Engine Year Required for California?

The OP asked "Which epa engine model is allowed in California?"

You replied "2010 and idle all you want"

Engines prior to 2010 are still allowed in California, you should know you have one.

Any truck with a clean idle sticker (meaning it meets low nox standards) can idle indefinitely. My 2008 Cascadia, with an EPA 2007 DD-15 had the sticker. That truck would still be allowed in California, I think until the end of 2023 and could idle at will. The Lawson CTA lawsuit doesn't have any effect on EPA 07 or newer, but could affect how much longer your DPF retrofit is compliant

 

I stand corrected. I was to busy focused on my application and what I need to do to be compliant. Funny thing I read all that in the site. Regardless, us here in California are getting it without the Vaseline. That alone has me all Waco for now

 

Thanks! I feel for you. If I wasn't a prisoner of the real estate market I'd be long gone. A s I understand it, a lot of you guys that did retrofits are going to be screwed because of the Lawson lawsuit.

 

So a 2007 can enter California? Or a 2006? Yes I read the information but clear to me

I think it's 07 and newer.

Don't know when that changes though

 

I’m pretty sure your good with a 07 engine with that year emissions until 2023. 2006 engine requires the retrofit DPF and is good only until 2022 according to CARB site.

 

1000 first offense by Green Police 15k on the 2nd offense. But your correct they dont check . The DOT has no jurisdiction on the laws . I seen a lady from south of the border( dont wanna be accused of being racist) driving a 2000 model freightliner from CA i scratched my head a wonder how in the H** that work. 2 days later i got my answer from a guy from Asia he explained it to me as i just did

 

My Glider has a low nox sticker on the engine valve cover . I dont think my 12.7 would be welcome
