New legislation in the Senate would vacate sentences for truck mechanics convicted of tampering with emissions controls and strip EPA’s authority over vehicle pollution rules.

We delete them in canada for a reason they are expensive to maintain, we work in remote areas, it gets very cold and def freezes. They break down at the most inopportune time, sends vehicles into derate or limp mode till fixed. There is no advantage to having these installed on anything. We went 70 years without it. California is the cause for all of this bs emissions systems.

So they put machines in the trucks to monitor emissions? Why not get the truck manufacturers to make more emissions friendly trucks if the machines cause unnecessary inconveniences to our North America bloodline

It’s too expensive to maintain if they require trucks to have them then they ought to repair them.

What’s the excuse for giving those Coal Roller fumigating folks a pass?

It’s fun to do donuts, but still can’t do that motor fun in an occupied city park!
