Another Hall's deal!!!
The Stickers you are seeing on the new trucks are California air research board (CARB) CERTIFIED CLEAN IDLE . Essentially it is a new 6.7 cummins with a diesel particulate filter ( think catalytic convertor on STEROIDS) . I've been monitoring these engines for the last couple of months and after about 100hrs of engine run time, they shoot fuel into the DPF and burn up all the soot and ash. Its like a blast furnace in the muffler. The exhaust smells very odd for a diesel, almost like an older tbi 4.3. Kinda sweet.

If it's wheels vs. lower, I'd lower it. The stock wheels on your car aren't bad looking, if the stance is right.
A cam and a tune wouldn't be a bad plan either.
You're welcome to ride in the BMW anytime. It's lowered, and rides just like stock. Just get good dampers and springs and you'll be fine. The Mazda is a bad example as it is on all poly/delrin suspension with race springs and hard dampers, so even at stock ride height it would be harsh.

I wouldnt lower it or spend money on wheels, cam and tune, extra money for a verter. Your guys OHV motors respond so well to inexpensive bolt ons. Be thankful you dont have my 1000 dollar cams to buy. or 32 retainer and valve springs.

I had read that a lot of companies are adding these, and correct me if I'm wrong, Self cleaning Urea traps, and I wondered if that is what the sticker was for. Thanks!
Yeah he got me, but I'm telln you that jacket is wind proof, water resistant ans was free from Tide. So it fit all my criteria. I was probably 10 when I got that........it shows.
