So the box and the filter needs to be changed? When it comes to emissions, I’m sure you probably know, but make sure EVERY sensor in that system is new or good. They get carbon packed or covered, don’t read right, don’t throw a sensor code, but will throw a dpf/doc code and or won’t let the filters bake right because the “calibration” system aka sensors are reading off because of the carbon.

For those of you complaining about California, tell that to the thousands of drivers trying to get loads here right now in an attempt to get at the very high paying loads that are currently LEAVING California. This state can be a real PITA, but there is money to be made here. Last week was my best in almost a year. This week is shaping up to be just as good if not better.
PE_T Thanks this. -
I'm sorry, but you guys have to be nuts to put up with that crap. I know, not everyone can drive a pre-emission truck, but you guys talk about $8,000 this, or $12,000 that, like it's peanuts. The hardest thing on a BC Cummins was turning the pump to manual. Are you really making the money to offset that, just to move on to the next multi-thousand dollar repair? It just seems foolish to me, I sure wouldn't do it. Everybody making money but you, and you guys are doing the hard work, padding these crooks pockets,,,terrible. Guess we should go into the "black box" business. Trucking with my old Pete was sure a different gig.

I would lease a new truck from Penske, and never worry about maintenance or breakdowns again.
Sell that truck for parts or whatever and be done with it.Rideandrepair and PE_T Thank this. -
Just drive someone elses, let them have the headaches while you take the grandkids to the zoo,,,

Blows my mind to that fleets can buy new trucks, run them a few years and then lose well over half to initial cost.
The biggest piece of junk pre emission Pete or KW is still worth well over the 8k these guys say your truck is worth.
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't. But I think on these cracker jack emissions trucks that may not apply. A new truck with warranty is great I'm sure but they can still breakdown and spend countless hours in the shop while you aren't earning.Speed_Drums, Rideandrepair and PE_T Thank this. -
