    Drive Clean changes
    ......Effective April 1, 2019, drivers will no longer be required to get Drive Clean emissions tests for their passenger vehicles...........A new, enhanced program will focus on the biggest polluting vehicles like commercial transport trucks.....

    Tell me a serious # on it with pics and stats and specs and I'll see if my boss wants it. We can inframe it in house and make the emsissions stuff fall off.

    I’d sell it for whatever you can get and replace with a few year old KW T680 with ~300k on it. Then get Cummins 2nd owner XT1 warranty on it.

    Wouldn’t put much stock into the drivers opinion as your talking 10’s of thousands of dollars if it’s this bill and in that year it needs an overhaul. Then you are the one stuck with the bill and a truck you’ve dumped way more into then it’s worth years after he’s long gone.

    Then, the new driver replacing him will ##### and moan that the body is beat to #### and want something newer. Mean time you are stuck with it.
