EPA motors are not bad if you look after them, do proper maintenance and run them right. - It is the mass of ignorance in our industry, O/O's who have the=is sort of 'lazy-car-driver' mindset - only holding the damnned steering wheel, neglect everything on their truck until it breaks, then cry when the check engine lights start showing up, all problems set in that shuts them down, then run off to the most expensive places (the oem network of clueless stealers$its) to get ripped off and have their wallets drained, that are the complainers. This is simply bad business practice all around but most O/O these days, you can't tell them that because they are too damnned dumb, lazy, or stubborn (take you pick of many excuses) to listen to logic and reason any more. . - I'll take my emissions red top cry-baby any day of the week over anything older ... it is vastly more profitable and leaps and bounds more fuel efficient and fuel is the number one expense in a trucking operation plain and simple. Then when they get all frustrate4d and it breaks the bank for them due to all the nonstop problems they created by not servicing anything properly or keeping after stuffs... they go off and get a bad delete that destroys their engine repeatedly and blame the equipment over and over instead of looking in the mirror.

as far as the truck goes...

If you don't consider the rest of the truck specs vs. what you intend to do with it then your shooting yourself in the foot. The whole damned truck, its rear axle ratio, equipment options, etc.etcv.etc. all need to be considered to make a decent profit and not to wear out the engine prematurely. You did not mention anything towards this. What type of freight, What type of operations, What the truck specs are... and by the way.. That damnned warranty... throw it in the garbage can. I would not trust a dammnned stealers$it shop to do anything under warranty. it is useless.
