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.
