    Be cheaper to buy an old truck

    The cheapest solution is to put an e log in what you got. It's apparent already those words are falling on deaf ears

    You will spend more on the swap then just buying a 1999 volvo with a S60 Detriot. But it can be done. Not sure about it being legal.

    It isn't legal.
    You can only legally upgrade in emissions never downgrade.

    Because gliders aren't trucks.
    A glider is a replacement cab and chassis.
    The driveline comes out off a existing truck.
    I'm shure others can explain it better.

    I don't know how to explain it either I do understand what @nax is saying. I think putting a 99 engine in a truck that was factory equipped with later emissions will cause some heart ache in the right time and the right place.


    I also think that gliders are exempt from that as they never came emissions rated.


    Most D.O.T have nothing to do with emissions concerns so like I said it's gonna take the perfect circumstance
