Just go my first smog since I've owned my Dodge pickup. Passed with flying colors (what ever that means, I've heard it a lot over the years). I'm a happy clam now. I'll post some #'s when I get back from the doc (got to see if I'll pass with flying colors too).

Atta boy. Where I'm at in California, they are STRICT. I had an 87 fifth avenue with a preheater hose that I didn't see had damage. He was going to fail me unless I could run to the liquor store around the corner and buy one and be back before the test was over.

Of course they were hyper inflated at the liquor store

But boy you should have seen this fat kid (I was 16?) run. I made it though. The guy looked disappointed I was able to make it back in time hahaha

I was given just as clean a bill of health as the truck. I guess we're both happy campers.
For those of you who wanted pics. Here's a few.

Good job on keeping yourself healthy and keeping the truck smog legal. I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that where I live... I have seen a few engine and interior pics of your truck but don't think I have ever seen a full body shot.. I would love to see the rest of it because the engine and interior look very nice..

That's cool that it passed...

Yah, go figure. Nothing was said about my home built air cleaner either. But the tech. did say it was one of the cleanest engine compartments he'd seen in a while. He really liked the truck!
