“That’s a notion lifelong trucker Cole Stevens, whose family owns Oklahoma-based Stevens Trucking, noted in his own interview with Cowboy State Daily when the outlet first broke Troy Lake’s story Aug. 2.
Stevens is an industry expert who doesn’t know and hasn’t worked with Troy Lake.
Almost everybody I know that’s like a conservative, three-quarter-ton owner deletes their just, regular day-to-day pickup trucks,” he said.
But because his business is so high-profile, added Stevens, he doesn’t indulge in the practice.
“When the federal government started to regulate all these emissions deals, there’s all these evaporators and all these sensors that are just overkill; it actually makes the engines burn so hot you actually have way more engine problems,” he said.
It’s tough to tell if the new systems’ particulate treatments are worth the damages they’ve wrought on the industry and the hazards they’ve caused, he said, because the major manufacturers have sunk billions of dollars into them to appease what Stevens cast as a rushed government pipe dream — “and nobody’s doing any tests for non-DEF systems anymore. Nobody’s making that argument.” “
Yea, I read the article but I still wonder how DEF delete kits are different than what he did.
No, it's not. It's government regulatory garbage.
