Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I made recent mention of MRAPs not passing US EPA (1998 Emissions level engines from Navistar anyhow) or US DOT. Seems somebody was listening! I would expect this to stick as even emergency vehicles have to meet modern emissions standards. The only difference between emergency vehicles and regular trucks allowed (that I'm aware of) if that emergency vehicles CANNOT have engine protection software that limits the horsepower to less than rated. IE, if a Firetruck, Ambulance, or School Bus (same category), is about to scatter its rods all over the street, or someone dies, its programmed to go for broke and do just that. I honestly think its a shame the trucks will be going to scrap as many of our real foreign allies could get good use out of them and PAY US for them. With the independent suspension upgrade they're actually still very capable vehicles in modern theaters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunman1 1,753 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 EPA needs to be disbanded. Trouble is...they have actually done plenty of good, however like the unions, they have become too big, too greedy, and too powerful. Now they're just a whore to whichever evil prick is in the oval office. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
