Replying to: dan58 (Sep 07, 2005 5:59 pm) You want to post that question in the Ford F-Series: Problems & Solutions discussion. Alos, please turn off the CapsLock when posting - on the internet, that is considered shouting, and is also very difficult to read. kcram - Pickups Host

#44 of 391 Diesel Emissions Compliance by scocks Sep 11, 2005 (5:34 pm)
Not sure this is the right place to post this, but I bought a 2005 Silverado 2500 LT out of State and tried to register it in California. Am told it is Federally certified but not California certified emissions standard. Didn't even know emissions were an issue for diesels. Help! Please. Is there a way to make it California compliant?

Replying to: scocks (Sep 11, 2005 5:34 pm) I would go to a local Chevy dealer and ask if there is a fix to get CA certification. Another option is to register in another state where you have relatives that you can use their address. After the vehicle has 7500 miles it can be registered in CA. I am surprised they are restricting diesel PU trucks. Replies to this message: scocks (Sep 12, 2005 5:21 pm)

Replying to: joepajamas (May 30, 2005 1:10 pm) Who built the Engine, and Trans in the Dodge Sprinter. I have only herd good things about it, so someone else must have built it and put the Dodge name on it. any ideas who?

James, I too have a 6.oL ford 250 which hasn't given me good milage since day one. I would be appreciative learning what you have learned. My research with various manuf. and even a friend who works for ford has not been very productive. thanks for your input. lpreville Replies to this message: imafordfan (Jan 21, 2006 5:14 am) yrbender (Jan 23, 2006 3:35 pm)

Replying to: gagrice (Sep 11, 2005 7:41 pm) Already tried to local dealer. They have no idea how to fix because all the trucks they buy are ALREADY California compliant. Furthermore, now that the DMV has the VIN, they will not allow us to take it out of state and return it with 7500 miles. I still need someone who can tell me what the fix is. But thanks for your answer.

Replying to: f250diesel (Sep 12, 2005 6:53 am) The Sprinter engine is a 5-cylinder Benz, as the Sprinter is a European Mercedes design, adapted for North America. kcram - Pickups Host

Replying to: cflowers (Aug 30, 2005 2:41 am) Just curious if you would be willing to let me know what the programmer you are using is. Just got an 03 dodge and don't want to have to spend a lot of time searching. Thanks,
