What's the difference?

I guess there is a California truck and a Federal truck. What is the difference between the two?

Cali engines have Split shot injectors and a pulse damper on the fuel pump + the PCM monitors the GP system for failures.
The Fed engines don't have any of those.
There may be more.....CRS

How can I tell if this is a Cali truck. The vin says it was made in Kentucky. Does that help? Are the split shot injectors inferior to the others. Is a pulse damper bad. Would it be a bad thing for the PCM to monitor the GP's? I am just searching for answers. Thanks.

How do you tell which truck you have? vin number somewhere? I'm sure I have a fed truck but was just curious how you tell.

Take a look at the FP for spaceship looking thingy (1) attached to it, that's the damper. Cali engine. The VIN is the same...it's an emission thing
