Listen as truckers were already walking on ice every time we start the damn truck. If your walking on ice might as well dance! The DOT and EPA can eat a mud flap! Straight piped and loud Jake’s and whatever engine you want! Only rules we should abide by is being safe on the road.🤘🏾
With my 1947 Mack I replaced the original engine in 1989. I used a reconditioned 8v71T Detroit Diesel engine with a new 10 spd road ranger, newer rear ends. It is my logging truck in Alaska. The chances of me buying a newer truck is up there with pigs producing people.
My dad bought a freightliner glider that was totaled. He purchased just the cab and the and the title. The title was NOT a rebuilt title and was clean. It cost $34,000. He brought it home and he swapped his 2014 Cascadia cab for the Glider cab. It took him 18 months of nights and weekends but in the end the "new" truck had a S60 from a 1999 Pete and an 18 speed. That was in 2016. He just hit 700,000 miles with it and it still runs like new. The gauge cluster was removed and installed the Petes speedo and RPM and engine warning cluster was put in place the petes computer runs the engine and cruise and jakes and the Freightliners Body / Chassis Control Module was custom flashed ...that process took six months of tinkering to figure out.The cruise was the hardest part to get to work. If anyone wants pics and wiring details just email me from my about page and I will send you pics. My dad was offered $120,000 just last year by a dealership working on it. And YES, Freightliner will work on your engine swapped truck ONLY if it is a glider.
It depends on how you want to do it. There ARE legal ways to repower a new truck with an old engine....but the paperwork more or less grenades the resale value. That and it can cost thousands and take months of red tape. For example if you sell the truck as scrap then buy it back with a salvaged title. You can do a repower and get a rebuilt/reconstructed title with whatever engine on it and at that point its now effectivly a not quite glider thing with a 1 off special vin. However good luck ever selling that truck. People are going to take one look at the title and nope the hell out. Plus a few guys i know who did it had the paperwork take upto 6 months in some cases plus a ton of safety inspections and so on. The paperwork alone ran them nearly 7k. You can also get yourself a salvaged glider with a good frame and transfer everything across one way or another if you catch my meaning and just retitle the rebuilt glider and get the same reconstructed title. Its a pain in the ass but entirely doable and usually cheaper and faster. There is also the beyond useful life span rule but that one has been so abused and is so wishy washy that anything could happen. The main issue is that now that commifornia has set the precident you can ban pre emissions engines entirely....its only a matter of time before the EPA get dollar signs in their eyes and turn the goverment fine rifle towards you.
The problem could be in the computer, not the motor itself. Like you said Ryder is pretty reputable company and has been around a long time, remember the motor only does what the computer tells it and the computer is the weakest link subject to temperature , voltage and humidity changes that can effect it. Had a '14 Pete in and out of the shop for a better part of 6 months till a remanufactured computer fixed it.
Not legal to do but why 6NZ far better over 3406B. Ole saying when in doubt turn them out on fuel setting screws seen many blown up doing this. Fly weights in Governor and timing advance wear out amazing to see them keep driving even when they're hanging up. Ole mechanicals had there problems too and takes special tools too set them up right too
Motor swapping anything should be completely legal. Keeping a truck on the road instead of building a new one is very environmentally friendly when you think about it.
Do like acme markets used to do back in the day. They ran all Macks . They tore the trucks down to the frame rails, get all the steering suspension and brake work whatever they needed. The transmission and rears got all new bearings and seals along with whatever else they needed,. They installed a factory rebuilt pedigree engine done at Macks engine plant in Maryland. Then they got a brand new factory cab all dressed out with brand new interior everything and they refurbished the fiberglass Hood. They came out beautiful you would have thought they were brand new trucks unless you looked really close. Acme markets was a very well managed fleet at the time I've done a few of those cab replacements on DM and RD dumps and roll off trucks back in the day. Installing a fully dressed cab really isn't that hard . I'm going back probably into the early to mid-nineties and at that time a fully dressed cab for an DM r Rd was somewhere around 7,000 to 8,000 brand new. Just a side note back in the 1960s they made a BCR kit that converted a b model into an r model,, kind of Sort of. If you knew what to look for, there were a lot of differences, but to the untrained eye it looked like an R model
@@flintcreektransport what is your fleet primarily? I'm guessing mostly pack car products? Mostly 379s maybe?

