I've had basically free flowing cats on few of my vehicles. As long as the 02 sensors read within spec you don't get a CEL. You can fool any sensor if you want. It's all about sensors.

Rod Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 Diesels have emissions controls issues. Gas engines seldom ever do. But that’s a problem made by the EPA not the engines themselves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did just recently have to replace fuel vapor canister but other than that no emission issues ever with that truck. Exactly. There is no fucking away to even consider an EV at 20 years still in service. I had to replace the canister in the F150, there was only one other issue with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like 1/2 the range of a 6.2 gasser, it took an extra hour to charge and they didn’t go to the actual intended destination as they turned around and went home. The ev truck will be fine for driving around town 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My statement was they don't have pollution control issues like ICE do. You are lumping me in with the greenies and I'm nothing of the sort and have said many times if you take money away from climate control it will become a thing of the past. That's the problem with people like you. Someone questions you and you become unhinged and easily ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
