    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) CARB...looking at ALL diesel trucks

    We have a large fleet of diesel lifts at my job and am working from a spreadsheet with year and horsepower of vehicle. adding DPF will change PM but not nox. most of my stuff has PM issues. My 970 cat loader will need a DPF to make the PM count. No DPF's are yet available for my lifts as yet...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) dealership claims injector pump timing failure but have good lift pump pressure

    Not so sure about all the air bubble stuff. earth moving equipment is pretty pricey and downtime is a killer and they have pretty basic filtration systems. These air bubbles would also kill the newer High Pressure common rails as they are running substantialy more pressure then our injector...