Yes lift axle must be steerable or the axle must be fixed permanently down. Those steerable axles add extra weight. Keep the rubber down and the shiny side up driver.

This isn't just trucking trucks. its also going on with all pick up trucks also. Its easier to own an older truck with the older engine and stay with it.. It just amazes me that the epa can get parts made and enstalled that are bad. doensn't do its job. should never be installed. For the price and the cost to repair, not worth owning a newer truck
EPA doesn't build the "parts" or 'design" them all they do is put out this is the standard you must meet them. Problem was really bad starting in 2003 to 2010 because EPA came in and moved goal posts forward by 3yrs NO ONE WAS READY. Other problem was it was changing every 3 yrs so engine manufactures trying to meet EPA rules, trying to fix current engine problems plus working on next emission step. Problem that's still on going DRIVERS, OWNERS after 14 yrs still don't understand system. Still won't clean DPF filter, replace DEF filters, still cant read engine owners manual, still idle the piss out of it and say this engine not like my 2000 I had well daaaaaaaaaaa.

I see a lot of problems cause by drivers and companys poor maint program too. But so did old mechanical and pre-emission engines I worked them too. I remember 30 yrs ago drivers and owners complained junk junk junk same as today too. Trucking companys should stop for 2 weeks show who really has the power. In 2 days all stores will be empty, 3 days no gas at station and would take few months to recover. We have outside forces that sue for every rule change in trucking industry. Or they put someone in charge of Dept of Transportation that has no clue about trucks or shipping. Biden doing it right now he's like we should raise tax on fuel. Problem they kept sticking their hand in funds and used money for other things. Gas tax, truck companys pay federal road use tax and fuel tax. Money is there but again they rob it for other projects that have nothing to do with roads
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has posted new guidance for the electronic logging device mandate that exempts trucks equipped with model year 1999 engines and older from adhering to the mandate, regardless of the model year of the truck.
Take the Vin Number of a 90's Peterbuild or Kenworth and transfer it to your emissions truck and register it as a 90's truck. They all look alike. Nobody will know. 🤪
You can make a glider but have to all the paperwork look up the code for glider. On the title it doesn’t say glider my Kenworth is a glider and has the 4 GS also if you take your motor out of your glider and have it rebuilt and have to use another block that is after 99 and they put a tag on the motor saying rebuilt say 2/01 now you are not a glider there have been DOT looking at engine serial numbers
Please excuse my ignorance guys but what is the difference between a Glider and a standard truck?? I appreciate the info guys, take care and be safe out there!
Check out my video .....IS A MOTOR SWAP LEGAL? But basically a new truck without a motor .... you then put the older preemission more reliable engine in that truck ...
Kinda confused 🤔. So you mentioned in order to know that is a real glider the vin number on the door have to match with vin number on the engine and this have to start with (GGGG)??????
have you ever considered looking into getting CNG trucks? i know the fuel is much cheaper than diesels and they have no emissions on them. im not sure if you can get a CNG with a wet kit or not. as far as i know, Kenworth, Peterbilt, and Volvo have CNG variants. i am unsure of others.
Poor mileage on cng powered trucks and pray to god if your involved in a real bad wreck that those cng tanks don't get compromised because some have and those cabs get blown apart or off the chassis.
The dot cannot write you a ticket for epa violation, wrong department. Elog rules go by year of engine not truck. I have a 2019 w9 i bought new ripped out the junk isx and put a mechanical n14. They can fudge right off Next best option is well flakyy, not recommended, but do the same thing i did and buy an old POS with a title and either use the cab or vin plate. No not legal but it happens every day
Wait what? I have a good running 1999 12.7L with perfect frame (original motor & frame) and a 2019 Eaton Fuller 18spd freshly installed. The cab is so-so.... Are you saying that I cannot swap the century cab for a nicer cascadia cab and still retain the stamped vin on the frame?
