dyno test responsibility

areelius I've read your post several times to see if I missed something, but I don't think I have, what make you think that a place that dyno your truck four months before you bought it is responsible for anything? when you clearly stated that you purchased the truck from a private party.

really? let me ask you another question or actually make a guess.

you did voted for our president, didn't you?

 

Just curious, what sort of emission controls are required to be on a 2000 that is not on a '95.?

 

Couple observations (please correct me if I'm wrong). The "potential buyer" did not have the dyno test done. It was done 4 months before you bought the truck. More importantly, it looks like the emission standards for california were the same in 1995 as they were in 2000 ( http://www.arb.ca.gov/html/brochure/history.htm ) and if so, then the motor would be just as compliant being a '95 as it would if the truck was sporting the original 2000 engine making the whole year of engine manufacture moot as far as emissions are concerned.

 

If you are going to sue anyone, it is the private seller. The Detroit dealer doesn't owe you a dime IMO. If this truck is not legal to use because of the engine swap, the blame ultimately goes to whoever sold it to you without telling you. Did that Detroit Diesel dealer install that engine and sell the truck to you? NO. Go after that private party.
BTW, there are a lot of great guys here that are very helpful!!! Just because you are not hearing the answer you're looking for doesn't mean we're all incompetent.

 

it seems like there is a lot of fault in this

the seller should have disclosed the swapped engine (if it is indeed swapped)
the buyer should have investigated the truck, top to bottom (every DOT inspection includes a cursory look at the serial numbers)
the dyno people should have hooked up the engine and printed out the engine year, type, etc

i think i would just sell the truck out of state and look at it as a lesson learned

the obama crack is another bunch of nonsense, as if romney or bush pulled themselves up out of poverty on their own

 

This thread fits the peoples republic of california perfectly

 

Gotta be somebody else's fault!

 

I'll be a smart ar$e here...


Does the Serial# on the report match the # on the Actual motor in the Truck?????


& any chance It's a Glider..................
