Dougal,

I am looking at the legality of the specific engine class of the Isuzu. IF, it was offered in the US as a light duty diesel then it should be in the same duty class as the 6.2 and 6.5? This would be in the same weight class. I don't want to put out a lot of money and possibly get caught in 2010 if CA starts to perform checks and or requires additional catalytic converters and any other equipment.

On a side note, I have a friend who is a diesel mechanic that repairs the garbage trucks at one of the cities in our area. He said that they were required to install and have been installing catalytic converters for some time now. The problem they are having is that the cat converters load up due to the slow speeds of the garbage trucks. They are constantly having to remove the cats to clean them.
