Good, I would hate to delete your post. The forum admin has asked that we crack down on 'replacement' foul language, so we are now being asked to address it. 90% of the time, I edit silently. If I see a repeated pattern, then I edit with a note to the poster.
Anything, here, rated over 10k gvwr requires yearly inspections. Doesn’t matter the use or the registered gvwr. It matters what the stamped rating is. It’s bs. I’d like a 3rd gen with a 12v but not sure how that would work. I know a guy that wouldn’t care but for how long wouldn’t he care lol
GDE did not break the law. He used the same legal loophole that every manufacturer has used for decades. The EPA did not charge him for breaking the law, they asked that he fix the problem.
He had a choice to find a solution that would meet the EPA's request; however, he didn't have a choice about securing the customers information. The EPA secured all that on day one of their visit.
Again, you are stating false information that you know nothing about. The government changed the law on January 1, 2017. He was only penalized for the off-road tunes that he sold in the state of California before January 1, 2017. GDE stopped selling to California customers on January 1st, 2017, per the law. He was not charged for breaking the law. He was given penalties for a legal loophole. The court documents clearly says, "GDE denies any liability arising thereunder."
I wanna see something stating he was required to hand over his customers info or he would be arrested, otherwise he violated his customers privacy for his own personal gain. Regardless of tune legality.
I've always been a 'silent moderator', but things changed with the new forum format. Super Moderators pretty much have full power.
Wait a minute. So if I do something illegal, then deny liability for it, I'm off the hook?
The government can come into your home or business (unannounced) and secure all your documents, computers, and records with a court order. It happens all the time in America.
Remember, the law changed on January 1, 2017. They made the law retroactive. He didn't break the law after January 1, 2017, but they penalized him for all the off-road tunes he sold prior to that date. Naturally, he denied being liable for selling an off-tune to customers who agreed they were buying the tune for 'off-road purposes only".
Doing some thinking. An 03 3500 would require no more emissions than a 12v I wouldn’t think. It should pass same visual inspections as not required to have any ever, dpf or cat.
Correct. Show me the court order stating he had to hand them over or face criminal charges. I’ve asked 3 times. You’ve seen them you said. I don’t want to see a paper that says he agreed to find a solution. Because that means he violated his customers privacy. If he did, he’s liable for being sued from them.
I've haven't seen the court order. I saw the EPA report when they made their unannounced visit to GDE and the preceding thereafter. The EPA detailed every moment, the mood, the atmosphere, the layout of the building, the number of employees, computers, files, software, equipment, etc. The EPA documented what they asked for, why they asked for it, etc. I'm not sure where to find those court proceedings or I would extract those for you.
Doesn't sound all that legal, or FCA probably wouldn't have got fined.
Do you really think the EPA cares if something is legal or not??? They have nobody holding them back and have as much power as a game warden in hunting season. It's not a matter of "is this legal" with them. its "can we do this"
So now you have the ability to go to any topic, year, classifieds, PM's, Vendors, private information, sponsors, be the police and change, edit and keep things in order??? How'd you end up with that gig? Must keep you occupied surfing CF trying to keep things on track and everyone on their best behavior.
😂
