DPF on older truck??

E="daf105paccar, post: 4719572, member: 84272"]Who knows,that smaller dealer might care more about his clients and have invested the time and money to go to the classes the brands want them to follow to keep up to date with modern times.
There is a thread on TTR by a warranty manager.
In it there is a story about how a dealer wanted the trucker to pay the work and parts for a repair done on a truck under warranty and then,according to that dealer,the trucker had to reclaim that money from Paccar,which is complete BS.
Would i trust that dealer to work on a'12..................NO.
But would i trust him to work on a '99,full mechanical engine......................?
NO WAY!!!!!!!
Because that dealer is just out there to get the $$$$$ from truckers.[/QUOTE]


I don't trust the stealership to touch anything, and wish I could find a 1999 that was full mechanical

 

Easy, they want us to drive for a big company. You know how much grant money they gave to huge out of state companies like fed ex or ups I forgot. Those companies had hundreds of new trucks bought for them.I among a bunch of owner ops in my circle who couldn't qualify for anything. .

 

Camelclutch, cannot agree with with your statements above.
If you followed CARB from the early days, then you would have known about several programs that were in place just for O/O.
So to say they only gave money to big fleets is distorthing the facts.

 

Your right, I was first told by carb that 2014 I could get a filter for my truck.I was also told this by the emissions experts in Corona. THEN after that was told I could retrofit BUTT I wouldn't be compliant, my truck is too old.After the run around was told that I could apply for some grants.I went to the dealer and was told I would have qualified if my truck was two years away from the deadline. IF I was a multiple truck owner with one newer truck Then I would be able to trade one of my trucks in.By the way they mark up a truck 35 k then you get the Grant for the same amount. Wheee

 

Also, was told that with my truck being a mechanical engine I would be granted an extension till 2018 , then they changed all that again. Im working on the 20000 mile work truck deal , giving me till this December. All year I've been working with guys like me, others who have upgraded and a bunch of renegade prix who are buying up all the old trucks and running them. We're ALL having to compete for rates lower than 10 years ago

 

Safety ?, all day long I see cops driving around on duty texting and making personal calls.Last week saw a pig turn on his lights to bypass a traffic jam and get to burrito shop, cutting off oncomming traffic, putting the public in danger, to then get out of the cruiser , leaving it running for close to 45 minutes while he and his partner ate and joked inside the restaurant. $aftey first right? Only if you make the rules can you burn money , then ring out all the working folks for some more money every day.Ok... sorry ,off topic rant, no more coffee for me
