Readneck, are you gonna have to put a DPF on your t800 since it doesn't have one and you live in CA? I thought that they are trying to make all older trucks add one on.

i wont have to its not my truck i just drive it. yes c.a.r.b. are trying to pass a bunch of new rules about diesel emmisions. if c.a.r.b. gets there way by 2021 no trucks older than a 2010 will be allowed in california. i almost bought a truck two seasons ago. man am i glad i didn't, c.a.r.b. just doesn't understand or just don't care it will put the little guy out of buisness and cost the state a lot of revenue from taxes.

Ok Readneck, since it looks like you're in the logging business, I've got a question. I've always wondered, how do they get the trailers up on the backs of the trucks

thats a nice paystar. is it a model, or a die cast?

it depends on the mill you unload at. some mills the loader that unloads the truck will pick the trailer up and set it on your truck. most mills have a trailer loader which is just a small overhead crane that lifts the trailer up and then you back the truck under it and set it down on the truck. the trailers are pretty light only about 6000 pounds.

That's what I figured but had never asked anyone. Thanks
