That's good news, so you're definitely in the clear if you want (cough *should* cough) rip all that crap off

Don't be surprised if you see Ontario scrap DriveClean in the next 2-3 years (cross your fingers)... Although the previous test was a lot easier to pass compared to the new one (The curbside idle test, what a joke).. The problem with a lot of the newer ECU's (Take for example the ones found in the '09+ VWs) is that you can't simply fool the readiness monitors. Hopefully the Chrysler products don't have this issue, although I'm sure they are both using Bosch ECUs...

If that DPF goes and you're out of warranty, you're still looking at a 3K repair job at least My parents '09 Jetta TDI's DPF is cracked, is out of warranty and VW won't honour the repair (They are about 14k over).. So I'm ripping out the entire system and installing an 'offroad' race pipe. No more DPF, a tune and a solid 30+whp and 50MPG when we're done. Not to mention lower EGTs, less stress on the turbo, etc.. Sure the cost is around $1600, but it's better than the repair bill they received from Orillia VW (Which I laughed at when I saw it)... This is another reason I like the older rotary pump diesels (4BT, 6BT, ALH etc).. No DPF's, little to no emissions crap, super simple to work on, cheap to fix for the most part... I would like to see that 3.0 Eco diesel uncorked, it would probably even get better mileage (Which is crazy seeing what Doug has told me of yours already, lol!)

They are going to miss McClement on the PK.
-
The VM Motori engines in the Liberty aren't anything to write home about. EGR issues, MAP issues, etc.. All can be fixed once you rip off all the emissions stuff though for the most part.

I'm surprised Grabo and Kule didn't go to Pittsburg.
-
So if I leave the keys in my car while in the driveway, that gives someone the right to steal it and set it on fire? LOL
-
If it helps!
-
You got it.

I can't use a lefty, tried one on the weekend felt like learning to ride a bike all over again I use a righty but switch hands during the cast.
-
Find a used Calais Chris
-
Buff + sunscreen + Columbia UV shirts for the oldman. I also make him wear my Simms steelhead gloves sometimes, lol. But if it's going to be that bad outside, we'll fish another day.
-
I really hope GM doesn't use a VM Motori engine in their 1500 when Isuzu has done such a good job with the Duramax.. Stick with a source that you know makes a good engine.
-
Yup, drop it on the trailer and get out the hose. You'll find the leak soon enough.
-
We caught them from 2ft to 12ft. Mostly off the edges dropping into deeper water.
-
hahahaha! Right on!!! They really missed his tough forecheck last season, can't wait to see him back on the ice in a Leafs jersey! Nice to see Frattin back as well, I always liked watching him play.
-
I wouldn't want to pay Bolland 5.5 a year to be a 3rd line center.. No way. Sign Komarov today, that's all I want Toronto to do.
-
See ya Bolland, it was fun while it lasted! Gone to Florida. 5.5mil per yr for 5 years. Not surprised Toronto didn't sign him.
-
Boyle to the Rangers! No Toronto jersey in his future.
-
Mason Raymond to Calgary....
-
We fished from maybe 7am-12pm then that was it. No way I was staying out there in that hot and humid weather.
-
Anytime man, those chicken sandwiches were killer

Got out on opening day with the oldman, then Sunday with my buddy Doug. Slower start each morning, but once the fish turned on it was pretty much non-stop all day. Perfect weather, great company lots and lots of big fat smallies! These fish were crushing spinnerbaits, once hooked it was time to get airborn! Extremely hard fighting fish, they just didn't want to give up.

Agreed 100%. But we all knew Gleason was just a 1 year deal anyhow. Let's hope they beef up the D line this year!
-
I liked the way Gleason played, no one would block shots like he did.
