President Donald Trump pardoned Troy Lake on Friday. The 65-year-old Wyoming diesel mechanic spent seven months in federal prison for tweaking and removing emissions systems on ailing engines. When he got the news, he wept.
Background:
In about 2007, customers started approaching Lake because their trucks had problems “brand new off the lot,”
That coincided with the EPA tightening emissions standards on heavy diesel trucks in 2004, and again in 2007.
The culprits at that time were systems in trucks that recirculated exhaust into the engine’s “breathing,” or intake air supply.
Removing or “deleting” emissions control systems wasn’t Troy Lake’s main business at that time. Not even close. He ran a successful shop with six service trucks and jobs in the gold mining industry.
“But customers of ours, quite a few of them, would buy new trucks every year and start running into those issues — and they’d ask Dad if he could fix it,” said TJ. “And we found a way.”
