"All this emissions stuff can
"All this emissions stuff can be bothersome at times. Sometimes problematic since there a lot of sensors and wires and algorithms that could hiccup. Sometimes when you remove those emission systems and retune the ECM's, you get an unbelievable amount of potential out of engines that are otherwise choked down. Some places you can get away with it, some can't."
Bothersome? Lots of sensors and wires and algorithms that could hiccup? Isn't your entire pickup truck basically composed of sensors, wires, and algorithms that are required in order for it to run and perform as expected? Hint, yes it is.
Regarding your unsubstantiated emissions claims, please provide the large data set you examined, from a number of years of diesel pickups, where these problems you mentioned occur routinely....we'll wait...and wait...and wait...
You're part of the bad information problem you mentioned at the beginning of your comment, and not a solution to solving it, when you write unsubstantiated claims such as "Sometimes problematic since there a lot of sensors and wires and algorithms that could hiccup."
