Diesel tuning restrictions for USA customers

[Chevy366]

And we supposedly live in the land of the free.

It is free, you just have to pay for it.

Uh yeah, we also live in the land with the most automobiles, and pollution......................................... ...

What?? Have you ever seen Mexico City? Or India? Or China, though they are improving. We may have the most automobiles, but I don't buy that we have the most pollution.

But, the EPA is the reason we don't have much pollution. And while some of their rules are questionable, they have done their job since they were created. I just wish we the public had more (some?) say in the matter.

You are right, the USA is not #1, its #2 since 2007 and it releases 3 times the amount of pollution than #3 Russia. Prior to 2007 it was the worlds #1 polluting country, and now it's JUST behind the #1 polluter which is China. And this is just for air pollution. I would hate to see the stats that include nuclear/water/land/light pollution.
#1 China
2 USA
3 Russia
4 India
5 Japan
6 Germany
7 Canada
8 UK
9 South Korea
10 Iran

No Ben, we do not live in the land with the most pollution. And hasn't been since before the 2004/2007/2010 implementation of stricter emissions controls on diesel automobiles.

Thanks for clarifying.

One last question I have, since some others have made statements that created some confusion on this point:

When the upcoming versions of EFILive are installed and used on a PC in the US, the DPF & EGR features will not be available (as we all know by now).
But if that *SAME* PC is subsequently moved to a location outside the reach of the US EPA (say to a foreign country such as Belize), will the DPF & EGR features "magically" become available once again without the user having to take any additional steps?

Thanks!

I doubt that the staff at EFILive will answer that question. They have already said that they will not divulge how they are determining what country you are tuning in.

Funny you should mention Belize. I was just down there.... for reasons mentioned above. A lot of diesel trucks down there, probably all stolen.

It's funny how the automotive world works. I had been noticing brand new 2011+ model FORD's over here with the 2.7L V6 Diesel blowing some soot on hard acceleration, this intrigued me as I couldn't figure how a new car with a DPF could be doing this. Well after a looking looking around the answer was simple, from factory these cars have no DPF, yes, a 2011+ diesel car with no DPF from factory. I guess FORD has no plans to export those to the USA!
It gets better, the 2013 Holden Colorado with the 2.8L Duramax has no DPF either, no wonder both these vehicles get exceptional highway MPG figures (FORD claimed 37MPG for a 4,510 lb vehicle).
