One of them sleepy Wednesdays

I was sneaking around on the net this morning and thought...... I wonder about gm and dodge trucks.
Wholly Moo Moo looks like we are all in for some drastic changes to meet 08 emissions

cummins has some interesting statements about the particle filter
and the dura thing is going that route to,

could be very interesting to watch the new MY 08 -2014 trucks,

http://www.epa.gov/region2/news/2003/03035.htm
The proposal announced earlier this week by the Bush Administration would take effect for new engines starting as early as 2008 and be fully phased in by 2014. EPA is proposing to reduce emissions of soot, known as particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from today's engines by more than 90 percent. When fully phased in, annual reductions will be 825,000 tons of NOx and 125,000 tons of PM. For the first time ever, advanced emission control systems will be incorporated into nonroad equipment. The sulfur content of diesel fuel will be dramatically phased down from its current uncontrolled level of 3400 parts per million to 500 parts per million (ppm) beginning in 2007 and then to 15 ppm in 2010 a 99 percent reduction

Want to go in together on a sulfur additve company? Kind of like the lead additive you have to put in some of the older cars?

Wonder what MBRP's ts304 stainless steel particulate filter is going to look like.

It means I sure won't be buying a new truck anytime soon.

Sounds like some more crap!! Before long your going to have to make 1000hp just to move your truck because of all the restrictive crap hanging off of it.

They tow 20,000lbs no problem with a gooseneck ball on the roof!!

They are going to have to get paid more per mile. The privateers are going to go out of business. Prices of ALL goods are going to go up since at one point or another they are transported in a diesel powered rig.

i figure it will be like the late 70's to early 80's no power because of all the smog junk, terrible reliablity and then ten years later that they figure it out, as electronics started making it easier and we got some HP back

so we are in for a steep learning curve.

my first 7.3 has 180 hp, 10 mpg
my second had 250 15 mpg
now we are at 300 or so 15-16 mpg


my next engine will be a gas turbine
