California engine questions

Does the silence mean absolutely no one knows lol? I would have sworn it mean you just couldn't idle in CA if it didn't meet Clean Idle Air, but I also think I've heard you can't cross the state line unless you meet 2007 emissions.

 

Here is a link to the CARB Document on what is compliant now, won't be in a few years, as well as what is no more. There are links to updates that are not reflected on it.

In California you must have a truck that has a dpf filter. It dose not matter the year of truck as long as the filter is in place. That being said putting a dpf filter on an older truck is asking for problems. The engine was not designed for it and the back pressure causes problems. The only other way to enter is by using the limited use clause which is only good for 1000 mi a year.

 

Really ? Mine hasn't had absolutely no issues, but I have a CAT.

To the OP, roll the dice, I haven't seen any enforcement for awhile, and to answer your question, I think it's 07 engine. I have 94 Pete and am running the aftermarket DPF.

 

Then your lucky had 2 trucks blow their motors because of back pressure they also had cats

 

That's why you need this gauge/meter to measure pressure and heat

Im pushing around 600hp with a tune and a turbo to match it. I put the tune in and turbo. Like building your own performance set up. Plus, I don't have a heavy foot, it's only used when necessary(it's fun to go up a hill and stay on the passing lane). I'm basically set up pretty much max out cause of CARB. I could get a lot more but a man has to know his limitations.
