What's with these new laws in CA? I don't quite understand...
If I infer correctly, any trucks over 14,000lbs GVWR need to have a DPF?
BTW, this ain't bad enough. The EPA is working on regulations for the future that will force anyone who does an engine swap, rebuilds their engine, or replaces it with a stock replacement to meet stricter emissions regulations, so far it doesn't seem to me that it will be 2014 but it's own sort of set of regulations. They are working on developing a so-called "drop-on" system. This DOES apply to the old diesels, regardless of GVWR IF it goes into effect - I don't see it in the next two or three years, but knowing politics it's only a matter of time the way things are going IMO. The downside is - it's expensive. They propose the system will cost $4,000, and adds electronic injection, DEF, and DPF. How they plan to pull that off, IDK. They are definately experimenting with it, and IMO they just want all the old stuff off of the roads - and they're gonna try to find some way or another to knock them off of the road.
Whadya all think?
