I'm looking at a truck that originally came from California and was wondering if a vehicle that is equiped for their standards would need to be recalibrated to run right in the midwest or if it's good to go as is.
there is nothing special about a California truck. the CARB stuff just means California is more strict on the emissions they'll allow
all of the production trucks meet the requirements to be CARB certified. just make sure it's in good condition and all the usual stuff.
California is/was a huge selling market for vehicles, so you'll find that 99% of vehicles produced nowadays meet the CARB cert requirements. I guess you could say most on the road are "California" equipped

I grew up in Cali, and they used to add those smog pumps to the vehicles taking away engine power, but my 08 Lariat clearly says "Not For Sale In The State Of California" under the hood. It's on a little 2.5X2.5 sticker.
thanks guys, I took the truck out for a long drive and everything worked as expected. I'm just waiting for the appraiser to get back from vacation so I can start the dealing process.
