Over the last century, the Land of the Free has slowly transformed into a land governed by endless laws, largely by cracking down on vices instead of actual crimes, creating a society that would render us all criminals if our behavior were constantly observed. Meanwhile, the state has steadily expanded its use of mass surveillance, largely under the pretext of fighting “terror.”
This is a toxic mixture.
Rural Canadian here. We get everything mandated in the USA because it’s not worth making Canadian models. Then we have to disable it.
This would be the absolute first thing to go on any vehicle purchased. We do DEF/DPF/SCR delete, traction control/stabilitrak delete just to make sure our vehicles are reliable and perform as expected in Arctic conditions.
Note that EGR delete isn’t on the list as EGR actually improves cruise efficiency while cutting emissions… And PCV delete is idiotic, I’ve added PCV to old vehicles that didn’t have it. It’s not like we just hate the environment or something.
The last thing we want is a system that could intentionally make the truck eat shit while we’re smashing snowdrifts with the bumper and trying to get home in a storm. It could literally kill us
