Engine date of manufacture Glider

There should be an engine serial number, that should not change with a rebuild bc it shows what parts go in it. It would tell what the CPL is. They can not change engine serial number just bc it was rebuilt. Call Freightliner or Detroit and give them the engine serial number, they can tell you what year it was made.

On a side note, with them making changes to the ELD rule like this before implementation, it's one of the threads that is starting to get pulled to unravel the whole darn thing. Cattle haulers are exempt, and other parts of the industry are applying for exemptions as well. I think they are realizing the true cost of what this will do to the industry. Follow the money trail. This is just my opinion

 

Someone mentioned on another forum that the castings of the block can be dated on DDs I don't know how true that is but it is plausible.

 

Ok i.m just curious what is to keep some one from grabbing old epa tags from 99 at wrecking yards and selling them to people with 2001 engines

 

I meany 08 cat doesn't have a tag anymore and that is what they are checking with

 

Livestock haulers are only exempt from the 30 minute break, they are not exempt from the eld mandate.

 

I had read us livestock haulers were going to be exempt from the eld mandate for another year. That was like a month ago i had read that. Maybe something has changed?

 

Engine serial number will be stamped on the block under the intake on a Detroit. Starts with 06r. If it's less than 06r550xxx it's going to be made in 99 as mine was installed 11/99. I'd highly suggest you spend the couple hundred bucks at a Detroit dealer and have the decals ordered for your engine.

 

My s60 is a 96 ddec 3.

 

So your's is exempt? Now if you could only convince the Big Blue Star of that you would be all set...
