I just heard that several dozen Dpf / scr systems were stolen in eastern VA in the last week. A mack dealer in Richmond got cats and wheels stolen off of like 37 trucks, with other thefts in Petersburg, colonial heights, and a huge pile in the seven cities.

Well...you have to have wheels but it seems reasonable to stop the use of DPF and SCR systems immediately. :cool:

Pretty sure they are insulted but just how long does it take to remove one of those and I thought most dealers have camera security on their lots
Sounds fishy! Smells like bad exhaust to me

Apparently the fella stopped just off camera but they could see him take plates off if his truck. Then he ran it through the fence. All second hand info at this point, but there's access in and out of these places from all sides.acres of industrial complexes. Im sure they'll catch him/them, but it hasn't happened yet.
