My 12 ram is deleted because I got tired of going to the shop every 2 months to get the egr cleaned. It’s chipped just enough to keep the computer from throwing a code. I’ve never seen black smoke from my tailpipe. I know some gets out but I’m sure it’s nominal. For those proclaiming my vehicle should be stolen by the government and I should also fined, I think you should do your part and quit towing trailers or using truck campers or driving motor homes because even you are contributing to the very thing you’re complaining about.

Maybe wrong, maybe right. 2012 is Tier 4 which essentially means no visible particulates emitted from the tail pipe. Once you did the 'delete' you violated the Federal Clean Air Standard for your vehicle so you assume all liability and conversely, the resale value has dropped as well. You may pass it off to another owner but if it don't pass emissions testing down the road, or the next owner is subject to the opacity test and fails, the liability comes right back on you as the 'deleter'. How it works, like it or not.

My 2007 7.3 is a Tier 2 engine. I blows minimal particulates but because it's a Tier 2 emissions engine, that is acceptable. Yours however is not.

Getting tired of isn't getting it repaired correctly. You took the easy way out, nothing more.
