    I have been hearing that 70% of all trucks running down the road have had some sort of work done to them. Once a truck hits 400,000 miles is when the real issues arise. Many companies have no clue what an EGR tuneup is. Then throw in the extended service intervals and you are speaking of financial ruin for the next owner of the vehicle. In many cases a delete is the difference between financial ruin and a paycheck. The problem is, there are only a few guys doing these properly. Most outfits doing these deletes are nothing but butchers destroying motors. If you go this route, do your own due diligence. And when you hear you need an old style turbo, or that those cans do not need to be totally gutted, or the EGR cooler has to come off, or the SCR can does not need to be messed with, you better run. Also, a good shop will install a turbo boost gauge and pyrometer along with a good look at your motor. These emissions systems mask quite a few issues, like fretted liners and blown head gaskets. Don't be a victim. Remember that.

    We should all just stop breathing since we all exhale that nasty gas called carbon dioxide.

    I've heard they say the co2 is 400 parts per whatever they're measuring it as, and at 150 plants start dieing, this was on some radio show so I dont know how true it is.

    I don’t see trees wilting all over the place, so I think it’s a bunch of crap.

    It's not down to 150 yet either, but I don't think we should try it and see.

    Plants require CO2 to fuel the photosynthesis process, turning that CO2 & water into glucose & oxygen.
