If it is illegal to alter the emissions trucks, then how is it legal to purchase a glider kit that doesn't have any of the new emissions?

thats what i was kinda thinking about with the glider kits as well.

to be honest i'm just not sure. and the diesel gate was just differnt. that was a group of cars at once. not just one.

yes. but my dirty old cat gets that that test every year for NY state and i'm told every time at idle its just as clean as a new truck. and i've seen the print out. going in a few weeks i'll get the results.

kind of. the normal route.. 0 that i can think of. NJ on 78 they do and on 287 they do. i've seen them put the sniffer in and when you drive by they have the raised sensors while driving though to roll though scales. but you brought up a good point. if it was there when you bought it i don't know about it