@@vroor32 i get what your doing, and yea you can do it. But most of this type of stuff happens with hoods, its a lot easier to swap the vins around on something that basically looks the same as it did 30 yrs ago 90% of officers couldn't tell the difference. Mine is titled as a 98' anyone that has driven a w9 would notice right away that the dash and interior are different from what it should be according to the year on the cab card.
Hey man not to be rude love your vids but from those of us that had no choice please don't bring attention to this topic..loose lips sink our ships. Dot epa ect watch this vids too.merry christmas
You are so right, I just said the de thing then I was reading the comments after I posted mine to see if anyone else though this guy doesn't understand what he is saying and doing to other good people. So thank you for saying something.
What was the last year truck (make and model) that isn't required to have emissions? I want to buy a semi and rather have a older truck. What would you recommend?
There's a rule that when a engine is ten years old, or so many miles, or so many hours, it has met the EPA requirements and it is free game at that point to delete, but EPA is not allowing this, cause they do whatever they want
I had a question why is the Unkm elected people in the department have the ability to make laws like this or regulations they’re on elected officials which is illegal because we have to have Congress elected politicians who makes the law not these appointed people in the department are deciding to make these rules and regulations so how can they make you pay anything or regulate you when they’re not even elected officials from the We the people looks like the government does not work for us when they have an elected officials making rules and regulations and being able to charge you fines that’s distortion in the illegal on the government half
The problem with the emissions equipment on our trucks is that it is all aftermarket. The engine manufacturer and thuck builder does not male the emissions equipment. What needs to happen instead of tryong make bs laws about changing engines is this. We need to send somepne to Washington to represent us and get a law passed that makes all components of the emissions system 100% full parts and labour warrantied for 10yrs from the sate of sale of the truck no matter how many owners it still is covered for 10yrs. Then the makers of the parts will start making sure that they work properly. As it stands now we are guinea pigs to them because we pay for all this junk that does not work
They still make gliders. You have to go to the dealer and order it and wait. Most dealers dont want to sell you one so tell you they are no longer available
Hey guy!!! When you talk about crap like changing motors and getting ride of the emissions motors and replacing them with a good motor. It brings the EPA and DOT attention to owner operator and normal guys working. Please don't do crap like that. I imagine you are an educated man by the way you talk and act. But think before you talk about stuff. Damn New Yorkers. They think and act like they know everything.
Hey guy!!!! hes talking about the legality behind doing it, watch the video before putting a comment! And what does where he is from have anything to do with what he talks about, so only New Yorkers brake the law, i dont imagine you are educated by your statements.
@@mcstgg You are right!?!? Not educated, I have a bachelor's, 11 years active duty Army, but I think buy no means am I an educated man. I just don't like things being brought to attention that guys who are trying to get buy and survive on their own. Guys who love their jobs and their trucks but have keep to keep working. What I am trying to say is that not all trucks are perfect and the emissions crap is not reliable and very expressive to fix. And when people bring to attention how some guys are running their trucks. It makes the government and states start paying attention to owner operator's and can screw them over. So I don't like crap being brought out to the light. Sorry about the New York comment. Just ever time I am there it seems like I run into the rudest people.
This bs about not being able to swap engines is just bs. Take for example a new truck grenades its engine. Does that mean it cant be fixed. I think not. But wait you put in a new engine and the serial # does not match the vin woops. Engine swaps are legal. If some dick head cop or dot tells you different tell him to write you up and you will settle with him in court. That will end that part of the harassment
Engine swaps are legal as long as the engine getting replaced isn’t older than the engine that was in ..... I know. Crazy law !! Only if you get caught though !!!! 😜
@@flintcreektransport I think you could put an older engine but you would need a dpf system and the emission should meet the regulations of the year of the truck! Could be a lot of headache to do this though
@@flintcreektransport"engine swaps are legal, as long as it's a newer engine" ..... Ok, what about Cab swaps 🤷🏿♂️ on old frame, but new(er) cab? Just put a vin sticker over the newer vin with a vin sticker from the old cab? No?
