Marcel67 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I hope that the new president kill the EPA so we cut the crap on derating to 5 MPH if that DEFsystem fails. In europe the system will derate the horse power but you can still drive the legal speed limit. Here i have again a truck derated for a faulty nox sensor witch cost me $$900 to tow plus repair. Im going to disconect the crap can deal with it no more!!

MHfred Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Do you regret selling the MH?

41chevy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Now that Obama and Kerry have effectively killed Keystone and are going to Paris to sign the UN Global Warming treaty (says that's what all Americans want him to do) things will only get worse. Not only will we deal with the EPA but now UN regulations also.

RedBullDog Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It seems like politicians on both sides have been drinking the Kool-Aid. I kinda doubt if there would ever be a reversal of existing laws, but the slowing of emissions "progress" is probably still very possible. I haven't read much about the UN treaty thing, but signing a document to cooperate with other countries who couldn't care less about our economy and growth cause they are in the economic gutter isn't such a hot idea.

41chevy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The jist of the UN Treaty is to lower temps and pollution levels to pre industrial age temps plus 2 degrees. The other thing is the UN program for "Zero Pollution, Zero Poverty". The polluting countries (U.S.A. , Canada The E.U and Russia) will pay into a fund for the development of jobs and education poor countries in Africa, Asia and South America. A prime example is China put 5 times more pollution out than the USA abut is considered by the UN Koyoto Agreement a developing nation, so it is on the receiving end of the UN monies.Bottom line is the developed nations will lower their economies down to 3rd world status so we are all equal, and WE get to pay for it. . .Remember according to John Kerry and Al Gore, the sea has risen so high from Global Warming that fish are swimming in the streets of Miami and NYC.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 EPA exists because Congress authorized and funds it, about all the president can do is threaten a veto. In fact, the EPA is pretty much doing what Congress told them to do, i.e. clean the air, water, etc.. Problem is that Congress didn't tell them when to quit... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42546-i-hope-that-the-new-president-cut-the-epa-crap/#findComment-310408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 That EPA thing seems to me as a very low chance to pass by.We all know or might think at least that the most of new requirements such as safety and ecology are headed not to the aims they are called of but to force consumers buy newly produced equipment. They governments must keep care about national interests and national automotive industry too as a part of it. That way they keep the track calling by other words "take money from a population (consumers) and bring them to an industry". Than getting taxes put them into social sector. And again to pay for consumption. Getting a fee from every money turn over makes some neat profit to those who controll the flow.Just kidding but I feel myself a true communist writing that above. To sorry but I'm shure all modern economies go such the way.

Marcel67 Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 MH Fred I truly regret the sale of my MH. With only 5.2 MPG it was still cheaper to run than the new trucks. However the 5mph derate is bull. Europe also wants cleaner trucks and forced in the Nederland to have companies to have a tier 4 or they can't go in to the port of Rotterdam. Why we got the 5mph derate is to me absolute mind bugling. It creates a scary situation on the road for accidents. I do now why VW did what they did its mind bugling what needs to reach and I agree with them it's out of control with these green idiots. Only way for to make it is cheating the system and get writ of the after treatment system😡.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Actually, you can influence EPA and their regs- By federal law every new regulation has to go through a review and comment period before it can be adopted. Just make an intelligent argument for your position and send it off to the EPA before the comment period is over. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42546-i-hope-that-the-new-president-cut-the-epa-crap/#findComment-310445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Don't try to convince us that "you have to go to a museum" to find a commie when a major contender for the Democrat nomination is a proud socialist, and the DNC chair can't articulate any difference between socialists and democrats. Seems to me like commies aren't all that rare after all. 2 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Popular Post grayhair Posted November 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2015 The EPA should be dissolved and its responsibilities including enforcement turned over to the states environmental departments. At the federal level, limit head count to 300 persons total or thereabout. Say 5 statisticians/field investigators/scientists per state and no more than 50 at HQ in Washington. No legislative authority, no policy making, and no enforcement authority. Just gather the data by state and publish it quarterly. Same for the Department of Education and same for The Department of Energy. Sadly these boondoggles will probably never go away. Talk about pissing away the taxpayers money. Makes you want to scream... 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42546-i-hope-that-the-new-president-cut-the-epa-crap/#findComment-310475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
