> I wonder if the computers are smart enough to prevent running if the DPF and > EGR are removed Yes. I don't know about MB, but I know someone who had a shop "tune" a BMW diesel (for off road use, wink, wink) and they eliminated ALL the emissions control crap. Obviously, this in not in EPA compliance, and could result in fines, etc. if the vehicle is driven on the road. I would suspect there are shops the can tune a Mercedes as well.

I wonder if the computers are smart enough to prevent running if the DPF and EGR are removed. Of course you would not be able to pass emissions testing if your state does that, not to mention risking a large fine. There's apparently a small contingent of owner/operators who are restoring and working 80's and 90's vintage semi trucks to avoid the maintenance headaches of the modern engines and emissions gear. For certain loads, they can charge enough to offset the lower fuel economy. From what I understand they can't be driven in California though.

Wow. Andrew, perhaps you should consider not selling your 300TD. No way I’m buying any bluetec junk after reading this. Bottom line is that there is always a hidden downside to the utopia of clean burning vehicles or “zero emission” vehicles such as electric cars.

Thanks for posting that, I think. Pretty much convinces me to never buy a used Blutec or at least not one with very many miles on it.
