They did away with emissions testing in our county several years ago but who knows if/when they might bring it back... Probably depends on upcoming elections.

Pretty sure deleted I could not trade this one in to a dealer but selling private is fine - for now...? No shops left around here that will do deletes so I'm pretty sure I'll have to DIY if I do it. The one I was hoping to go to got raided by the EPA a few years back and almost went out of business. I believe they actually relocated to another county to stay under the radar so maybe they are back to doing 'performance' in addition to repair work.

Yeah I have no plans to be 'that guy' rollin coal with an 8" tailpipe.... I actually kind of like the clean tail pipe and no diesel smell. I have never really felt short on power and have no interest in blowing my trans or anything else in the powertrain so no big tunes needed.

Really just weighing the pros and cons as I need to get this thing back on the road.

Big shout out to my best buddy Dan and his Duramax. Cancelled his weekend plans, got off work Friday at 5, drove 6.5 hours to us. Had a beer, hit the rack. We were on the road at 6am, him dragging my trailer and following me the whole way - made it just fine aside from some really slow hills... He did 675 miles in 19 hours.
