    I think the original motor was made in 1999. It now has a 1997 N14 Cummins in it now.

    ELD's use the same SAE data port a technician uses to access error codes for other purposes. Different locations on different trucks.

    I have a 2000 t600 with a factory installed BK60 12.7 Detroit. The motor is amazing. Had it on the dyno at Pittsburgh Power and put 604hp and 2008ft/lbs of torque to the ground. It nets me 7.5-8.5 us mpgs. I'm looking at buying a 2011 t800 that already has a 1994 epa 12.7 Detroit in it. I would definitely swap my BK60 into the t800 but am wondering if it is legal to do so and will I still be exempt from elogs? Please help

    I believe only if the tractor was built originally as a Glider Kit. If so yes still exempt but why don't you want a box telling you when you have 30 minutes of drive time left? What are you cheating? You have 15 minutes of drive time left better fill that DEF tank quick! :biggrin:

    Legal for ELD, not legal for EPA

    Get the engine serial number, go to a Detroit dealer, get a printout with engine specs and build date

    Does eld work with ddec 3? I was looking at a 1995 FLD, but I wasn't sure.

    It would be nice to be exempt and also have the option to use eld if the carrier requires it.

    Yes. Mine is a 1996 DDEC 3 in Pete Glider and it worked without any issues.
