Awesome, isn't it. My last truck (1995 F-150) went 240k miles with no major repairs. I only traded it because I needed to tow a heavier load.

emissions isnt that big of a deal, my cousin drove his 2001 1500 through NJ last year with flying colors also. 6.0 out of a Cadillac, bored .30 over, huge cam, corvette tweaked heads, huge cam, long tube headers, no cats, straight pipe. Worker at the station didnt say anything about the emissions, even with the truck barely able to idle from the cam

Come to CA and see what happens

I still passed no problem at 185xxx miles. Emissions here still isn't too bad.

I took my '92 land cruiser with 302,000 miles in to smog. It passed.
