Re: Smog Test With A Different Twist

Do they remove the air cleaner lid? If not stick an oily rag in the air cleaner. YA DIDN'T HEAR FROM ME!!!

Remove the plugs and soak them in oil.

Re: Smog Test With A Different Twist

Do a burnout in front of the office as soon as you leave? That's very highly frowned upon here... Not sure how i found out... Lol

Re: Smog Test With A Different Twist

Been in SoCal my whole life, seen 1000s of vehicles that wont pass smog. But Ive never heard of anyone trying to fail a smog test on purpose. Isnt your truck worth more than a $1000? Parting it out should make more money. Im slow, I dont understand..

Re: Smog Test With A Different Twist

You might not make it there if you are pouring diesel or Kero in the tank. If it's a V8 simply swap #5 and #7 wire positions on the cap. You will fail.
