I left a message for Cody.

In the mean time I'd work on getting the catalytic converter or note that the truck doesn't need one.

ok thanks i feraking out. If I have to send the computer to bill my wife and kids cant go anywhere and i have child custody on Tuesday. the inspector said the sticker on the door and hood are rubbed off and the sticker on the valve cover was gone. Well the valve cover sticker is in the file and it says its a 2000 model b235cf. What i read is it doesnt need a cat is that correct?

If the valve cover sticker says "DC" or "DOC", then you NEED a catalytic converter.

Since the sticker is gone, you'll have to get a build sheet from Ford.

If your inspection guy doesn't like your truck having a chip on it, you'll need a reflash. Bill WILL NOT be available for the last week of the month (as per the announcement at the top of the page) and unless you want to pay for overnight shipping both ways (likely about $80 each way), it won't be done by the end of the month.

[epowers777]

Cleatus nice to hear from you. I would like to talk to bill about an idea I have. if i reburn my computer will i need to get my 6 programs redone also? if someone wants to call me my number is on the first post.

Not to sound shady, but ca is a joke, there's plenty of smog guys that wont give ya the run around bs like that guy is.. just gotta know who to go to man. sorry you're having troubles..

Thats the one thing that makes me wanna get outta here, that and the stupid traffic.

[epowers777]

do you know anyone in auburn roseville sacermento or marysville?

Eric,

If the truck is a 1999 to 2001 Automatic, it should NOT have come with a catalytic converter on it so you wouldn't need one to pass emissions. Since your emissions codes did not include DC or DOC, the emissions guy can stick the whole catalytic converter garbage up his butt. Honestly, go find someplace else to take your truck for testing. I think this guy was just being a prick. You shouldn't have any problem passing emissions with Stage 2 Single injectors, and we've got a number of customers in Calif. that pass without problem.

As to the reflash, if you did have the ECM reflashed you would NOT need to change the chip. The chip overrides the ECM strategy and would ignore whatever strategy the ECM is programmed to.

Unfortunately, we will be out of the office all next week. If worse comes to worse, you are usually able to apply for an emissions extension which allows you something like 30 days to get the vehicle repaired. You'll have to check with your local tag agency to determine what the eligibility requirements are.

I'll be happy to give you a shout in the morning as soon as we get back from Corey's Dr. appointment.

Bill I thank you for your response. You can call me anytime that is convient for you. I was wondering if maybe we can do a trade for flashing the pcm and of course pay my fees. i would pretty much like a stock or smokeless tune. I was hoping we could do a pcm trade cause of my situation. Thanks Bill

According to your valve cover sticker, your truck did not have a cat. The attached photo shows two different stickers for 1999 models. The lower (black) sticker has "OC" listed....which means it came with a catalytic converter.

If your truck is a 1999 model, then perhaps you can print out this photo and show to your emissions inspector.
Hope this helps...

wish I knew a guy up north, honestly i'd talk to a few other(not jerkk) guys and see what they have to tell ya and go from there. Sorry its frustrating i know..

[Longshot270]

I'd go to a different shop. Preferably one that has trucks leaving with the current sticker.

[epowers777]

Can someone ask bill to call me since it's a no call Monday? My wife has been having alot of false labor pains and I can't have the truck down. It carries my kids around. 5309660003

I suggest finding a new smog place. You should have no problem passing, and his computer should be able to tell him you dont need a cat.

And I dont know where he got the Banks 6 Gun crap :notallthere:

Especially since the Banks 6 Gun is CARB approved...

[epowers777]

I just talked to some smog guys found bad news please have bill call me I didn't realize it was past 3

[epowers777]

I called php about 30 times today between 12 and 3 after awhile started getting the answering machine. Please help ca want 60 for a smag extention. I went to other smog shop all said no.
Also they said smog people is looking at numbers for computer programing if the shop passes me theres a chance i will get a letter in the mail supina to go to a ref station. Can bill write a stock program and make everything look stock in the computer?

[Longshot270]

I left a note for Bill

[epowers777]

I called again today no go even posted in the emergency forum. Why am I not getting any service.?

[Longshot270]

I honestly don't know. I left Bill a note and it seems he is the only one that could get you going.

Have you tried a different shop since the first one? The other diesel guys posted some pretty good evidence about the catalytic converter and CARB certified chip.

[epowers777]

Yes I tried a few shops won't except the sticker cause it's not on the valve cover. The I called ford to order one takes 2 weeks there having problems finding the sticker too also I can't remove the chip cause of the single shot injectors conversion I have so I need bill to flash my computer. I'm driving it illegally now cause its not registered the want 60 for an extension. My baby is due any day and my truck is the only one that can haul my family around.

[Longshot270]

I left Corey a note. Hopefully she'll be able to get his attention.

[epowers777]

I'm going to wait till Monday. One its good Friday and two Corey is going to the hospital. I read the posting on Facebook I hope they get better.
I'm braking down and buying my wife an Isuzu trooper so we can have time to work on the vehicle's.. That means I can send the computer in to bill.
Hope you all get if your reading this it seems they have been really sick.
