I had to smog my truck last week, a 2007 2500 4X4.
Everything was fine till he noticed the aftermarket fuel pump. The airdog.
No way would he pass it unless I returned it to stock. I almost wanted to hit him, especially after he cost me half a day in wages already.

Took it 10 blocks away to a Chinese guy who never even noticed it, thank God.

Beware.

 

Maybe I am dense, and surely I am glad that I live in a state that isn't so restrictive. But, why would the fuel pump matter?

 

It would matter cause the guy doing the inspection is a moron.

 

Thats the same when I had to do a out of province inspection on my truck...The front drive shaft needed replacing so I took it out...I called a place and they said they would fail it because of the missing front drive shaft..I said instead of it being a 4x4 its a 2wd..The guy was a idiot...The other place asked me if I was going to replace it and I said yes..He said that good...Passed...

 

Pls tell me where you went the 2nd time!

 

19th and Judah, SW corner. Get the guy who cant speak English
Where are you located?
I'm on 20'th, btw R and S

 

I'm in the excelisior not far from mission and silver. I used to see a dark grey '05 parked on vicente and 19th from time to time.

 

Here's mine and my in toolbox custom made aux 75 gal fuel tank

We are working on the sewer project on Cesar Chavez so you may see it parked there sometimes

 

Thats wierd they failed you. I have airdogg 2 and it is C.A.R.B compliant and legal. Ca diesel emissions is a joke

 

It's all about who you go to. My truck has no muffler, but still has a cat. I've got aftermarket guages, and the guy didn't even look under the truck at all, or even pop the hood. He started it up, revved it up a couple times, looked for smoke, and said "That'll be $59.95 for smog and certificate please". Took him all of 3 minutes. Diesel smog is the worlds biggest joke. If Semi tractors don't have to smog, why should a full size truck that is diesel?

 

CARB's working on the offroad equipment emissions next. Consequently,more biz will leave. Way to go.