No good will come of this emission nonsense. I'm absolutely sure every company that has tractors on both side of the emission divide can look at their numbers all day long and just shake their heads. Big fleets just have a ton of extra trucks sitting around for spares. Terrible way to have to do business. Those jacks are really handy. Are they individually portable?
Just spoke to their mechanic the other day. They can't and won't do gliders anymore. Strictly mechanics and rebuilds of existing equipment and they must adhere to EPA standards. Besides, their D-60's were crap as they used the cheapest rebuild kits they could get and they are not as good as they could be. Detroit runs at a higher RPM and needs a solid balance job on the entire crank, rod, and piston assembly. At least matched to 0.10 of a gram. A three angle valve job is always a good thing and they don't even know what that is apparently. BTW... I did ask why they still have their web-site up advertising gliders if they don't do them anymore. The answer I got left me a little dumbfounded. "We let the web-designer/tech support guy go a couple of years ago." #Hollywood usdot 366063

Biden doing it right now he's like we should raise tax on fuel. Problem they kept sticking their hand in funds and used money for other things. Gas tax, truck companys pay federal road use tax and fuel tax. Money is there but again they rob it for other projects that have nothing to do with roads
I'd drive that volvo any day of the week..
Enjoyed the video, very informative thank you. I own a CAT powered glider kit and it has been a wonderful experience!
Nice !!
Fitzgerald?
Yes it’s a Fitz
Basically as long as you pay the fine that makes it okay same old shit it's okay as long as you throw money at it
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has posted new guidance for the electronic logging device mandate that exempts trucks equipped with model year 1999 engines and older from adhering to the mandate, regardless of the model year of the truck.
Except it’s illegal to swap a motor with a motor older than what was in it. Meaning you can’t legally swap a 2008 motor for a 1999 motor.
@@flintcreektransport don’t just make posts like this without backing up your claims.
@@boomerang379 Look at 3:27 in the video...... gives the code of federal regulations of where it is found ......
Take the Vin Number of a 90's Peterbuild or Kenworth and transfer it to your emissions truck and register it as a 90's truck. They all look alike. Nobody will know. 🤪
Right
🤫
I was told it could be retitled as a R1. But I'm in ga.
Maybe a wrecked truck ?
When you got t680 2014 you could buy a older model and put the engine in
Prefer w900L
You can make a glider but have to all the paperwork look up the code for glider. On the title it doesn’t say glider my Kenworth is a glider and has the 4 GS also if you take your motor out of your glider and have it rebuilt and have to use another block that is after 99 and they put a tag on the motor saying rebuilt say 2/01 now you are not a glider there have been DOT looking at engine serial numbers
Please excuse my ignorance guys but what is the difference between a Glider and a standard truck??
I appreciate the info guys, take care and be safe out there!
Check out my video .....IS A MOTOR SWAP LEGAL? But basically a new truck without a motor .... you then put the older preemission more reliable engine in that truck ...
Kinda confused 🤔. So you mentioned in order to know that is a real glider the vin number on the door have to match with vin number on the engine and this have to start with (GGGG)??????
No just the vin on the truck has to have the gggg in it
2014 was a very bad year for emissions-controlled enginrs fot heavy duty trucks.
The problem in general is not the motor it's the emissions package.
Yes …..
Who cares if it is "Legal"? I don't. It is my truck and I build my trucks the way I want to.
What if you order a truck without the engine and then put in an old engine
You can’t order a truck without a engine any more .....
I've been seeing 2020 and 2021 cascadias gliders I think paccar only isn't making gliders.
Another good video really enjoyed and looking forward to the next video.....Happy Trails
have you ever considered looking into getting CNG trucks? i know the fuel is much cheaper than diesels and they have no emissions on them. im not sure if you can get a CNG with a wet kit or not. as far as i know, Kenworth, Peterbilt, and Volvo have CNG variants. i am unsure of others.
