To "delete" or not to "delete"
I have a 2012 Cummins, even the Dealer suggest I have a reputable company delete it. I have done very little research on this, but was curious how many of you have had this done? The dealer said it wi...

So let me get this straight 6.6 Oilbunrner. You have exactly ZERO experience, ZERO facts, and ZERO data backing up your assumptions and you are calling my comments foolish and me a wingnut? WOW!!!!
The new trucks do not burn twice as much diesel to reduce emissions. Please show your data backing up such a ludicrous claim.
What they hell does that have to do with what we are discussing? If you are saying that these emission devices are causing massive issues in over the road trucks I can tell you that you're dead wrong. I currently work in the class 7 & 8 diesel truck field (mostly oilfield now) and I can tell you these trucks are not being downed left and right due to emission systems like you are trying to claim. Although I shouldn't be too surprised since most of your claims have been baseless without any real world experience of the matter up to this point anyways.
Wasn't ready for it? If you never worked for an diesel engine manufacturer then how do you know who was ready for what? I can tell you that we knew at Cummins what the next round of emissions standards were years in advance. If you think that the development of the 6.7L from the 5.9L was just an overnight thing then you are sadly mistaken.
Actually the numbers going by the data is way more than that although again I would love to see where you get your data to back up such ludicrous statements and assumptions.

Particulate matter aside, how much does making a truck burn twice as much fuel actually reduce emissions?

What about the increase in the cost of every tangible good delivered by a truck?

The trucks were running cleaner than they ever did before the EPA came in and fast tracked standards that no one was ready for.

So EVERY LAST PERSON in the country suffers the consequences financially to some extent and maybe just maybe we reduced cancer by .00005% in areas near major highways?
