"Rolling coal"
Won't happen. They'd have to rewrite at least 3 laws and go back to inspecting diesels for a cop to enforce it.
"Rolling coal"

You don't have to be that nice. I would have called them @$$hole$.idiots...
I don't know why I'm always surprised at the ignorance of legislators. You can tell from the wording that they have absolutely no idea what's going on in the auto world or what creates smoke. They actually think stacks store up smoke so the driver can spew it out at will.![]()
Their ignorance will work in our favor because there's no way cops can enforce this law. Older truck would have to be grandfathered in w/ no way to prove that a modification didn't exist before the law took effect. The main thing is they'd have to prove that you've modified the truck in some way. Outside the obvious stacks, how would they know if someone changed injectors, turbos or chips?
Also, the only emissions law cops can write for says a car has to have a noisy AND smokey exhaust. That's why cops can't write a ticket for a state violation for cars w/ loud fart can exhausts. Local ordinances may be another story, but there's also no way to test how much louder it is than stock. Plus there's no diesel emissions inspection for trucks so cops can't write a ticket for altering after inspection, which was the catch all for many violations (tinted windows).

Still find it very odd that its illegal to pump your own gas in NJ.
since we sell fuel/have pumps..nobody ever says a peep to me.. I've ALWAYS pumped my own gas since getting my license.. in all my vehicles..

tho it is often a moot point anyway, as I often just fuel up at the marina/work since we sell fuel/have pumps..
as slow as the pumps run nowadays it'll take you 45 min to fill up 
I got threatened they would call the cops the first time i drove into oregon or somewhere with attendants.
Dude, i'm from CA. I'm sorry. You can wash my windshield, and we'll call it even.![]()
that's exactly what happens...
running 1.5" thru the 2" complete die is a fail pretty much... first you could NEVER due a multibend piece...
you also have to space up the following block to keep it in line with the die.. it has crazy springback, to the point that it's difficult to get the next "notch" in..
doesn't seem to hurt the die/block tho..
I did get one fully bent 90.. it flattens it out and deforms it too much for my taste...
the pic actually looks better than it looks in person to me...
I don't think jerking around trying to make it work is worth bothering.. i'll just nut up and get the proper setup ASAP.. just not in the cards for at least a couple weeks probably...

Probably better that way since most marinas are still ethanol free.
its a good bill in my book.... I frickin LOVE diesel and want one myself but doing the whole rollin coal thing with that huge black cloud is completely unnecessary and really destroys public opinion about a good thing....
about the equivalent of the morons that walk around town with an AK47 or AR strapped to their back because they can....
Im sure its hard to avoid when cranking up a diesel, but with instant programmers and such today itd be real easy to hit a button and detune it to drive across town. no reason for 1200hp to drive to work.
sorry ... rant off..
truck is awesome still and yes a diesel would be sweet..... take a book with you when you go to fill up that 72 gallon tankas slow as the pumps run nowadays it'll take you 45 min to fill up

Paul,
Pro-Tools just posted up a Christmas special on FaceBook. Buy one die, get one free.....
Not sure if they will just sell you a single die for 50% off, but it might be worth calling.
Just trying to save you a few bucks, bud.
