Lots of deisel guys will delete the system due to cost and complexity.
My father did this, but he only did this because it was either delete the EGR or scrap the truck, a truck which, almost 9 years later, he has still not paid off. He had issues specifically with the emissions device and the work involved would have turned it into a Ship of Theseus
I'm sure some of them are idiots. I'm also sure there are some people who needed a car to work, catalytic converter went out and they needed to find the cheapest possible way to pass emissions and keep getting to work.
I know that because I'm about to drop a thousand or 2 on my catalytic converter, which I'll have to install myself to save money, to pass emissions. Luckily, I can budget well and every car repair known to man is on YouTube
Saw one of these for the first time in our red neck of the woods. First thought when I saw all that black smoke coming out of that BBQ smoke stack was “how did that pass emissions?” Now I know why. Yuck
the DOJ also alleges that eBay sold 23,000 unregistered or restricted-use pesticides, which violated a 2020 U.S. EPA stop-sale order, as well as distributing 5,614 paint and coating removal products that contain methylene chloride. The chemical is linked with lethal brain and liver cancer, as well as non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Yeah, fuck em up and fine them to hell.
non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Ah shit, I was totally ready to blame them for Hank’s cancer
Ebay's response: "This is unprecedented!"; not "This is a lie!", or "We're not guilty!".
If your best response is that the EPA hasn't prosecuted you this large before, then you must be super guilty.
eBay has always sold shady stuff. They only stop when they get lots of pressure about a certain thing they're allowing. I used to buy $5 Windows 10 keys on there but they haven't sold them recently.
I hope the case results in the list of people who bought these things being forwarded to their states' authorities.
Lol bootlicker. I don't agree with their purchases by anymeans but fuck snitching to the government , an arguably more corrupt system than private sector ecommerce
Lol no state has extra resources to do anything. Murica!
And where these are most popular, the police would choose not to do anything anyway.
