EFI Live not allowing EGR and DPF deletes in the US.

[me2]

FYI, I received an email this morning from EFI Live with this.

=============================================
In light of recent and sweeping industry changes in the USA, region specific restrictions will be implemented in future EFILive software releases. For USA based customers only, EGR and DPF related items will no longer be available for modification on supported Diesel platforms.

Legal responsibilities for Tuners in the United States of America

EFILIVE will still be pursuing tuning for the newer 6.7L engines and developing support for them. They are just making it so that if your in the US your computer will not allow you to modify those settings in the tuning software. They still sell software abroad where the deletes are needed, and fully legal.

so how will 6.7 pull trucks be able to use efi if they have deletes? will they not be able to?

an email to the right people takes care of it.

Anyone know if the EPA can go after foreign tuners selling delete files to US customers?

The cooling towers?

"There is no compelling scientific evidence for the policy decision to develop more stringent standards. The existing standards are working and will continue improving air quality," API Director of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs Howard Feldman said in a statement. "We fear this new rule may be just the beginning of a 'regulatory cliff'."
