020,,to have a retrofit deemed compliant untill 2023,,it had to have been installed in 2013 or have had a manufacturer delay filed before 9-1-13
