    Sorry to post twice, trying to word my question a bit better.
    Are there any other EPA versions (such as the EPA 13) that would be plug and play for my 2013 386 Pete? It currently has an EPA 10. To save money on the front side, and not have to buy all the accessories, hoses, harnesses, etc., this seems like the simplest way to do the swap.
    I'm looking for a quality re-manned engine that can just swap and drop. The truck is "on a diet" at present. I know this is important as well.
    Later on, I'm going to re-do the entire rig from top to bottom, just looking for a quick and dirty way to buy a couple years out of it.

    Ultimately, if I know what my options are for EPA versions, I can start to try and source some options, learn the prices and then go to my bank and ask them for a loan to get the swap done.

    Thanks in advance for the insight and help!!

    Fix what you have or stick with EPA 10 replacement. To adapt the changes alone from EPA 10 to EPA 13 will cost more than it’s worth IMO.
