    Can take a 2006 into Ca for the rest of this year, then it has to be 2007 or newer, or be retrofitted with junk. It goes in @3yr increments, so right now the '03-'06 trucks are on borrowed time, which is fine with me.
    As for the rest of the thread....wow.

    I would go with the peterbilt if you are going to choose from that list because it has a Cat. Detroits are junk motors and they get poor fuel economy, you'll always be broke down with something else little. If I were you I would look for something in the 18k to 25k range with an ISX Cummins in it. or a Cat motor not a Mercedes or Detroit.

    Ill agree that detroits are junk but they get great fuel economy better than a cat ever will. And thats coming from a guy that will only buy a truck with a yellow motor. My philosophy if it aint a yellow motor or it dont say cat it dont belong in a class 8
