Having lived in Cali all my life I have to agree with some of the other posters comments....however, that being said there isn't another state I would live in...
OK....we have the smog police here, and being the owner of an on road diesel, it gripes me that Cali is considering smogging the early ,99 and above trucks. This is one of the reasons I bought a diesel. I only own 1 car now that requires smog.
I just don't see how they are going to smog these trucks. First off my truck didn't come from the factory with a cat, or EGR...let alone a DPF. It's even got an open crankcase breather pipe from the factory. So I meet all the requirements for that year. The reason Cali is starting with the 99 year is because Dodge/Cummins went to electronic injection pump controls from 98 1/2 on...and I believe Ford had an EGR around then. But we still have open crankcases...I wouldn't own a truck newer than 06 just because of the emission controls they choke them to death with...just look at the lack of fuel mileage these new trucks get. But then they do have some power/torque....but that's another topic....

And yet another diesel capable of blocking the sun, and smokin the ricers...
