AMEN!!
I saw a bumper sticker today that said "Don't blame me, I voted for the American!" Found it pretty hilarious myself.

But if SC decides to impliment emission laws, I would be "grandfathered in" wouldn't I? I couldn't see them telling thousands of people that they all of the sudden need to do all this expensive work on their vehicles that they can't afford just to pass emissions. And what about 7.3s? There's no way they would ever pass today's emission standards (for the states that do check) no matter what kind of work you do on them? Would they tell those owners they have to buy a new vehicle?

That's not how I have been seeing it. In California and other states they have implemented the diesel smog checks for vehicles under 14000 lbs(I think that is the weight). They check them for compliance with the equipment that came with the truck new. Most are not even testing the exhaust. If you do not pass the visual you will have to put it back to stock. I kept my parts and it will take a half a day to put it back to "sneaky look" stock.

They started smog checks for Diesels here in Nevada a few years ago. You had to know it was coming since on a warm summer day in Las Vegas you can cut the smog with a knife. Anyway every couple years it gets a little more strict and the fines get higher. This stuff starts in one state and they all join in sooner or later since they make money from it. I worry a little bit every time I go to get my smog and all I did was the blockoff.
