It`s coming guys. There is that thread about how long are they going to let us drive our old Diesels.
Crap starts in Kali and then pollutes the rest of the country.

I came across this CL add, though it is for larger rigs like this bus conversion.
Re: 1973 GMC Coach Conversion *BEWARE*

It`s interesting what the mechanic wrote about this add, and the tier 4 emissions CA is implementing. and soon NV, AZ, WA. to follow.
It`s coming to a neighborhood near you soon.

Some of you on the forum have Motor Coaches or conversions so a heads up.

I have always loved the sound of an old Detroit 2 cycle.
You either love them or hate them. I wanted a 4-53 turbo with a Jake on it for a PU install. I`ve seen a few around.

We`ll all be driving these POS cars we have to wind up and wear they are so small. Wonderful..just wonderful, can`t wait to try one out....not.

Here is what the mechanic wrote.

Nice GM bus, that is worthless due to California's soon to be implemented (2016)Tier 4 Air Quality Engine restrictions for vehicles over 24ft long.

Not to mention, they waited until the end of the ad to reveal that the
engine would have to be pulled and rebuilt. I work as a mechanic at a truck repair
shop at the Love's truckstop off 40 in Kingman. That's a $12,000.oo
repair, on a diesel engine that's about to be outlawed. (All the old 2-cycle Detroit diesels will be banned due to massively excessive pollution) What a waste of
time to read that whole ad. That bus is headed for the scrapyard, or permanent parking at a hunting camp.
We got the bulletin in February from the State of Nevada Dept of
Transportation, Bureau of Automotive Repair, which states that after
June 1st, 2016, we are no longer allowed by law to offer "replacement
or rebuild" repair of the GM two-cycle 53, 71, 92 and 112 series
2-cycle supercharged engines that were registered in California, and
that after Jan 1st, 2020, it will be forbidden in the state of Az as
well, due to two cycle engines not being adaptable to the new state
pollution standards for heavy duty vehicles. These coaches, even
though they are now privately owned, if they were "originally purpose
built for commercial use" they are included in the new emission
legislature. To repair these vehicles, they will have to be repowered
with "Tier 4 or better emission capable engines" I have heard that
Washington, Oregon and Nevada are soon to follow suit. We have already
had owners in here griping to us about this, as we are the only John
Deere (Tier 4 and 5) r/v repower dealer in town. It's not our fault,
nor did we have any say in the matter. If anything, it hurts our
business, due to our massive(and now useless) Detroit repair parts
inventory. We were the only place between Las Vegas and Phoenix that
still maintained a new parts warehouse for the older Detroits.
