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.

Sorry to wizz on your oatmeal. If you need to take the truck in that often there is something wrong with the truck, or more likely because the shop didn't fix, you are not using it like it was designed. You think you need this big engine to do what you do, fine. But if you do, you should be the one to pay the cost, not the rest of the world.
As to the thought I should stop towing; I tow, but I bought what I need to tow, and do it with a box stock vehicle.
Somebody driving a 30 YO Toyota back and forth to their job. If LEO thinks to much smoke, that poor mother has to fix or replace.

You know not of what you speaketh. I tow a 36’ tt that weighs in about 10k. I tow it from Florida to the upper northwest for several months a year, plus one trip to Alaska and one coming up. Regular trips are made to see kids in Florida and Ohio. I don’t think I have too much truck. I took the truck to the dealer and two other reputable shops near home and a dealer in Columbus, OH. Same results from each. Maybe I could run it by your house to have a proper cleaning done?
You might want to tow with a glorified golf cart I but choose a capable vehicle for the load. As far as your holier than thou comment, you’re the one with the 30 year old truck that pollutes way more than my engine even comes close to.
