in sj they dont do emission test on diesels.

That's far from the truth. Diesel engines have a smog test every year during the truck inspection.

We don't know what cats are in Tennessee No emissions here

here in Arkansas, every couple of years someone in the state legislature starts tossing around the idea of CA style emissions testing and luckily is never gets very far as the vast majority of the politicians are more worried about saving their jobs than saving the planet.

Same for us

Because it's pre 96 and under 18k GVWR. Saying pre 96 is exempt and saying all diesel engines are except is completely different.

When It comes to emissions regulations, I know them. I head a non-profit to change the CARB emissions plan, so bud, please, don't tell me.

the only problem i can see in the whole emissions thing.... is if it came with a cat and you don't run one ....you can be fined as much as 10k...for a gain around 5 hp....doesn't make sense...

Yea... and the fine for a muffler shop to hack em off is even higher. In my dad's later years in the workforce he worked for a cab company as a body man for their fleet and I happened to be there one day when the feds rolled up... many G-men from many agencies... anyways, they took a little round gizmo and were checking fuel filler tubes to see if any had been tampered with so that someone could stick the leaded gas nozzles in them. That was back when leaded gas was being phased out but widely still available. Late model cars just had a smaller hole than older vehicles. The fine was $20K per vehicle and most were tampered with... even the 30 or 40 State Police cars that were bought at auction and not even been put into service yet.

Yeah I always run them when I can due to that reason. But the majority of people around here don't run any.

Glad I live in Indiana it's a free state lol! I hope to be installing new exhaust in the near future and they'll be no cats.

IKR I dont have a kitty on my truck but when I redo mine I gotta feeling I may run into problems. Im starting to find its getting harder to fina shop to do an exhaust and not do cats
