DPF not part of emission syst.

A "Fix-It" ticket, or order to restore to OEM condition, should be given AND a traditional citation with substantial fine. That way the evil doer is punished with a BIG, BAD fine and has a short time to bring the vehicle into spec. No one is implying that the you should let the offender off with a warning. If you play and get caught you should pay. Simple.

So it sounds like the next step would be to find a way to install a code free DPF delete kit on a truck, with all the emissions stuff still on the truck, but gutted?

Aren't simple fueling boxes technically a "no-no" for emissions.

My entry level 70HP Banks box is 50 state legal but there are always the "off road use only" boxes everyone else runs. Just don't get caught with the box set to anything but the stock configuration.

A fix-it ticket implies something broke :-laf removing the 100 lbs of aftertreatment equiptment is a bit different. Here in Cali the ricers got so bad the carb (cali air resource board) guys got power of arrest. They were impounding cars and if they got attitude it escalated from there.

Bob is correct, here in Alberta, when a commercial truck is pulled over if anything is not per the known spec you are impounded, NOW, no questions asked. While the emissions equipment is not required here in Alberta it is still part of the known spec for the vehicle. The Commercial Cops are charged with the total aspect of safety of commercial vehicles and any and all maintenance and or modifications must be of an approved nature. So the general rule is if it looks right it will be a warning and not a citation. The major concern is weight, brakes, registration, and any safety violations. Attitude of the driver can play a huge part of acceptable compliance if nothing visible or obvious is found. This explains why many hot shot operators run unmarked vehicles. However if you pull a trailer of any type you had better be prepared to be pulled over, personal use or commercial, THEY are looking for infractions, weight , hauling limits, certificates of compliance ETC. Life can be such fun! LOL

I think it might be better to have an electric bypass switch like they do in some Porsches. When going off-road, flip a switch and your blowing straight through. When you are back in town, flip it back to street-mode. I wonder if you can run both systems separately, but side by side? Anyone?
