do these new trucks have a cat with the cummins engine?

[nickleinonen]

for those that know, or for those that have seen the new trucks with the cummins engine [and have peaked underneath it], does anyone here know if they come equipped with a cat [soot trap]. . i am hoping that in 2003, when i hopefully order my nicely equipped 04 that it doesn't have a cat. and of course, i do not want the egr [that's why a 04 and not a 04. 5]



thanks all

I haven't seen in person, but everything I've read says that the California engine has a cat, but the 49 state version and the HO version don't.

that sounds good... hopefully canadians don't get to mess around with the california spec emissions

Just found it in the magazine, BTW. . TDR issue 37, page 50, top right hand column, under "Cummins Turbo Diesel Engine".

I just prepped one today and was at training school two weeks ago and no cat convertor on 49 state vehicles.

I got mine several weeks ago. Must be a north of Windsor thing.

The trucks at the Nationals had no cat or resonator. Just a muffler.

CAT not required except California

The 49 State product does not require a catalyst to meet the current emissions levels thru January 2004.



The CARB rating requires a catalyst due to the lower NOx standard in California.
