    6.7 Ford Diesel dpf systems are big money. When my Pittsburgh brother is ready to sell his set, I will surely take care of him.

    Probably going to keep my old equipment. I've heard some viscous rumors that PA laws are about to change and diesels emissions will be required. Takings of huge fines for people who are caught with tuners overriding the testing equipment.

    Time shall tell on that stuff.

    Highly doubtful. If they make diesels have to take emissions they have to do ALL of them, including Fire Trucks, Ambulances, and PennDot's entire fleet which contains thousands of vehicles.

    It's the reason emissions testing showed up here so late. We were supposed to get it back in the late 90's (sniffer test), but none of the State Police vehicles they tested then would pass.

    Not one.

    So they postponed it until they could come up with something that was easier to pass and would still keep the EPA happy. That's how we got the system we have now.

    Pre 1974 vehicles, all diesels, and vehicles over 8500 GVW: Exempt

    1974-1995: visual inspection + gas cap check. For the visual inspection the emissions components only had to be there, they didn't have to actually work.

    1996 on (OBD2) : Plug in inspection + gas cap check
