    Google it and read up. Their stupidity was adopted on a federal level.

    Well thanks to their stupidity, my engine now has a million different types of issues. Even if I pay $24k on rebuilding that engine, its going to break again in a matter of months.

    Is there a law that prevents switching a DD50EGR engine with a non-EGR? Because thats the only spare engine I have at this point.

    What's a DD50????

    The best way to create yourself a never ending nightmare is to have the engine altered.

    listen google is your friend. Once you start searching, what I have said would make sense. Short of getting banned no one here can help you but majority of us know how specially on the S60

    If it isnt a glider, the truck must have the engine emissions required for that year. No, it isn't legal to switch to a non-egr engine. But you gotta read between the lines on this thread. Personally, I wouldn't lose sleep worrying about the EGR police, get my drift?

    I know what people are talking about, but I don't want to do that.

    Regarding the emission year, its weird because I have the same type of truck that was built in the same year but that engine isn't an EGR (it was never altered).
