dyno test responsibility

What's the actual serial number on the engine?

 

The stickers on the engine should have a year on them as well. "This engine complies with xxxx emissions law" or something like that.

I'm kind of lost as to your question, do you think the dyno operator is somehow responsible for the year of the engine? Is there anything in California regulations that require a seller to inform the buyer if the engine has been swapped out?

I think you should've looked a little closer before buying the truck.

 

Shops that perform dyno runs are just going to strap the truck down and run it. It doesn't matter to them what year, make or model the engine or truck is. You should know this before you bought it.

 

What is your motive here?

It appears that you are trying to say someone else is somehow responsible for you purchasing a truck with a non original engine?

I sure hope not.

 

Hes say9ing it would have been nice to know before he bought it that it was not the original engine configuration

 

Read the last sentence of the original post.

Maybe i'm being pesimistic but it appears the op wants someone else to be responsible for this.

 

So now the next step is to get a lawyer and take the seller to court. That is the only recourse you have at this point, and good luck.

Unfortunatley this is a very expensive lesson to be learned, but next time around I hope you do your homework on a truck purchase. people go into this as if they were buying a personal vehicle like a car. it's not as easy as many think. Poor judgement, lack of research and knowledge of the business (used trucks) will bite ya in the butt everytime.
