At issue here is that most of the "Coal Rollers" in newer model pickups have deleted their diesel particulate filters. This modification greatly increases the particulate and black carbon smoke seen when they hit the acceleration pedal. I am not a born again tree hugger but it irritates me to see this behavior as our grandchildren are going to have to live in this brave new world some are intent on destroying. I have taken a new approach to such behavior. Since removing of particulate filters can carry up to a $10K fine, I have started calling 911 and reporting vehicles with obvious deleted filters and their tag numbers. Not sure if the police or any other agency actually looks into this but I feel that at least I am trying to be a responsible citizen.
