    I have seen 0 enforcement so far? I’m guessing it would just be more of the same?

    No one really buys an old truck (99 and older) just to avoid using an elog? Do they?

    Unknown. California will get you, it's like anything else there's some savvy involved.

    I'd say depends on the state. If someone goes "Hey, revenue! "

    I've never been to NM in a truck in my 26 years. Been there on my motorcycle but never a truck.
    I'm good with my 96 for at least 5 more years. I will be out in about 13 yrs

    Here all this time I thought it was because these fellas are nostalgic and have an affinity for old iron LOL.

    I was gonna get that 379 that girl had for sale if she'd been reasonable with the price, but my cousin got out of the game, that was just his style.

    I did, there's not really any difference from 99 to 2000 emissions wise is there?
     
    Rideandrepair, KB3MMX and Tug Toy Thank this.

    Oh yes, you can also extend the emissions coverages way out too.. Added cost isn't very much either. It just makes sense.
