    I remember the news that Cali wanted all electric vehicles on the showroom floors by 2015. Don't look like that panned out.

    I want to know where one can by a 30 hp electric motor to load and unload tankers. I"m looking for other options over installing a transmission driven pump. I really don't want to spend $5g for a massport vacpump plus labor and other parts. Then decide to take the truck elsewhere pulling some other type of tanker. I kinda want to be universal.

    How's that MX working out for you?

    Seeing a lot of those for sale these days. Of course. Cheap prices though.

    So where's it say that mechanics and shops working on deleted trucks are getting fined? Sounds like a bunch of BS to me. I change a brake chamber on a deleted truck and can get fined? #### off.

    What I am going to say is not political, it's just fact.

    All of this stuff was begun by an Administration who somehow had the idea that the United States had to lead the way as far as reducing pollution and emissions and all of this nonsense and all of this got thrown onto the manufacturers so rapidly they couldn't even produce a good product.

    All of it is completely ridiculous. I 100% agree with the posts that spoke about what are the byproducts and the pollution that is caused by putting these moronic systems on the trucks themselves? It would be infinitely better to have the engineers concentrate on making trucks with better fuel mileage than creating ones that are fire hazards.

    There are countries in the world that pollute so heavily, that even if the United States decided to be 100% Green tomorrow it would make a minuscule difference. The idea of doing all of this especially so rapidly, is one of the stupidest in the history of mankind.

    The government should approach the deletes the same way that they approach pot (no not in this industry).

    It's not exactly legal, but they turn their head to it because it was something also that was begun stupidly and for the wrong reasons and just really did not work.

    Thank God for the big cam Cummins. Simple and dependable without all that crap.

    The president just had a thing saying that California's power to set fuel standards can and will not over step the federal guideline.
     
    D.Tibbitt and Oxbow Thank this.

    Mileage standards should be a federal thing and as far as I know they always have been.

    I just don't get how California did the whole carb thing.

    To me all of that just seems like California decided to pass a law that affects Interstate Trucking and trucking companies in other states that do business with California.

    They are like a communist country over there.

    Want the most reliable DPf def system? All we have to do is make the government pay for the repairs on the systems mandated by the EPA or California.

    Real quick you would see some of the best systems being produced.
