If thats the case - I hate to say it - but I will probably go back to gas.

For me, if the ecomomy isnt there - theres not much sense having a diesel.

Oh well. It is what it is.
maybe in canada, my dads an owner operator, runs a 2000 Kenworth with a cummins, it aint on there, hes not heard anything about and he switch insurances to progressive in june and they didnt require anything he said, just has to meet the laws that were in place during the yr the truck was made to be ceritified by DOT

I'm not sure were you're getting this info. but as far as I know you're truck only has to meet the emmision requirements for the year it was made. Tractor trailers and other commerical trucks may be a different story. We are putting ARB #'s on are TCU's at work but that is only for California emmisions and I highly doubt that anybody checks those. It's all a $$$ gimmick.

I'm getting this info first hand from a friend who got letters regarding the pete and his hoe. His other 2 hoes, dozer and 2 graders do not "meet the emissions requirement". The "mark of the beast" numbers are "voluntary" as of yet. The only out for the 08 in the pete is it qualifies as a "historical" vehicle but he couldn't use it for what he needs it for. All the guvment is doing is taking the folks that keep this country rolling and making it nearly impossible to live without the guvment.....gee wonder why that is? Hmmm
