Something yal may already know...
well i was cruisin down the road today and seen an army hummer broke down so i stopped to see if i could help. they had the hood popped and said it wasn't running right... well as i was examining the engine bay i noticed a metal tag that stated.... " This government vehicle is not required to meet EPA standards" or something to that effect and i was like 
THATS SOME BULL!!! the government can tell us to be pollontant free but they can do whatever and thats just sorry.. so i just had to vent a little oh and i told um to tell uncle sam to buy a 7.3 next time around

Yeah, all of our trucks say that. They also say something about not having to meet noise standards too. But to tell you the truth all of the army trucks run cleaner than my 7.3. I can barely get any smoke out of them, but I can blow smoke all day in my truck.

Yeah but since they are using them old GM 6.5 turbo diesels, they need every bit of HP they can get, lol. I know cause I have one!
Plus I dont think they are over here all too often?? No sense in making them meet emmissions if they are normally going to be in another country.
Was pretty cool they didnt mind you offering to help, and I thought normally they travel in 2s or more in case something like this happened? I dunno.
