We're screwed. Have a ford 8000 dump with cat 3208. Got a few years before they make Me junk it. Strong ,great truck. It'll be like putting down My dog!
Of course,I could pay $12,000 for new exhaust system. 2 snowmobiles will be next,then 17 year old back hoe. I hope the Ca. truckers do a sit out,and
bring this state too It's knees! GOT MILK?.

I read about this on another site too, here in NY they are going to follow suit too. My brother-n-law is a mechanic for the State DOT and has told me they are retrofitting the trucks already at a huge expense to the taxpayer. I was talking to another fella who owns a Marina and he was telling me the state will be cracking down on boats here soon for emissions.
