OMG! You can't be serious! I think I am going to go and buy pre-DPF trucks from all of the big three and park them in my air conditioned garage for safe keeping for future use!!
If they start requiring emmissions I am never buying another DPF truck!
That's gonna suck!!
You know it always starts in California and then moves on to the other states........

Sorry, let me clearify, starting with the 2008 models (6.4 Ford), going forward in time, (09, 10, etc) will required smog testing if regestered in the People's Republic of Mexifornia (currently still knows as California).
And the answer is YES. If you go out and buy a new 6.4L Ford diesel, it WILL be required to pass smog inspection starting Jan 1st, 2009.

That sucks. I love livin in Texas. Cause all the people who work in the shops down here come from Mexico, and if it has an exhaust pipe it passes their emmisions test.

Well this is a slightly older thread that has been revived, but it does appear that smog testing could be coming to California in the near future.
