Here in beautiful Connecticut (truly is) we have emissions testing on diesels. I just completed mine today and the sniff test, which only checks on opacity, reported that my truck has an opacity of 2.6 out of a permissible 20.

Now, I wonder in the real world how comparable this is to others. Please share your numbers.

Note, I have a PowerMax turbo, tuned by Gearhead, running the 8K tow but otherwise stock everything, including an EGR (albeit bulletproof version).

 

NH does that same test and can pull you over to check your truck. $100, first offense, $500 for third... ouch!

Probably spawned by idiots "rollin coal"..... another long arm of the GOV!

 

Theres been rumors of starting this in texas soon,

 

It's all just a new way to rape the tax payers.

Wow Im surprised that CA wasn't the 1st to sniff test diesels!

we only have a visual inspection of parts, and the "snap test" - while at Idle quickly press and release the throttle inspector determines if too much smoke came out.

 

X2 they are normally the hardest!

also im surprised they leave it up to the inspector on the amount of smoke.

 

Funny, the state of Washington has decided not to test diesel motors 07 and newer.

Interesting they decided on that year since the 6.0 didn't change much after, emissions wise, 03.

I do have to do the snap test on mine, I will look for my last print out. I put my engine back to stock for the test.

 

I went in with the SRL loaded and passed with flying colors.

I live(in Wa) where they don't test at all!

 

Same county and you go from not testing to testing.

I think that fire yesterday made more smoke then my truck ever will.
Only a 3 alarm last I heard.

Heck one volcano puts out more crap then all vehicles combined EVER......just guessing though

 

this has been proven to be true

 

I once made a suggestion once instead of spending millions building wast disposal facilities, just to dump it in active volcanoes. Shurly would not release much more poloutants than was allready being released.
Not exactly a well liked suggestion. Still don't see why tho. Just me I guess.

 

Just another way to get older vehicles off of the road!

 

Take the sales tax off of the purchase of a new vehicle, more old cars would leave the road quicker. JMO.
