2003-2007 California Trucks will not pass emissions for Monitors not completed

[sag2]

This has been posted in several locations and involves a lifetime warranty extension and a recall so I thought I would put them both in one place for convenience. If your truck will not pass CA emissions inspection because the monitors have not run, some trucks are covered under a lifetime warranty extension, others under an emissions recall. If your dealer runs your VIN (you need complete VIN, not last 8 for the X29) on a VIP, it will show the X29 warranty extension under warranty coverage, and the K01 recall under the recall section. This is for California Emissions only.

I had the K01 done but the procedure fried my ECM. The dealer had to install a Mopar reman'd. The receipt came back as a 2007 6.7 auto! I had them smog it while it was in there. Mine's a 5.9 G-56.

Thank you Stan.
I know New York State is moving towards a OBDII diesel test possibly on top of the opacity test, so this issue will be spreading.

Ugh. I hate bigger government overreach.

Government is always trying to stamp out diesel trucks in California, they are trying to push everybody to Electric Vehicles.

CT does connect to the OBDII port when performing emissions test which I think is just for opacity ? Perhaps they are getting vehicle ID, RPMs. In the larger context, is it a possibility that emissions requirements for individual states will change such that 3rd generation diesel trucks ( '03-'07 ) will no longer be able to pass ?

Until exchangeable batteries or 5 minute recharges are developed it'll never happen.

As you are properly aware new emission standards are coming to California either '21 or '22 older diesel trucks will not be able to pass.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that this only for commercial use vehicles.

I dont know about cal. But usually when new emission standards are put in place, the older cars/trucks are grandfathered in. You just have to meet the standard that was in place when it was new.

As with gassers, pre OBDII are given a pass. I doubt a stinky 12 valve will get a pass.

Yes, the California law applies to >=14000 lb. ( Class 4-8 ), but I've seen that other states are starting to require more stringent emissions testing for our class trucks. I read recently that one state is starting to look for non-original equipment ( i.e. programmers ), but I can't find which state. I wonder if history is a guarantee of being grandfathered these days. Lot's of talk about countries banning diesel although German has actually forbid older ones ( e.g. Tier 4 ) from certain cities.
