more of a restrictor? haha that's the nice thing about KS, no emmissions!

and Minnesota no emmissions :jump:

pretty much. and like i've said before, its just a way for the state to get money......

but really how it works is; a test center will pay the state for a certain amount of tests, say 100 (this is how it works in CT, i dont know about other states). Now for those 100 tests, the test center will pay approx. $150 or so. now for every person that comes in, the test is $20 dollars. so after 8 tests, you've already made your money back (the test center) plus another $10! the rest goes to the test center as income.

but last time i knew there were almost 50 test centers in CT, only 7 do diesel, the shop i was at being one of them. as you can imagine we were ordering more tests every other week.

20 bucks? that's it? that's the price for a gas vehicle in denver area. the diesel pickup places want $65! then the big rig places want $120! and if you have a stack they won't test it.

:scare2::scare2::scare2::scare2:

WHAT THATS HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!!

and another $135 ish to the state for a dam sticker!

Dear EPA,

If your reading this, i would like to thank your for bending everyone with a diesel over for $20-$135 for a sticker....... have any of you actually been out in the field to see whats going on, besides listening to big universities??

sincerely,
every pissed off diesel owner in the U.S. :hellox:

no kidding! if it wasn't for those a$$ holes it might be cheaper. i'm pretty sure that gassers are worse for the enviroment. what's the opacity percents in CT?

the limit is 20ppm. the worst i've seen was a 5ppm reading. which was a 12v with a fuel plate, injectors, pump turned up, intake, exhaust, stock turbo..... new trucks (08) are at a 0-1ppm reading...

oh alright. the place i went to was in prcents. 35% smoke for a turbo diesel and 45% smoke for a non turbo. my 99 was at 4% at 80 MPH with a full load on the drums.
