New EGR System for 2020 ED

[sag2]

Looks like the new 3.0 ED will have cooled EGR and additional low pressure EGR that draws exhaust after the DPF. That should provide a significant reduction in soot in the intake.

The tdi had a similar system. It lead to moisture in the intercooler that would freeze in cold weather. Hope they don’t have that problem

I'm tired of regens while driving. Is there a way to remove all of it?

It has a couple new sensors in combination with the grille shutters to minimize moisture.

How long will it take the EPA to shut them down?

How long will it take the EPA to shut them down? Hopefully not he’s a friend and excellent engineer

If he's a friend - tell him to stop.

Not long ago TC-Diesel posted a link with all the cases the EPA does, they close one Business after another, the fines are heavily, sometimes in the +100000$ area.
And they do not go only for the big fish, even small businesses that deleted maybe one or two Trucks are in for it.

NO FUN ANYMORE, IT IS SERIOUS NOW.

Hopefully that won't happen. He's been in business for a long time and has avoided the mess thus far. Somehow he has stayed off the radar. If I ever pick up an Ecodiesel the GDE hot tune will be the first item on the list. My jeep liberty is a totally different animal after the tune and the oil stays clean now.

That's OK, I just have a helper syndrome. So can't see people running open eyed into the canyon.

Legalized extortion is what this is. Our "government" has found a way to shake down companies while pushing an agenda.

Frightening isn't it?
No one is safe from that now.

YEP, They shut down PPEI and GDE off-road tuning. Read about GDE Investigation.

Our son is the number two guy at a large wholesale exhaust system supplier. They received word that EPA was coming to audit they books. Their manufacturer suppliers(think Magnaflow/Flowmaster) said DO NOT try to hide anything from them!!!! So your little guy friend is buying "stuff" from someone, who most likely is going to get audited. Case closed, suits walk into his backyard garage.

I got Banned from the 1500diesel.com when I started to HINT that GDE's Should make Changes on How they do Business with the ECM/PMC and remove FCA COC and place Race only and NON-Conforming Labels , it would have gone a long ways with the Investigators. NO instead, trying to fool FCA and the EPA..... Really!!!!!!.The relabeling places more responsibility on the Installer, Which in GDE case was the Owner Because it was returned to billing address.

Yes it would NOT have stop the cease and desist order from the EPA, it would have stop the civil penalties

They also should have started the process of Legal Street tuning...Sno you most likely remember Cat, Cummins, DET, Volvo Back in 2009-10 These Makers by just allowing the option to turn off Emission compliant devices paid $100s of millions in fines.

The EPA is targeting companies that REMOVE emission compliant Devices, You cannot alter or stop those devices, YOU can However Mod Other devices that do add Performance, Just re-label them that they have been alter and place Company Label.

Here's part of the Law. CAA

1. 
   The prohibitions are as follows: "The following acts and the causing thereof are prohibited-" Tampering: CAA§ 203(a)(3)(A), 42 U.S.C. § 7522(a)(3)(A), 40 C.F.R. § 1068.l0l(b)(l): "for any person to remove or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a [vehicle, engine, or piece of equipment] in compliance with regulations under this subchapter prior to its sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser, or for.any person knowingly to remove or render inoperative any such device or element of design after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser;" Defeat Devices: CAA§ 203(a)(3)(B), 42 U.S.C. § 7522(a)(3)(B), 40 C.F.R. § 1068.101 (b )(2): "for any person to manufacture or sell, or offer to sell, or install, any part or component intended for use with, or as part of, any [ vehicle, engine, or piece of equipment], where a principal effect of the part or component is to bypass, defeat, or render inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a [ vehicle, engine, or piece of equipment] in compliance with regulations under this subchapter, and where the person knows or should know that such part or component is being offered for sale or installed for such use or put to such use." Section 203(a)(3)(A) prohibits tampering with emission controls. This includes those controls that are in the engine (e.g., fuel injection, exhaust gas recirculation), and those that are in the exhaust (e.g., filters, catalytic converters, and oxygen sensors). Section 203(a)(3)(B) prohibits (among other things) aftermarket defeat devices, including hardware (e.g., certain modified exhaust pipes) and software.

Yep, unfortunately big brother has too much power. All I can hope for is Trump snipping the balls off the EPA more than he’s already done.
