More Regulations?
Okay, Guys ... I have a question about what might be a ... rumor ... 
Is the State of California gonna require additional smog-fighting (what-ever) equipment on diesel vehicles, starting next year (2015)? Or, when, - if at all?
I'm "jonesin'" for a diesel P/U in the next year (or so) and, depending on what Big Sister-California-Gummint makes me deal with, may or may-not buy one here.
I couldn't find an actual "discussion" about this on here, so maybe I'm either looking in the wrong place, or there isn't one - OR (hopefully!
) it's nothing more than a big rumor.
Whaddya-all have to say?
Thanks --- D4Tom
Hook 'em!

Th' Rumor Mill ...
I appreciate the information!
That is/was one of my concerns - retrofitting - I think it would be a real hassle, and a bureaucratic nightmare ... But, that's just me.

I'm no expert but I spend a lot of time online, so dont take my word as fact. But retrofitting isnt something I would expect to see happen. It would be huge issue just implementing it, let alone enforcing it.
Up here we dont have emissions testing, but I dont think they put sniffers on any diesels, even in the Bay. It's just a visual inspection to make sure stuff that is there is supposed to be there, and to make sure the truck doesnt smoke excessively.

California has universal testing, but it's dependent on your county rating. Up here we only have to smog test once, when you initially register the vehicle. Some counties have to do it every other year, and the strict ones are yearly.
Diesel rigs 98+ and gassers 75+ (I think).
