Jack,

That is a great unknown right now, at least up in this area. Depending on which DMV you talk to, you will get completely different answers. Kind of like when my neighbor had to take his pick up in to be tested. It has no smog stuff on it except the catalytic converters and they have never tested diesel engines before so we were wondering what they would do for a test. He said they opened the hood, looked at the motor for a few seconds, asked him if he had changed the chip in the computer and then stuck the sniffer in the tailpipe and wrote down the reading and told him he was ok. I think that is more a money thing than any attempt to make the vehicles run clean. And their law is contradicting itself as they have a law that you can't modify the engine, yet to make them run cleaner than when they were new and met those standards it will take a lot of modifications on some vehicles that pass their original requirements.
