mackey58 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 A guy was telling me that by 2020, the old engines cannot be used in commercial operations anymore. Is that true so the old Mack mechanical and others won't be roadworthy?

tjc transport Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Already that way in commifornia. I believe the current rule is 2000 and newer, or must be re-powered to 2000 and newer. A friend had to leave commifornia because they would not let him re-register his 99 without re-powering it.

Timmyb Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 So what percentage of working truck would be affected by this? I mean surely no great saving of emissions will come come of this.

6v71 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I think they already outlawed the 2 stroke Detroit. Saw a nice medium duty dump on E-bay last year with a 6v-53. Guy said he couldn't register it in CA any more thanks to emission laws. Wouldn't live in that crap state if they paid me to. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47800-old-engines-and-emissions-law/#findComment-353230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m16ty Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I don't think there is anything Federally in the works that would ban older trucks in all states. CA is another story. As of now, stay out of CA and you should be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47800-old-engines-and-emissions-law/#findComment-353237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Black Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I knew this day would come. Will have to check out what the story is for the future down here in AU. Without trying to take over the thread, anyone had any experience squeezing a decent modern engine into a R600 and if so what?

upsman Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 You can run any engine you want in California as long as it has a dpf on it. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47800-old-engines-and-emissions-law/#findComment-353269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
