It's a federal emission law that they're violating, so emission testing or not it's illegal.

Dealers may not care if you're violating the emissions laws, but the second you complain of a powertrain problem you're SOL if you're running a programmer. Apparently with Cummins, dealers are now required to document failures with photo evidence prior to warranty claims being paid.


Having said that, I'd yank it out in a second if I had another 6.7.

Yeah if I had the money for a diesel I would have one, but dang. Around here a 1998 cummins with 200k+ miles dealers and private sellers still want $10+ for a truck in decent shape. I should add that they have to report commercial vehicle that rip off emissions not private parties though. Yeah it is federal law but no one gives a d@%# here about emissions.......

Do you have the overdrive software enabled? If you do and you don't like the shift logic, I'm shocked. If not, the H&S doesn't alter the lockup, and you're going to be just as annoyed with the lockup AND you'll have a CEL.
