    As far as i remember its always been that way .
    Powered glider comes from factory with pre emissions engine of your choice installed but no trans or diffs.


    Rolling gliders come with diffs but no trans or engine.

    This is how it works in canada .

    Right now you can get a glider with the motor but no trans or rears from Freightliner, Western Star, Kenworth and Peterbilt. Heck it even says so on the fitz web site. That is how I found out about Pete and KW. Always knew about WS and Freightliner.

    It says on the website they will put in a reman engine at their facility.

    I'm talking about the factory, (Kenworth for example),putting in a preemission motor at their factory in a glider.

    I don't think that's an option. At least it wasn't mentioned when I spec'd one a while back.

    I might have interpreted that wrong. I do know that Freightliner and Western Star do put a pre emissions motor in gliders.
