can't sell it as compliant

Diesel Dave might know the answer cause he has a retrofit.

 

SO I don't see the issue, if it isn't compliant, then you can't make the claim it is.

 

Of course, you could always sell your non-compliant truck, and sell a dpf that makes it compliant, couldn't you?

 

The issue is he spent $15,000 for Dpf to run the truck in cali and now carb says its only compliant if he owns it.

 

Carb has accepted it as compliant as long as he owns it. It was set up that way to help drivers still their own older truck and run, but not to upgrade it and then sell to another party.

 

Haven't heard of this -- but how well did the retrofit work for you? Would you do it again?

 

Yeah and he can sell outside the borders of California - problem solved.

 

You were given a exemption,not the truck.

 

How is it an exemption. When he obeyed the rules?

My understanding of the rules is california wants dpf trucks in their state. And that's what he has. Exemption would be for him to run WITHOUT a dpf. Such as the 1,000 and 5,000 mile rule California has.
