<p>[quote user="YoHo1975"]Also, didn't Metra just finish rebuilding the whole fleet a year or 2 ago?[/quote]</p> <p>Metra rebuilt 41 F40PH to F40PH-3 in 2016 and 2017, I think. There are still about 35 F40PH-2 and 30 F40PHM-2 left.</p> <p>[quote user="YoHo1975"]I wonder, I'd assume the F40 is equally capable of getting an ECO upgrade as the Caltrans F59PHis got...[/quote]</p> <p>The Caltrans F59PH got a 710 Eco Repower upgrade package for EPA Tier 2. That might work with a F40PH too though it has an 645 engine. MPI built its Tier 2 <br />MPI36PH-3S with EMD 16-645 engines with HEP from the main engine using an inverter.</p> <p>Metra planned to rebuild its MPI36PH-3S to MPI36PH-3c standard with seperate HEP generator. I don't know how far they got.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
