california emissions

My new 2003 has a california emissins sticker on it. Is there anything that I can remove seeing that I am in Arizona and I run B-99 biodiesel?
It sure is quiet and runs nice, but it is a dud compared to my 99.

TIA

Yes it will have the GPCM instead of the GPR. The GPCM won't hurt mileage or performance, it's there to throw a code & check engine light, for individual glow plugs in case one stops working.

Thanks, I replaced the exhaust so no worries there,

There sure are alot more electronics mounted on the engine compared to my 99.

Mainly on the passenger side.

I have a "Republik of Kalifornia" truck and all the difference seems to be the Glow Plug Relay vs the module. I never had any particulate filter.

You're showing Chip, Intake & Exhaust on your 99.
Do the same on your 03 & it will come alive.
