    Well now if for some reason they stop the elog crap then what are these people gonna do with their pre-99 trucks that they paid extra for?

    They're still worth the premium for the emissions benefit

    I ask my boss to start looking for one for me, then that article came out. I won't go into all the reasons I think Trump will kill it ( not the politics section ), but I don't think I will be needing that '99 now lol.

    To each their own. I have a 99 and an 86. Bought them both for emission reasons before the elogs scam. No regrets. The cab and bunk in a KW was the same for some 20 yrs or more. Just have to look past the fluff to see the truck.

    I just did that... And I don't own the truck. Just give them a time that you have to legally leave and there's nothing anyone can Legally do to you.

    I went crawling around in an ICON at the local dealer awhile ago. I was very disappointed. I can't get past those giant plastic switches they have. Lots and lots of plastic, I just thought it would be more along the classical lines.

    Never been in one. Can't square the idea of paying big money for a POS emissions truck. I suppose it had an automatic too.

    550 ISX with an 18. But the inside was just so cheap. And those GIANT rocker switches.
