hey how about some info on trucks specs, for cali. heard u had to have def & also that drivers with only 1 or 2 tks were excempt...i have 07 columbia c13 acert ....

 

Call or GOOGLE carb<California Air Resources Board

I would have a hard time believing than an '07 would not be compliant this early in the game.

 

from my understanding an 07 is only good for the rest of this year and all of next year and that came from a sales guy's mouth. as they didn't start putting the dpf filters in the 07's. yes some 07's have been retro fitted with em but not all. and from my understanding to have the truck retrofitted with a dpf filter can run 10-15 grand depending on the engine. so why not just spend a few bucks more and just get an 08 truck and the trucks with the dpf filters installed are good till 2023!! and the trucks with the def are the last engine phase well atleaste till they change there minds agin.

he would have to have that 07 retrofitted with a DPF filter if it's not already. at 10-15 grand extra depending on the engine it's just not worth the headache or expence id'e just go buy an 08 with the filter in it. but he needs to call carbs diesel hotline cause as he said that drivers with one or two trucks were excempt after talking to the dealer that story seems to be changing to. commieforina is broke they will do anything for money!!

 

thanks for all the input this is a great place ...i never stop learning when i do i'll just go home and fish

 

The earliest an 07(non-DPF)has to be retro-fitted is 1/1/15.

 

my solution is to just stay out of that sorry excuse for a state

 

Arn't some of the other states becomming like commieforina with there stupid emmisions crap. Someone was telling me some of the new england states were. And didn't the port in jersey come up with some stupid law like the port of los angeles

 

Maybe a port or two is into this stuff, but there are no other states than CA that are getting this ridiculous. True, some NE states have check exhaust opacity and other stuff, but that is only measuring that the emissions is meeting the year of the engine manufacture.

One thing regarding CA, it is a moving target. They keep changing deadlines and such and can't seem to finalize most of the rules. They have changed deadlines so many times, that there is a possibility they will change them again. Gov Jerry Brown has finally admitted that they are essentially broke, so budgets for enforcement may not be good enough to have strict enforcement anyway. Enforcement will be random and sporadic at best. At least outside the ports, which have their own thing going on.

I side with Fredog, I just stay out of there. I saved $40,000 on a brand new FL glider truck with pre-emission engine compared to one of the emission laden trucks. It would take one heck of a lot of excellent paying freight in and out of CA to justify paying more for all the emission junk and the increased maintenance costs associated with it. Not worth it to me.
