However a case like yours is not so clear. My opinion on this for those with mechanical engines is they should not be forced to buy a newer truck. However if there is a practical and economically feasible solution such as satellite tracking, then they shouldn't be exempt. By economically feasible i mean, say it would cost a couple grand, that's nothing in the grand scheme of things, less than a set of tires. But if the cost would be more like 6 or 7k, that's getting close to what i would call an impractical option.Last edited: Aug 4, 2017

So here's it is called around.
06r041. Was built on the date March 15 1998.Riprap Thanks this. -
The key term here is "model year of the engine". Not the date it was built, rebuilt, or remanufactured. And many trucks come from the manufacturer new with an engine installed of one model year and the chassis is another
The reason is engines are emission regulated by calendar year, truck chassis can be model dated up to 18 months forward of the actual assembly date. That is why you have seen 2018 trucks on the lot for several months here in 2017. -

So to keep this very simple- According to this fmcsa rule, the DOT are going to use these model year stickers that I circled below, not the actual mfg date, correct?bbechtel16, bollan2003 and whoopNride Thank this. -
