    Well, first of all my truck doesn't go to California for any reason, so I could care less about what their issues are with gliders.

    As far as i know its illegal to delete the DPF off an engine that was manufactured with it, but nowhere can I find a law that says I can't put an older engine into a newer truck frame.

    Please site an actual law because I can't find one (again, don't care about Kalifornia junk)

    I would consider an N14 though, just to make sure the electronics match up better or at all, I like my cruise control and engine brake on the steering column...

    Dealer refuses to do an engine swap to a D16 EGR from the DPF. They will however do a level 3 rebuild for a cool 39k. A 3/4 rebuild (basically everything reman except the long block) is even more.

    I've been told by a DOT officer that CARB has no authority to stop you. If you pull in, they have you. If you keep going, nothing will happen. CARB wanted the DOT to do their work at the scales, but were told no, so they typically set up on the property after the scale. I should add that I have not tested this. lol

    This is the guy you need to speak with. He does the repower from ISX to Cat engines.

    Maybe @Guntoter can chime in, as he has had work done there also.

    Ok. The 2006 did not come equipped with a DPF. Is he on paper logs?
