!@#$&^! CA Emissions Testing
At least it looks like they won't be putting my truck on the rollers next year! I'm sure they won't be training the technicians that we "older" Fords redline at 3400RPM...

Yep. That's correct. Has anyone heard how often smog testing will be required? Here in Siskiyou County we only have to smog our vehicles once then they're good to go until the next change of ownership.

Well it looks like I will be exempt from this. It also means there will not be a newer truck in my future.

In Lake Co. they don`t smog period. Thought about renting an apt up there to get an address (2 hrs. away) just in case I have problems. I could write off as a business expense either way

It's still nice to not have to fuss with smog every other year though! That's the way I'm set up for all my vehicles!

My rig is pretty much bone stock. The only time I get any smoke is a light mist on a cold day getting on the freeway or towing heavy. I'm sure my emissions are low (it's only a visual smoke test anyway). My only concern is going to be the visual inspection. I have a 6637 filter (obviously no CARB certification on that baby!) and no cat. The under hood sticker clearly states CA emissions / NO CAT on it. Hopefully they take that for what it is.
It's also a good excuse to finally chase my P1670 code that keeps throwing my SES light. Hopefully it's only a bad connection between my IDM and UVCH. If not, my wife is not going to be happy how such a small box (IDM) can cost so much!

Brian-
Did you ever chase down the P1670 code? My friend has a 2000 7.3 and he never had the check engine light. He dropped it off at the smog place and the guy said it failed because it threw that code...
