Now when is cummins going to settle their's? By the way, I really don't blame the manufacturer's as much as epa and carb.

I want to know also when Cummins becomes clean with there issues.

Couldn't disagree more about blaming the manufactures. They all have an equal hand at producing a product that is unrealiable and very cost effective for there bottom line, not ours.

VW is only the tip of the iceberg, the feds and carb are going to really up the ante when there new found revenue checks are cashed.

This "lack of smoke" and mirrors is very profitable and provides a lot of rulemakers a very nice income from us.

I still find it amazing International and there Maxforce are allowed to be on the road with the lies they have been caught at.

Well, I did say I don't blame them as much. We all know they are NOT innocent bystanders in all this crap. Can they make a better product? Sure in time. Rawze has proven that just by legal tuning it can be improved.
BUT, we all know who the bully on the playground is and that is government (epa in our case).
They FORCE the manufacturer's to add all this crap on to a allready crappie system (EGR ENGINE) and every 3 years, they have to add even more to achieve near zero emissions engine. That in itself is a joke. And a utopia pipe dream

The unforseen consequences in all this are profits to the manufacturers. Do they take advantage of it? Sure. But I honestly believe they would prefer to not have any emissions on the engine at all like back in the day.
Just my opinion.
