    Looking to get a new truck and I am unclear how bad the filters messed things up on the new models ..

    Looking to get a 2009 to be carb compliant; however, I don't know which brand has the most problems. I would be hauling intermodal containers from California and back to Phoenix (750 miles each trip).

    Would anyone be able to tell me whats the configuration to stay away from ... now, I have a 07 volvo .. would it be worth it adding the filter to it?

    Don't buy a "08-09" anything... They all suck some worse than others.

    You gotta go with a def truck ....

    would it be worth it to retrofit the 07?
