If you had the opportunity... Would you sell?
 

I'm wondering if I will sell my 2002 CTD. The information on the new 2011 is coming out slowly and with the full SCR system and the pending Tier 3 (2013) full conversions required I'm wondering if that makes sense?

Financially it doesn't right now but those new crew cabs are nice looking although I have still not seen one up close.

Any ideas?

I don't think I will ever buy another New Diesel Truck. With all the emisssion crap they put on them no thanks.

Yeah, but the Tier 3 is a requirement for everything to change - regardless of age.

it will sit in the garage and stay there til they realize that crap is not helping nothing

If any 04 or older trucks are still held up by 2013, it wouldn't even be worth converting them.

Perhaps but a new truck will be $60K + by then and an older one will cost around $9K to upgrade.

Wait!....what? Tier 3 nonsense is going to affect lil ol me? My hell they've gone too far with this crap. I will absolutly obey their commands. Hahaha yeah right. What exactly is this crap? Who and where are they victims?

My point exactly. Run the risk of getting caught or just get a new one and bombs away?

I aint wasting the time, i highly doubt they retro act it that far back, shoot, when cat conveters came out they didnt make vehicles that didnt have them from the factory put them on, they just made it illegal to take one off. and around here we have no emissions testing, too big of a farming area to worry bout that.

The way I understand it, we will be required to do so to get insurance. Those idiot law makers are having the OTR guys do it now - or so I'm led to believe. More controls, less polution but worse economy - doesn't equal more fuel? I don't get that to be honest.

Oh well. It is what it is.
