I find it more amusing you act like you would have anything post 2000 on your lot. Electric pedals scare you. Lmao

The classic is a 2000, that's about it, unless you count the 2014 school bus that sets in the driveway too, wonder what they are going to do for them.

As of right now only OTR falls under ELD..short haul is exempt

Idk how bus lines run log books, never looked into it

Here is a 14:1 marine E crown and a standard 6nz crown, the bowls have much more depth to them then the acert pistons.

One thing to be weary of is that if they are machining the bowl without having cut a piston in half to check thickness of the bottom of combustion chamber as the friction welded pistons have an oil chamber under the bowl to help pull heat away.

Ive been thinking about this. You have a good point. How much deeper is the bowl in a 16:1 e model vs a 16;1 acert? I can go either way with injectors, just not a fan of runnin default trims
thanks for all the input jfaulkner and smokincat

I'm not sure what the big stink is. You can cheat them the same as paper only the cops don't question them.

Exactly, once they find out my logging is done on an iPad, most of the time they don't even bother to look at it.

Hell my iPad isn't even connected to the truck, it's just an app that I use haha. I can't even tell you how many times I've had sketchy **** going on and they've completely overlooked it because my book is "electronic"

The machine shop that cuts our pistons cut 16:1 and 18:1 pistons apart and digitally mapped them. They are exact replicas to the 16:1 industrial Acert not the 16:1 E's. Default trims aren't a huge deal with a piston your not likely to melt unlike the alum skirt chit. Or you can use flow matched set of injectors. I've got a set of honed/matched 58's I would like to get rid of. They've taken out 5 2WS pistons and the owner finally got smart and went back to 57's and a tune.

"Fully integrated" means plugged into the diagnostic plug. About 1/3 of the trucks I deal with have them and it's a T harness above the 9 pin plug. If it can be manufactured it can be reverse engineered and modified. It has to get speed from some source and GPS is not legal.

pulse per mile, delete delete delete, higher number inserted... problem solved

Pm me a price. How are they on maybe a 475 tune. With some 1100 trims? Probly still too much though. Lol

Most of the time I've had a logbook problem has been because of my handwriting so I've been thinking about trying one for a while. We went through an audit a couple months ago and I had to sit down with a friend and re write all my logs from 2 years ago lol.

You've had better luck than me... Mine have caused more problems than helped.
