I found 2015 Freightliner for sale with 95' engine rebuilt few months ago.
My question is: how do i know if this is glider or someone just swapped the engine (and that's illegal since the engine doesn't meet the 2015 truck emission regulations, right)?
Do you guys recommend buying something like this, how do I check if the engine was really rebuilt few months ago?
If this is illegal, what's the way someone can figure out, does anyone check this at all?
Thank you.

I could be dead wrong. But I would guess it all depends where you run. I wouldn't brave it in some states Cali being one.

Call Freightliner with the VIN and they can tell you if it’s a glider. If the motor was rebuilt at a dealership they will also be able to tell you that.

The vin # should have like 2 or 3 zeros in the middle of it I believe
anyways call the dealership with the chassis vin and they can look it up
yes it’s technically illegal everywhere to just do that engine swap if this truck wasn’t a glider from the factoryrabbiporkchop, Rideandrepair, mjd4277 and 2 others Thank this. -
What's the benefit of a glider, why is that motor swap illegal?
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
What's the benefit of a glider - it is pre emission.
why is that motor swap illegal? - it is pre emission.rabbiporkchop, Rideandrepair and Rubber duck kw Thank this. -
Is it a Coronado model? If so a 2015 factory glider will have an 02-09 front end and an actual toolbox under the passenger side door.
