You get the dyno test. It's a smoke test. They put the truck on a dyno. Run it up to about 45 mph and see how much smoke you make.

No need to worry.If a modified PSD can pass this, you will pass with no problems.

here in arizona they just do a snap test for opacity the max is like 4ppm iirc and mine with a turned up pump passed with .4ppm . just tell them you want to do the test and they can't object, just remember they cant tell if it is quite full throttle so back off a bit

oh yea and a little (2 bottles) rubbing alcahol will never get noticed not sure how i know that

Don't forget 20 bucks to the Rell fund if you pass or fail.

See if you can fill up with a load of at least B20 to help you pass. It depends on the state, but most states that do diesel emissions testing do that snap throttle opacity test.

Could always turn your pump down a few flats for the test

For sure I would never let any of those boneheads operate my vehicle at a test station after a friend of mine had his truck leave one on a tow truck after the idiot jammed the transmission into two gears at once somehow Luckily, no testing at all so far in this state

None in FL either, but don't know how long it'll last since Charle Crist and some in the gov't want us to be "green" in the vein of CA and others.

I live in CA and I've never had to get a smog test on a diesel.....yet.

Here in CT there is no need to use additives or play with the pump. Unless the truck will totaly fog out the building.
