DPF Emulator, Legal in U.S.?

[GeoHorn]

I have always enjoyed Neal Messicks’ videos and especially thought well of his presentations because they predominately give good solid info.
I also believe that purchasing genuine Kubota filters are provender and haven’t seen a huge price savings on using other brands anyway.
But in the video posted above (Thank You Skeets) has piqued my ire a bit because I detect some Bovine Fecal Matter in his statement “ in our shop...we have seen tens of thousands of dollars in Blown Engines” from using a NAPA cross-referenced filter.

I can see a case of clogged injectors or failure to run properly and such but really... a “Blown” engine from dirty fuel? ... that cost “tens of thousands of dollars?”....

I’m calling BS on that until they can give names/dates and copies of invoices and/or denied warranties specifically in such instances

Here's the thing, emissions seem like they are 20 years behind, reliability and efficiency wise. Many frustrating stories of how they impact diesel engines. I'm referring mostly to trucking and farmers, they are the largest test beds for longevity. All the advances in efficiency were knocked back years when they introduced half-baked emissions as mandates. What fails all the time? It's not the engine. It's no wonder tools show up to remove the problem.

I'm thinking there's no DPF on choochoo engines ?

It’s government overreach at its Finest. If they are going to force this crap on we the people they need to pay us for every hour we’re broke down!

it is based on the manufacture date of the engine in question. Many of the old EMD's are being repaired and put back into service for this very reason. They were dirty old leakers but strong. My dad retired from the UP, machinest, did a lot of the power assembly repairs, swapouts, and in the last few years did nothing but turbocharger work for the EMD stuff. 645's mostly.

The Kubota DPF Emulator only mentions vehicles. No mention if it would work on a Kubota Tractor.

The B.S. I was calling was in reference to his claim that the use of a NAPA filter was the cause of ”tens of thousands of dollars” of blown engines. His statement was that a NAPA “cross referenced” filter was the cause…. Perhaps he meant that an IMPROPERly referenced filter was used…. (such as an oil filter used in the fuel system instead of a fuel filter)…. But in any case, I don’t believe a correct NAPA filter (NAPA filters are made by WIX and are high quality) would be the cause of “tens of thousands of dollars” in blown engines.

The 19 M6060 I bought about a month ago has a DPF and has regened one time, it took about 10 minutes. If the system starts giving problems I'll look at removing it.

You just can't remove the DPF filter, you also have to 'fool the computer'...

I find it interesting that this months old dormant thread was revived.

That happens when someone posts an irrelevant response to an old thread.
