Most cat guys are use to pre emissions engines so all the stuff that goes along with these epa engine's isn't even a thought in their mind until it's sitting in their driveway with the CEL on.

... But our bottom dollar year after year is far less with that supposedly "tougher" old yellow thing of the past. ISX kicks its teeth out of one and lasts just as long if you simply maintain it a bit ... and after a million miles, I can buy 2 more whole brand new trucks and enignes in profit margin alone vs. that yellow turd of yester-year.

- You could not give me one of those engines,... I like my 9.5+ mpg waaaay too much! vs. a yello-turd maybe 7 in the same situation if I am really lucky.
