won't pass snap test CA.

[Bob4x4]

Man I am glad we don't have any of that BS here in the South

Famous last words..... It will be 50 state soon enough

California is on the "cutting edge " of screwing over the rest of the 49 states

Yeah but we live in little one horse towns that could care less

Big brother coming to that one horse little town. When you see black helicopters better put that cat back on

Mine failed last time just because the exhaust wasn't hot enough (even after the ten mile drive to the testing station). Operator told me to drive to a local town and back (30 minutes) and try again - at which point it passed fine.
What a goofy test.

If it ever happens, unlikely though, i do have the cat setting on the shelf in the shop

Yet..........

Yet..........

yet is the operative word here.
Once the feds get there hands in it it's just a matter of time.
Technically it already is a federal offense to remove any emissions equipment. The only reason nothing has happened yet is because the states are responsible for enforcement. little bit of a disconnect between the two.
I can remember back in '79 I had one of those BIG Broncos witha 400M 2bbl dog. Took all the smog junk off. Changes the cam, timing gears (factory was retarded 5*), intake to an edlebrock 4bbl, holley 650 vac secondary, headers and dual exhaust (cat delete). Lived in Maryland. 2 years later they started emissions inspection every year. With all the do dads I did to the engine it picked up 7 mpg and took the 1/4 mile times from 17.4 to 13.8. stuff the emissions probe in the tailpipe and you'd think the thing was running on propane it was so clean. BUT it would fail visual inspection. Once it does that there are NO waivers! There is no limit for $$$$ to bring it back to stock visually. Either you make it stock or they pull the tags. Pretty simple really. luckily I kept all the factory visual garbage so every year off came the headers and duals on went the factory manifolds and exhaust w/cat. painted the intake ford blue and tossed on the factory air cleaner. "looked" factory enough to get through. Our day is a coming! Unfortunately! It'll happen it's just gonna take the feds awhile to figure out how to enforce it. If they hold back state highway funds for non-compliance then you can make book enforcement by the states will happen and will be strict.

Emission test here in Ontario for 3500 requires snap(to govenor for 2-3sec) with sniffer. With Jr set to stock and POD at 40% (was trying to slow down the ramp up time a couple of secs, and possibly limit max rpm to 2800 or so). No matter how low the POD is set it does not change how quick the engine revs to gov when pedal is mashed as the tester does.

I don't think pod works when you are set to stock. Only available on sw1-3.

Run the pod at 20 and you will be surprised how slow the ramp up is.......

correct so I ran it on economy

I know the testing is coming, that is one of the reasons I bought an early 2004, no cat and less emissions BS. I hope that the way I just built my motor it will pass with flying colors and still have a lot of get up and haul *****. By the way anyone catch the "Rolling Coal" on inside addition last night? Those morons make us all look bad ;(

 

[AH64ID]

I am glad I don't have smog here (yet).. would probably beat someone that floor-boarded my truck for 2-3 seconds in N.

I could probably write a UDC tune that limited it to around 2700-2800 rpms..

Your truck would fail in Cali

Anyone recall WV was the last state to enforce any seat belt laws? And they only did so for the highway fund threat. Bribed by their own collected taxes... :-laf

They do the WOT crap here too. When I said something about over revving the eng the operator told me that I have a governor and it can't happen. I told him the Gov. was electronic - not manual and it can and will overshoot redline by a wide margin if you just stomp on it.
I warned him that it will throw a code if he goes too far and that I will hold him liable for the required eng tear down. He seemed to take it a bit easier after that.

Not that I'd want to see it happen to anyone but it would be kinda cool to see an operator ventilate the oil pan and then try to explain 3 gallon of oil (and misc. parts) on the floor.
Begs the question though...would that be a pass?

 

[Bob4x4]

I have yet to see a street driven cummins blow by a snap idle test. Here in Cali the testers are instructed to test first so as not to above 3k during the test

Bob4X4,
Just curious, why would my truck fail? it runs cleaner than it did before and did not come with a cat from the factory .
