    2416B56B-3540-44A1-B3B6-FCE59E2A898D.jpeg Mine is Titled 2001 Build date early 2000. Engine has a build date of Nov. 1999. Looks like the Truck was originally destined to be 2000, My guess is due to all the Repos at the time,new sales were slow. I’ve Been inspected twice, explaining 99 original to Truck. No problems (yet ). I keep a copy of this with my Log book.Says it all

    I started with a C15 Caterpillar and drove it for a couple of years it burned and leaked a little oil had like 1.2 million miles on it, but God I miss that truck, had an 18 speed tranny and at 65 miles an hour you're only doing 1350 RPMs.
    I miss caterpillar engines.

    Have a Freind that has her own authority, she drives a 2000 or 2001 W900L with a older N14 (electronic) in it. Last 2 engines were installed by Cummins. I’m sure someone will ask so... yes, paper logs. Y’all stay safe out there.

    My truck is a factory glider ordered new in 1994 by Sheppard in Pennsylvania. Titled as a 1995 model. Sheppard, Ross, & TRW build steering gears..... guess which one is on this truck ;).

    I called about a day cab Pete in PA a few months back with a reconstructed title. I think it was a 2016 that was a light rollover with a different cab used when rebuilt. Truck was originally an ISX replaced by an S60.

    So the consensus seems to be that if you repower with an older engine, it is legal and ELD is not required.

    That makes sense but there must be a certain year truck that emission regulations came in that you can't just change the engine. Can you?

    Are there regulations on emission control trucks that you can't just change the engine and do the same thing? Those trucks are from what year 2010 and up? Or can you repower them also?
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    The consensus may be that, but the EPA and most states will hold you to the idea that you bought a truck with an newer engine in it, it has to be replaced with tha same type of engine with the same year or newer emission controls.
