EPA Got Us!!!! Nobody Is Safe!! Huge Fine!!!

[JHDieselandX]

This is not a video to bash the EPA just FYI. It’s more to educate people on the diesel side of things and give my opinion on why I don’t think it is actually helping the environment. Somehow we have to get the word out there in a big way. Not just the RPM act. We can’t rely on one thing. I think a trip to Washington is going to be in order soon.

[MythUnknown]

Out of every channel posting their take on EPA, you’ve been the only one who was completely transparent and not afraid to speak the truth. I appreciate that man

[PFIBrent]

We will stay on this and bring awareness and work for clarity and change ! Love you brother !

[stiggy]

I never would have expected JH to be the voice of reason on all of this, but damn did he just break it down. Excellent video, man.

[REDDOG]

I commend you for taking the time to break this down for everyone. I own a small delivery service in New York and lease 4 Diesel Clean air certified medium duty delivery trucks.
We have been fined numerous times for performing a manual regen while making deliveries in city conditions. New York has deputized any citizen who can video a truck running for 3 or more minutes. They fill out an affidavit and submit the video and they will receive 20% of any fine that is paid. (fines start at $300 and goes up to $1, 000-) per incident. It's all about the .
Any diesel engine driver knows when the warning light comes on you better regen it before it goes into shut down mode and then its a must to bring into the shop.
Personally I own a 2019 Nissan Titan with a 5.0 cummins and love the truck. I tow a 38ft RV around the country and you don't even know its behind the truck. At 51, 000 miles my check engine light came on and when I brought it to the dealer they told me the Particulate filter needed to be replaced. I assumed this would be covered under the 100, 000 mile drivetrain but NO it's only warranted for 50, 000 miles. After back and forth between the dealer and Nissan they finally agreed to front the cost of replacement ($7, 250)
22, 000 miles later the check engine light comes on again....UGGGH-- This time Nissan would only cover 40% of the cost as the part was only warrantied for 1 year after installation.. So this cost me $3250 out of pocket.. This has nothing to do with the environment!! If we could FOLLOW THE MONEY the picture would be crystal clear. The reast of the world including China and India do things that are way more harmful to the environment they we could ever do.
I feel your pain and the hard working tax payers of this country need to take a stand and fight the nonsense laws instated by the corrupt politicians in offiice!!

Just a note, PFI said that if you pay the fine, the small print says you can never modify a vehicle again.

[Tb]

They’re making a point by going after well known people in the community.

[andrewhenry]

I agree 💯! If they want us to have this crap in our trucks the EPA should be the ones replacing anything that fails.

[shadetreemechanicracing]

It's not about the emissions, it's about the politicians who have money invested in the industry.

[Roadhammer]

I’ve been trucking for 11 years and almost all of my problems on the road have been emission related. Fuel mileage and reliability are awful. Everything you said, stats, all spot on. Thank you for saying it and being well informed about the issues we’re dealing with.

[junkaccounts]

It's called pockets and every politician in Washington is in somebody's PERIOD

I am an industrial engineer at one of the bigger manufacturers of these devices, our plant makes 3-5, 000 catalytic converters and 250+ DPFs per week, so I'll throw my .02 in here as well.

Gasoline engine owners: There is virtually no reason for you to remove your catalyst from your vehicle. We flow test every brick that leaves our plant and if they have more than 1-2% restriction in flow they fail and are crushed, mind you this is with CPSI's far in excess of what your engine can produce. Before you rip me apart, yes, if you start adding turbos and nitrous your flow will eventually exceed what that stock brick can handle, that's why they make racing cats and you should be using them.

Remember how people used to kill themselves by letting their car idle in the garage? You cannot do that with a modern car, its impossible. That's how efficient these cats are now and without getting too deep into the chemistry, that should tell you what you are breathing in an open exhaust situation.

Diesel guys: Rip that shit off. There is no good solution currently available for you. The EPA has done something it should have never done, which is write policies without a viable market solution. EVERY DPF will eventually get clogged and fail. All of them. You cannot clean them, and shouldnt attempt to. When you 'clean' these things by spraying them with water or air, you are busting the PGM off the substrate, when that happens, shit gets hot QUICK. Throw in a regen cycle and start dumping unburnt fuel into the catalyst and they will literally melt the monolith and plug = bye bye turbskies. The SCR situation is not much better, and JH is absolutely on point when it comes to that fucking DEF fluid. Its a poor solution that passes the buck on to the consumer and its ethically wrong to require it.

I want our planet clean, but I want accountability for the MAIN CAUSES like Chinese and Indian manufacturing facilities. When I see parades of National Guard Humvees and people carriers moving down the highway with no emissions whatsoever, and then see our government wrecking American companies like this, frankly we have lost our way.

[WigSplitterMMA]

I just wish one day we can all come together and actually stand up to this shit. Like Joe Rogan said it’s a small amount of people making life hard for the rest of us.

[kedrickswain]

If they’re willing to settle, you know it’s just a cash grab. Fight it 100%

[kennedykioko]

This is starting to sound like a money racket. Middle class in the US is getting slowly eroded, because all I see is this is hurting the little guys. Thank you for the great video man.

[anthonybomicino]

Explained like a boss. The 15 out of 5000 ship stat hits hard. 🤯

[SkyzBlazed]

All of this is insane. I'm just so thankful that my LB7 has no emissions, along with my state having no mandatory inspection as of yet. EGR is KILLING these diesels, so sad.

[bdp-racing]

You do realize that over 90% of those EPA office workers that come up with this stuff can't even put air in their tires...

[steviej]

Im glad the general public is starting to pay attention to all this now. The trucking industry has been dealing with this for so many years..
