[LORDDiESEL]

What about older cars and trucks? They have to pass smog too?

[smokersteve]

Look up BAR or California diesel emissions to get the exact info. I think it is 2003

[smokersteve]

here is something
California Emissions!!!!!

[2005F250]

All California GAS vehicles I think model year 76 and newer need to get smogged? I should know just finished the BAR 97 class last week. Diesel pickups like ours model year 98 and newer require smog checks. It's not a BAR 97 test. Its a visual and snap throttle test. The visually check the vehicle for the emissions equipement like the would on a gasser and then they do a snap throttle test. They hold it at around 3K RPMs for a few seconds and check for visable smog (soot) and it's up to the smog techs judgement to determan pass or fail on the snap test. Honestly it's not as bad as you think it is. People are passing left and right and I have only heard of one person failing which was my bro who bought an out of state truck and had to get it smogged to register it. He failed the VISUAL inspection for no cat. Put a cat on the truck and re tested it and passed just fine. As for the registration it's because in California our trucks are registered commercial and the regestration is actually $50 but its the weight fees that kill us. The heavier the GVWR the higher the total registration bill. Thats why you see a lot of crewcab long bed F250's vs. F350's because the F250 has a lower GVWR thus a lower regestraion bill.

Its because of this that I decided to just plug up my egr and not delete it. And I know alot of people hate how Cali is doing this but I honestly don't see my self living anywhere else. 1 hour from the beach, 1 hour from snowboarding, one hour from desert. 1 1/2 from l.a. Call me dumb but I like it that way!
