    Got this from another site, confirmed from one of my suppliers. Wonder how long until they hit the heavy truck market

    Quote
    I have been contacted and comfirmed that EPA has suppended all sales of all the tuners for 6.4 trucks. EPA doesn't what the DPF system deactived, and untill they come to some agreement with the tuner companys they have suppend all tuners until then. I just wanted to get the info out there, maybe later if the DPF system cannot be turned off the EPA might let tuners sell again, but for THANKS EPA.


    Let the fun begin.........

    We are hearing more talk in Canada too that MOT at the scales will also be plugging in looking for tuners and any deleted after treatment devices as part of the road side inspection. Enforcement is basically non existent at this point, but don't bet it will stay this way for too long.

    After the EPA went after the engine manufacturers in 1997 I am suprised that they haven't started hauling companies that sell the tuners to court before now. If they can shut the coal industry down, the small ecm software programmer won't survive very long. Look at where we are with CARB.

    Well, thank the idiots that put on a tuner to see how much smoke they can blow out their 20 inch stacks on their pickup........


    Thank CARB also, so we get to run this crap that makes the trucks not run good, yes this from a state where, because of what they have had to put on diesels, the trucks are actually CLEANING the air. All of you in CA need to send them a bill for cleaning their air. And this from a state that worries about diesel smoke but you cna smoke all the pot you want and it's ok.
