The new engines are amazing. These things are built to last millions of miles so you are guaranteed to wear out the rest of your coach and chassis before your engine even gets to midlife.
Every year, regulations or not, diesel engines get better and better. Every component is improved with data from the previous generations. Engine blocks, high pressure fuel delivery, turbo charges, absolutely everything gets better every singe year.
The newer your engine, the better it will be. Fuel economy rises every year as well.
With my engine, the air coming out of the exhaust is reported to be (I have no actual evidence of this) cleaner than the air going into it in some cities. I can easily imagine this being true in Long Beach, California. Of course, I'm still producing tons of CO2, but far less particulate matter.
