It looks like Lee Zeldin, new EPA head, is rolling back emissions requirements for the USA.

We shall see.

I don't think the EPA ever had the power to do what they've done in the first place. Especially fining people the way they have. Just because a vehicle is smoking, doesn't necessarily mean that the clean air act is being violated. That's just my opinion though.

That's just my opinion though.I've seen local government affiliated vehicles that absolutely were originally equipped with DPFs smoking like trains... Rules for thee, not for me!

Exactly right. And the epa doesn't enforce these same rules on the federal government and their diesel trucks.

Diesel guys will still blame their greedy tendences on the EPA like they have for the past 5 years if they make it legal or not. Which was emissions tuning illegal and sill is absolutely. But why did they not crack down on all the Gasoline powered cars with no Cats or any of their emission components on them and that's plastered everywhere. If you really think the EPA is gonna come after you as a person because you removed the emissions' is wrong thinking. Why did they go after the people they did. Maybe because the trucks were so cranked up that they threw a storm cell sized cloud in the street when they were getting up to the speed limit. I would not like that either. Take what you want but the diesel world has a lot of cool stuff in its favor but when everyone wants to stay quite so they can make more money and seem like the king it kills it all. People want to learn because that's half the fun with this kind of stuff.
