Re: Project 73 k10

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

Re: Project 73 k10

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

Re: Project 73 k10

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