Not really,,, right now fuel is fairly cheap...
Poor mileage on cng powered trucks and pray to god if your involved in a real bad wreck that those cng tanks don't get compromised because some have and those cabs get blown apart or off the chassis.
You run a very fine and tight outfit sir.
There is no infrastructure for CNG
What about the pre emissions truck? Like 1989 Peterbilt 379.
You can always go newer but not older
You can always go newer but not older
The dot cannot write you a ticket for epa violation, wrong department. Elog rules go by year of engine not truck. I have a 2019 w9 i bought new ripped out the junk isx and put a mechanical n14. They can fudge right off
Next best option is well flakyy, not recommended, but do the same thing i did and buy an old POS with a title and either use the cab or vin plate. No not legal but it happens every day
Wait what? I have a good running 1999 12.7L with perfect frame (original motor & frame) and a 2019 Eaton Fuller 18spd freshly installed. The cab is so-so....
Are you saying that I cannot swap the century cab for a nicer cascadia cab and still retain the stamped vin on the frame?
@@vroor32 i get what your doing, and yea you can do it. But most of this type of stuff happens with hoods, its a lot easier to swap the vins around on something that basically looks the same as it did 30 yrs ago 90% of officers couldn't tell the difference. Mine is titled as a 98' anyone that has driven a w9 would notice right away that the dash and interior are different from what it should be according to the year on the cab card.
2018 d13 motor is it legal to put another 2022 d13 motor in volvo vnl 670
Yes. Same year or newer you can
Can you replace a 2006 isx Cummins with a 2006 Detroit 12.7?
Yes !!
Great info 👍
Hey man not to be rude love your vids but from those of us that had no choice please don't bring attention to this topic..loose lips sink our ships. Dot epa ect watch this vids too.merry christmas
Yea I gotcha .... ✌🏼
You are so right, I just said the de thing then I was reading the comments after I posted mine to see if anyone else though this guy doesn't understand what he is saying and doing to other good people. So thank you for saying something.
Very interesting video
Not worth the risk in my opinion.. Stay legal.
What was the last year truck (make and model) that isn't required to have emissions? I want to buy a semi and rather have a older truck. What would you recommend?
2007 Year Model is the last year without emissions, I would recommend anything older than that !
@@flintcreektransport Thanks for the response, best models and engines you prefer from your experience?
@@JV_214 My preference is kenworth or peterbilt 1996-2007 model w900L or 379
@@JV_214 ISX
I read the article so if you had a 2007 cat you wouldn't be able to swap it to a 3406 let's say to avoid elog
There's a rule that when a engine is ten years old, or so many miles, or so many hours, it has met the EPA requirements and it is free game at that point to delete, but EPA is not allowing this, cause they do whatever they want
Justin so what is your take on guys who delete there diesel pick ups
It’s one thing to delete after it gives you grief but to go delete it from brand new I would not ....
Where can I buy a peterbilt glider right now in 2020-2021?
U can get a 2020 on TruckPaper
2021 is the last year for gliders, EPA finally killed them.
I had a question why is the Unkm elected people in the department have the ability to make laws like this or regulations they’re on elected officials which is illegal because we have to have Congress elected politicians who makes the law not these appointed people in the department are deciding to make these rules and regulations so how can they make you pay anything or regulate you when they’re not even elected officials from the We the people looks like the government does not work for us when they have an elected officials making rules and regulations and being able to charge you fines that’s distortion in the illegal on the government half
They def don’t work for the people.
Thank you for making this video

The problem with the emissions equipment on our trucks is that it is all aftermarket. The engine manufacturer and thuck builder does not male the emissions equipment. What needs to happen instead of tryong make bs laws about changing engines is this. We need to send somepne to Washington to represent us and get a law passed that makes all components of the emissions system 100% full parts and labour warrantied for 10yrs from the sate of sale of the truck no matter how many owners it still is covered for 10yrs. Then the makers of the parts will start making sure that they work properly. As it stands now we are guinea pigs to them because we pay for all this junk that does not work
Exactly. Nobody there understands trucks !!!
