Hey Jim
I have a 7.3 with no muff or cat and did fine last year on my emissions. I don't even remember them looking under my truck to check. They did check my gas cap and popped the hood to check things out. Testing with a diesel is very different than with a gasser, I had to red line the truck 10x's and it scared the crap out of me. lol. All they are checking for is smoke. I don't see a tuner see a tuner in your sig but if you have one make sure you go to stock tune before you test and you should be fine!

I told them I didn't want to red line it and they said either do it or fail, I needed my tags to I did it. I just didn't do it as quick as they wanted. I got it up to that point at my pace and didn't just let off the petal, I eased out of it. After I was done I pulled into the parking lot and loaded my tune back on it, as I pulled out I left a huge cloud of smoke!!!!

I just smoke out the exit not the whole place. LOL. My little way of getting back at them for making me red line my truck. I still don't get why they just can't place my beast on the rollers and hook up to the OBD like they do gassers.

I have a feeling I'm not going to have tags. There has got to be some way around this. That is brutal and these trucks are hella expensive.
Someone surely would rather have $100 than redline my truck?

Ok, quick question. A couple buddies of mine have gotten out of doing the screw your truck up emmision test. Both of them have went in and confronted the tester about the test. When told to do it or else, they both got out of the truck and told dmv rep. to get in and do it. Long story, but thy both ended up getting passed. I was just wondering if anyone else has done this. The reason Iam wondering is, mine is due in Sept. and with 220 thousand on motor, I do not want to bounce anything off of the rev limiter.
Thanks
Roger
