    Looking to go from a 1989 RD690 to a 2001 RD688

    Hope you don't have to do any work for the state of ny. Just read an article that says if your truck has not been retrofited with the new emission you cannot work for them. Everywhere else we have until 2016 to either retrofit or sign waiver saying you will scrap your truck.
