something to do with the carb i beleive just cant get it tuned right

renegade6 · 12-30-2009, 03:51 PM

Their used to be places that would guarantee to get you to pass smog. May be worthwhile to pay someone to tune it.

70 beast · 12-30-2009, 10:43 PM

my buddy had to get his carb tuned and if i remember it wasn't too much. something like $65?

phx 4x4 · 01-04-2010, 03:56 PM

that dam emissions place wanted to charge 700 bycks to get it to pass i said hell no so now idk what to do to get it to pass. goin to take it to see if i can get a one year pass

renegade6 · 01-04-2010, 09:28 PM

Shop around at another place. It is probably a carb adjustment or something simple.

70 beast · 01-04-2010, 11:43 PM

holy cow thats alot!

id definitely shop around!

phx 4x4 · 01-05-2010, 07:29 PM

ya i shoped around a little but didnt find much all the shops were prety far away

70 beast · 01-06-2010, 12:51 AM

how did it run with the old carb on it? emissions wise?

phx 4x4 · 01-06-2010, 05:48 PM

it passed the carbonmonoxide but had alot of tunning done wich i think this one could have the same tunning done and make it pass but still cant pass the hydro carbons

Hoods69BadBowTie · 01-06-2010, 11:47 PM

Wow sweet truck I like it. Keep up the good work

Looks like its in good shape too nice score. Yea emissions suck bad so glad live in MT we don't even have to deal with that crap lol

700$ is crazy to get it to pass but good luck man!:

70 beast · 01-07-2010, 12:45 AM

phx 4x4 · 01-15-2010, 04:19 PM

I have been quite bussy the last few weeks so havent gotten to work on her but am planning on getting started in a day or so

arkracing · 01-16-2010, 10:42 PM

Even if the truck doesn't require a cat, why not just put a couple of the cheap aftermarket ones on it? Make them removable so that you can take them off after you get it through emmissions.

1. Make sure that the truck is at full operating temp when they test it.
2. Change the oil - it actually does help
3. Throw a couple cans of dry gas in the tank and put some 91+ ocatane fuel in it.

Where I am anything over 25 years is exempt from emmissions, but I've had to deal with it on some of my newer stuff and the aboved helped me.

The biggest thing is that the truck is at full temp before testing
