New CARB Requirement

Don't give them any ideas. They may well think it's necessary. Worse than cattle farts even

 

I've yet to have seen a CARB enforcement of any kind in California, but I have seen lots of trucks that are well over 10 years old.

 

I see them very often. Last time I saw they were checking trucks in Sun Valley, CA on Glenoaks Ave. These MFs don't touch out of state trucks usually. They stop and write on CA plated trucks..

 

I stopped in Indianapolis Freightliner and asked how much are Reman DPFs for DD15. They gave my quote and asked to bring the old ones. I drove home took out DPFs and went to Los Angeles Freightliner to buy Reman DPfs. I was shocked whem the salesmen told me that OEM Reman DPFs are illegal in California. They showed me CARB Executive order # blablabla showing that... If God would exist CARB kind of #### would not exist in this world.

 

Wanna reduce emission. Feed cows with dry sea weed.

 

I don't know about cows but septic tank trucks must be equipped with some kind of breather valve/filters in Cali. That device is about $15k..

 

I've had guys tell me they get them baked for $200.
There's lots of places now that just do DPF service.

 

I know . If you do bake and blow 30% of ash stays inside. Remans are 95% clean and they are $400 exchange. Remans go longer. Clamps are expensive too and need to be replaced every time you take off DPFs..
