Read over on Dodgetalk and Bully Dog rep said a bill is going to be passed to allow the removal of DPFs for Farmers and Commerical users alike.

Here is the link to the thread:

Anyone know if it is true?

 

Read it again . A bill is TRYING to be passed . Won't happen . California even passed regulations requiring heavy off road construction equipment to be retrofitted with DPF equipment . I read a while back in " Light and Medium Truck " magazine that due to DPF's and rising costs of diesel fuel above gasoline some utility fleets are ordering new 1 ton and medium trucks with gas engines .

 

my brother's sister's causens uncles brother inlaw told me, that was basically the way that was phrased. Id really question any reliability in that but i have been wrong.

 

huh???????

What he meant was it is nothing but a rumor and not very likely to happen.

 

Certainly won't happen. With Tier III and Tier IV emissions standards coming for off-raod equipment, no-one will be exempt anymore. The standards for Tier IV really make me shutter - do a google search on it.

 

Is this for real???

 

Farm tags here I come!!

 

i heard that in the coming years in california that you will have to have a filter in your pants to reduce your "emissions"after a visit to the local taco stand.

 

Now THATS closer to happening than the legal removal of DPF's

Don't say it too loud or them nutcases will implement it..........

 

Why are they trying to gain exemption? Higher cost of maintenance?

 

Is says in the thread there have been several reports of grass fires caused when going into regen mode.

 

I have yet to read of anyone getting a grass fire. If anything the ford will have to change. My truck regens at idle and when its in regen mode in park i can go to the tip and if i get closer than 18 inches away my hand will probably burn.
