M%$#^& F*&%#@ State of California!!!!
 
Went to have my truck smog tested today and the guy at the test station came back to me and said he couldn't pass me because of my "tuner". I said it wasn't a tuner but rather an engine monitor that did NOTHING to the engine. He was referring to my Edge Insight. He said I should go elsewhere. Went to another station and that guy said he couldn't pass the truck with ANYTHING plugged into the OBDII port. Unplugged the Insight and he wanted to know what my Transfer Flow "Fuel Monitoring" system was and also what "that thing that went to the radiator hose" was, I explained that it was a coolant filter and nothing more.

I finally got a smog certification but man the state of California has these smog guys scared to death of diesel pickups.

It SUCKS!!!!

I live in Riverside County, Ca. and have a coolant filter, P.S. filter and Scangauge ll on my 05 P.S.D. Had it smogged at a Riverside City Ford dealership and had no problems at all. You either have a dud dealership/tech or more is on your truck than you are disclosing.

A government big enough to give you everything you want is also strong enough to take it all away.

To the freeloaders wanting what they feel is entitled. The government can't give you anything that it didn't TAKE from someone else... And as for me personally, I'm tapped out. Where's it gonna come from when there aint nothin left? The only hope and change I have in mind is getting the current clown out of office.

Drive train wise the truck is bone stock except for the coolant filter.

The people in Cali deserve every bit of what they receive. I couldn't get out of there (Yorba Linda) fast enough.
