My friend thinks that this truck im getting from Organ dosnt have the Smog stuff on it to pass for CA smog, i dont think so, all 92 f250s have the same parts weather its goin to CA, NV, OR, NJ, TX,, whos right

 

ow hahaha Oregon not organ

 

If it will pass Oregon DEQ, then it should pass CA SMOG.

 

hhmm alright that works

 

f250.. if its diesel you'll be fine if it doesn't smoke and has no codes. My truck passed (texas f-150, gas) no problem and the cat went out like 2 weeks later.... So probably be fine.

 

Do they even check diesels in CA? They didn't several years ago when I lived there.

 

They are doing a smoke opacity test for diesels 98 and newer now.

 

Yeah i just had my f250 w/t "smogged" the guy said they really just plug in their computer and make sure the truck isnt shooting any codes. Also they want to make sure your truck doesnt blow a bunch of smoke like some people like nowadays.

 

If this is true then why do they even make CA specific vehicles?

 

Was talking about a diesel f250. Gas cali cars smog is a lot different. They get way to into it.

 

There are now some states that require vehicles to meet CA smog standards.

 

this smog stuff is gettin ridiculous...glad i live where we dont smog test

 

So the stealerships can tack on a "california prep package" fee

 

All the emissions stuff is a pain in the butt. Wish i could cut all my cats off and just run a muffler and be done. I've been waiting on a special order magnaflow cali cat so i can build my new exhaust. But i do have to say, i was on the job site this morning at 6 and it was 50 degrees and by about 9 i was down to a t-shirt. i bet a lot of you guys are freezing right now.. lol i'm not jealous of that.

 

Yeah but when guys are sweltering in those 90+ degree smoggy days weeks on end, I'm enjoying a very comfortable 70 or so degrees most of the summer.
