So anything pre emissions in California is banned and is illegal to own? What about farm tractors?

So if I drove my '71 Chevy C90 into your state (with a 6-71 Deeeeetroit, BTW) how many years would I get?
You can drive it here but not register it here.So if I drove my '71 Chevy C90 into your state (with a 6-71 Deeeeetroit, BTW) how many years would I get?
Yup, anything he equivalant of a F-450 and up that doesn't meet the 2011 diesel emissions standards cannot be registered in the state unless you can prove it is not for commercial use. They are even cracking down on the people that have those cool beds on their trucks for horse trailers, they consider those commercial. We just worked on our last Ford LCF not that long ago as they are no longer legal here either.
Ooh. I hope it's not a smart sender that's broadcasting the level over CAN, 4 wires implies power, ground, CAN high and CAN low. I work on CAN based engine controllers for stationary engine applications, such things do exist.
Silly laws caused some companies to go out of business because they couldn’t afford to buy a new fleet of diesel trucks.
We are seeing a lot of fleets switching to gas engines.
Yes I have talked to several owners of fleets that won't touch diesels in their pick ups tow trucks anymore. The farmers around here love their leased Power stroke pickups. Then they all say in the same breath I wouldn't own one or those pieces of you know the s word . When I replaced the Wife's 2002 F250 [probably one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned.] with the 7.3 Powerstroke , I bought a F350 with the 6.2 gas engine.
Hate DEF system. Used to have a Benz GL Bluetec it was a dealer for queen. Got rid of it and bought an older CDI with OM648 engine and enjoying it. Never again a car with DEF. But a Peterbilt is a different cat.
Hello,
New to the forum and wanted I'm in the same boat.
Mine is a 5 pin connector.
1. Heater circuit
2. Heater circuit
3. Ignition feed (Battery voltage)
4. Ground
5. Sensor return (.5 V = full and 4.5 V= empty)
Measuring voltage across pins 3 and 4 (with connector connected) is battery voltage
measuring across pins 4 and 5 (also with the connector connected) is 8.8 V
This is causing and "empty" condition and check engine light with derate.
It is a Cummins ISL in a custom chassis. Shaw products is the OEM supplier of the DEF head.
They estimate 20-24 weeks for delivery and are saying its really just a guess.
I would also like to try and figure out how to wire in a resistor to fool the ECM into seeing 1/2 tank (and just top it off weekly). To do this I would have to figure out how to reduce my running voltage of 14.4 to 2.0 V.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I was looking at a buck convertor module, but I don't know much about them
