California Smog Inspection

[907DAVE]

That's pretty scary stuff!

The rumor is that they will be testing up here in 2012, but in the meantime they are going to start testing everyone's furnace.
Heck there are already cat converters you can buy for your house if it doesn't pass.

For the gassers it is a visual and tailpipe test. If ANYTHING has been changed on your engine or exhaust (pre-cat) without a CARB # it is an automatic fail, regardless if tailpipe emissions. Explain that!

My question is for our diesels, what if the engine is all stock and fails the tail pipe emission test (NOX), or opacity test, or whatever they do?

There really is nothing you can do about it, there was no emission control devises on there to begin with, less the CCV.

And what about the Dodge guys with the "road draft" system?

Damn eco-****
Ok....rant over.
