I just recently bought my first truck, it is a 97 f250 powerstroke. I am doing some work to it, clutch, slave cylinder, main cylinder, rear main,exhaust, it is currently straight piped and the tail pipe is under the bed i know where i'm at it wont pass like that therefore I am fixing that but, and now I have the question... does my truck need a "cat" converter? I have heard that half of the trucks in that year had one and half did not and am therefore wondering if mine does.
Welcome to FTE. For the cat question, you can look under the hood or on the door for any sticker that lists emissions equipment, but the big question is will the inspection stations in your area even look into it?
I guess you're doing the rear main because the tranny will be out and not to fix a leak?
All the trucks that year had a cat. I'm not familar with emission testing but like Chris said, they might not even look. If they do just say it was like that when you bought it.
I live in utah and in salt lake county some county's here have emissions some don't. salt lake county does. I checked for sticker it is not there looks like it was removed or wore off. the body and interior of the truck are virtually flawless but a kid owned since this last december and went and did a whole bunch too it now it wont pass emissions or inspections. I am with the upgraded clutch with a solid flywheel instead of the stock flywheel with the springs. there is a leak in the rear main the tranny is tight and good but the clutch is horrible same with the slave thats why im doing all three at once and then the rear main to fix the leak. why do you ask? is that not going to work? I'm sure the inspections will look into it this state has gotten horrible with it and are failing vehicles, specially diesels, for whatever they can big or small.
Usually what looks like the rear main is a leak coming down from the valley, drain for it is in the passengers side rear of the motor. That is what he meant.