PACCAR No longer manufacturers glider kits.
Neither does Kenworth. #bums
PACCAR is Kenworth lmao and Peterbilt
I thought they still do but they have a certain amount of trucks they can do a year.
They still make gliders. You have to go to the dealer and order it and wait. Most dealers dont want to sell you one so tell you they are no longer available
Hey guy!!! When you talk about crap like changing motors and getting ride of the emissions motors and replacing them with a good motor. It brings the EPA and DOT attention to owner operator and normal guys working. Please don't do crap like that. I imagine you are an educated man by the way you talk and act. But think before you talk about stuff. Damn New Yorkers. They think and act like they know everything.
Im simply stating facts..... sorry man
Hey guy!!!! hes talking about the legality behind doing it, watch the video before putting a comment! And what does where he is from have anything to do with what he talks about, so only New Yorkers brake the law, i dont imagine you are educated by your statements.
@@mcstgg You are right!?!? Not educated, I have a bachelor's, 11 years active duty Army, but I think buy no means am I an educated man. I just don't like things being brought to attention that guys who are trying to get buy and survive on their own. Guys who love their jobs and their trucks but have keep to keep working. What I am trying to say is that not all trucks are perfect and the emissions crap is not reliable and very expressive to fix. And when people bring to attention how some guys are running their trucks. It makes the government and states start paying attention to owner operator's and can screw them over. So I don't like crap being brought out to the light. Sorry about the New York comment. Just ever time I am there it seems like I run into the rudest people.
This bs about not being able to swap engines is just bs. Take for example a new truck grenades its engine. Does that mean it cant be fixed. I think not. But wait you put in a new engine and the serial # does not match the vin woops. Engine swaps are legal. If some dick head cop or dot tells you different tell him to write you up and you will settle with him in court. That will end that part of the harassment
Engine swaps are legal as long as the engine getting replaced isn’t older than the engine that was in ..... I know. Crazy law !! Only if you get caught though !!!! 😜
@@flintcreektransport I think you could put an older engine but you would need a dpf system and the emission should meet the regulations of the year of the truck! Could be a lot of headache to do this though
@@jasbel671 you could I think but that would be asking for a lot of headaches
@@flintcreektransport"engine swaps are legal, as long as it's a newer engine" ..... Ok, what about Cab swaps 🤷🏿♂️ on old frame, but new(er) cab? Just put a vin sticker over the newer vin with a vin sticker from the old cab? No?
one truck operation can get away with it.
No good will come of this emission nonsense. I'm absolutely sure every company that has tractors on both side of the emission divide can look at their numbers all day long and just shake their heads. Big fleets just have a ton of extra trucks sitting around for spares. Terrible way to have to do business. Those jacks are really handy. Are they individually portable?
Yes, the jacks basically roll around like a pallet jack ..... very handy !!!!
Thank Obama for that.
Who cares if it isn’t legal. You would rather go bankrupt fixing ur epa trucks??
Yea i know .....
Who gives a rat shash as if it's legal or not
EPA does ….. 😜
Who cares
Take the Volvo to Fitzgerald and they do glider legally
I’m not sure how they can skirt around the law ? I doubt it .... maybe they can make it look legal 😜
Just spoke to their mechanic the other day. They can't and won't do gliders anymore. Strictly mechanics and rebuilds of existing equipment and they must adhere to EPA standards. Besides, their D-60's were crap as they used the cheapest rebuild kits they could get and they are not as good as they could be. Detroit runs at a higher RPM and needs a solid balance job on the entire crank, rod, and piston assembly. At least matched to 0.10 of a gram. A three angle valve job is always a good thing and they don't even know what that is apparently.
BTW... I did ask why they still have their web-site up advertising gliders if they don't do them anymore. The answer I got left me a little dumbfounded. "We let the web-designer/tech support guy go a couple of years ago."
