Diesel Day Dreams (the facility) is a service shop that works primarily on Ford, Chevy, and Dodge diesel vehicles and occasionally gas vehicles. According to Eugene Miller, the facility's service manager, the facility works primarily on ball joints, u-joints, injectors, and engine and transmission work. The facility installs parts from Blackwater Engines, DFC Diesel Engines, and Allison Transmission, which appear to be original equipment (OE) replacement remanufacturers of vehicle engines and transmissions. The shop installs original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components onto diesel vehicles and the facility is supplied by AutoZone and local dealerships. Mr. Miller provided EPA Inspectors a copy of the facility's vendor list during the inspection.
Notes (e.g. compliance actions taken by facility, purchased samples, other
relevant background, etc.):
The facility does not use an intake form or vehicle inspection form that would note whether emissions components have been removed prior to working on vehicles, however Mr. Miller said that they do not remove emissions controls. According to Mr. Miller, if a customer requests service on a deleted or tampered vehicle and the service would require deleted or tampered components to be removed or modified during servicing, the facility will only provide such services if the customer also pays to have the vehicle returned to compliance. In such cases, the facility will provide the customer a quote which includes the price of returning the vehicle to compliance. If the customer does not agree to the services necessary to return the vehicle to compliance, the facility will not provide services that would require work on or involving deleted or tampered emissions components. Vehicles are entered to the facility with a customer request form that is verified or changed after inspection by mechanics at the facility.
While onsite, Mr. Miller noted that approximately 5 years ago facility activities included building race vehicles and research and development of performance parts. Mr. Miller discussed with the EPA Inspectors that more recently the facility has not

conducted in performance development, racing, or acts that could be considered emissions tampering.
During the onsite inspection, EPA inspectors noted multiple vehicles (see Appendix A, Photo Log) that did not have emissions control equipment installed. Mr. Miller provided the work orders showing that the facility was not repairing or engaging in work that might affect the emissions control equipment at the time of inspection. Mr. Miller stated the facility would only return the vehicle to the original factory emissions controls or the facility would otherwise turn the repairs away if deleted emissions components would need to be handled, modified or adjusted in any way. This appears to be in line with EPA's "reasonable basis" policies that their conduct does not adversely affect emissions and that no tampering is occurring as described in EPA's Tampering Policy.
Parts maintained at the facility in storage all appeared to be either EPA approved, CARB EO approved, or determined that there is a "reasonable basis" that the parts would not adversely affect vehicle emissions. EPA inspectors observed many EGR coolers in the facility's storage area. Mr. Miller stated these parts are bought or collected for use at the facility and are useful to keep on-site due to long lead-times for part purchasing.
Areas of Concern: Numerous vehicles had emissions controls removed (see Appendix A, Photo Log), however Mr. Miller provided information showing that emissions controls were not removed by the facility at the time of inspection. Therefore, no areas of concerns are being relayed to the facility in this inspection report.
