Need help passing CA SMOG!
Hi folks. So I Need to pass smog before the end of January before I can register my truck. But unfortunately for me I threw away my stock air filter and housing. Right now I have a 6 inch amsoil cone BHAF which I don't believe any smog station will pass. My question is, would anybody be willing to let me borrow theirs to get through the inspection. I'd be very grateful and will promptly return. You can PM me or email Jhobbselectric@gmail.com

It shouldn't be long before this stupid law is amended because there is WAY to many shops who have no clue what they're doing, know whats required per year truck, and to add insult to it all, the law leaves most discretion to the shop tech. Great idea legislation.....

Well I found a shop that didn't hassle me about the air filter. But he wasn't sure about my trailer brake controller under the dash, the commander gauges, or the wire i had running across the engine compartment for the transmission manual lockup switch i installed. I had to explain everything to him and how it worked. He was nervous about everything. I can't blame the guy, if the state finds him negligent for passing a polluter they can fine him with the minimum fines starting at $1000 all for a smog check that he profits $20 on. He almost failed me cause the truck blew out some smoke, luckily it cleared within 3 seconds. This law is so stupid and pointless. How can you pass smog laws on trucks that just smoke all the time, and more as they get older?
