pre eld motor

They call it a re-power, it’s done all the time.

 

I dont think this set up is ELD exempt ...block is from 2005 since its acert ... Others might chime in to have more info...

 

No bueno; BXS C15 began production in 2004.

 

It could be an Emodel thats had an accert crank thrown in it. One would have to get numbers off the block itself to verify it.

 

It says right in the description that it is a BXS C15 Acert block.

 

I have asked this question before also and here's the best understanding that I have of it.

As far as DOT, whatever year truck that you have, whether a 2005, 2010, 2015, if it has a 99 or older engine you are ELD exempt.

The problem that I see, is that if you repower a truck with an older engine, if it is an emission truck, I do believe that is a violation of federal law. Unless it's actually a glider, or unless you switch cabs or do something that you have a reconstructed title.

I think all of the emission nonsense started like 2007 or 2008 so I guess that would be okay.

I think EGR began in 2003, so I'm not really sure about the feds point of view.

And I don't know how the feds would catch you or anyone for that matter. I do not think that DOT is in the business of enforcing Federal emissions laws.

Now the communist state of California is a whole different bag of cookies.

 

This is correct.

No such clause. You may be thinking about the 4wheeler rule - you cannot repower a 4wheeler as per DOT rules with an engine older than the vehicle itself.

If it's a cab & chassis that you are shoving a motor of your choice into - it is a 'glider'. 'Glider kits' were originally sold by the major mfg's back in the day.

 

There has been so much monkied with on that engine I wouldn’t trust any descriptions and would verify by part numbers cast into the block and other major hard parts that I have laid my eyes on personally.
