Alex has great content and this video does a really good job breaking all of this down very simply.
He also gives Tim a shout out.

I just watched the clip… it was a good concise video of the situation. I do best when someone dumbs it down..lol.
I’m not sure if some will believe what he says but what can you do?

Thanks for sharing. I made sure to subscribe and leave a comment.
BTW, Karen Bailey-Chapman from SEMA put out this update on LinkedIn. I'll include it here:
There's some misinformation going around online amongst our aftermarket community related to the Trump Administration's actions on emissions rules and laws. Things like, "Trump is shuttering the EPA" (false) and that "the EPA won't be enforcing against illegal use of emissions defeat devices" (also false). To learn more about what is and isn't legal when it comes to emissions laws and rules, click here:

The link takes you to a PDF.
This is a relevant section:
WE CAN USE DEFEAT DEVICES AGAIN.
Absolutely false. The law is still the law and the law is clear: street vehicles must still beemissions compliant. Diesel defeat devices remain illegal under section 203(a)(3) the Clean Air Act and 40 C.F.R. §§ 1068.101(b) – this has not changed. The EPA continues to enforce againstbusinesses that manufacture, offer for sale, sell, or install any parts or component that bypassor defeat emissions controls. After President Trump’s initial wave of executive orders, U.S.Attorney General Pam Bondi followed up with a memo in which she reaffirms that theDepartment of Justice will evenhandedly enforce all federal civil and criminal laws, includingenvironmental laws.Simply put, any production, sale, distribution, or use of aftermarket products that take a streetuse motor vehicle out of compliance with federal emissions standards could still face action byEPA and the Department of Justice.And for those who actively share these illegal activities online or on social media channels, don’tbe surprised if you are the first to be enforced against – whether it is the Trump Administration orfuture administrations. If you act in this manner, you will open yourself up to significant legalrepercussions.
Also skimmed the comments. Only one comment directed at me with "well we know who Tim voted for."
I do a similar video and I get all sorts of political comments. Maybe I should start doing videos from Canada. LOL

It's good info and a good video explaining what is already known. I find it sad that we need videos to explain what did not happen so much now. Lots of crap gets slung out there, and I find it scary that people take rumors from forums and other sites as fact. It doesn't help when tiny sites calling themselves "news reporters" make shit up and post it out there.
By the way, did you hear Homeland Security is heading to Nebraska? Something about Canadian spies pushing the metric system and an excessive use of maple syrup. I don't know but it must be true, I read it on the internet.

So, I did a video yesterday on the new Cummins B6.7 Octane gas engine. It is for medium duty trucks and we don’t really do much coverage for that segment. I’ve tried a handful of times.
Why bring this up? One of the comments this morning stated, “now that deleted diesels are legal, Cummins should tear all that crap off and ship it.”
Ugh.

So basically its all talk on the Trump administrations part and they are a bunch of blowhards.
Actually I think it is more of the "people heard what they wanted to hear." Not once did EPA Admin Zelden say he was going to rollback diesel emissions on that day.
