Well, you may want to check on the California emissions laws. They will be changing in 2016, and requiring ALL non-commercial vehicles to meet a minimum standard unless they are used for certain specific (read: non-road) purposes. To register your vehicle beyond a certain age (I admittedly don't know the age requirement) you will have to pass an emissions test. So if you sell your '95 7.3L the new owner will have to get it passed to register it in California.
In 2018 a similar requirement will be placed on commercial vehicles as well. It's part of changes made by the FTA (Federal Transport Act) in 2011, as driven by the Kyoto accords.
Many other states will be passing similar changes to comply with this federal requirement.
I research these laws for big companies for a living, I have literally 100's of hours of research and meetings logged on this particular subject.
Oh and Turtle, I don't deny that a duramax will last a long time; likely as long as a bullet proofed 6.0l powerstroke. I just can't seem to find a large SUV with a duramax in it. If you know of some, please enlighten us!
