I've looked at the state's web page, and it didn't really clarify the issue. I was hoping someone here knew more about it.

I use to live in CA a couple yrs ago, and from what I can remember...either 06 or 07 and up you can't do anything to your truck...all diesels that require a smog came with a special exhaust tip that looks like the end of a rocket for CA rigs only...you have 2 choices;
1. Move out of CA like I did, no smog here in NM and the lowest property taxes in the country...hell, you can get 10 acres here for only 24K.
or 2. Get a pre diesel smog truck
From my understanding the smog check of diesels only effects the 06 or 07 and up trucks sold in CA...Funny thing, I was at performance shop getting parts for my old classic when a fellow at the counter who just bought a brand new crew cab HD and was bragging about the 12K he saved was jaw dropped to learn when the counter help told him that he can't buy ANY performance mods, nothing was available.
In my opinion, CA suck the royal one and I will never, I mean NEVER EVER go back to the pocket sucking state again
