So a hood friend of mine owns a 2008 peterbilt 389 but when he bought it 4 years ago the engine went bad and he was offered a 2007 Cummins engine. He’s retiring now and has offered me to buy the truck. Now would there be any issues regarding emissions woth the truck being set up like this?

honestly, of the engine isn’t in the truck, it is worth scrap value. -
I’m in Alberta Canada. The engine is in the truck. Has been for 4 years. Had a recent rebuild to. Got all the paperwork for it. He’s a good friend of mine and he’s retiring. He’s been running it down to South Carolina and back for the past 4 years. Well maintained truck. I was just worried it having a 2007 engine would cause problems in the states if I break down

It is normal for the engine model year to lag behind the chassis year. Lots of trucks come from factory that way.Brettj3876, singlescrewshaker and Isafarmboy Thank this. -
Are you intending to import the truck?

Highly doubtful you'll ever have an issue at a shop, but if you do, just tell them that's how they're built for Canada. They won't know any different.
