I just got my registration renewal and I have to smog my LML. I thought we got a couple of years before we had to smog new trucks. Wonder if it's because it's a diesel?

The way I understand it... You will need to smog the truck every 2 years. You have had the truck now for almost 2 years now, correct?

Im every year, for some reason they always try and convince me that I have an egr delete when I dont have any emissions. Its always fun to put it on the street tune and do the throttle snap test and still pass. :D

A few years ago I built an early Bronco with a Ford 427 side oiler engine running about 600 hp. I took the registrasion for my 82 Bronco with me. The guy asked why it was so noisey and I said the cat had a hole in it. He passed it and told me to get the cat welded ASAP.:rofl:
