no interest? do i even get a welcome ? lol

 

Welcome. I don't live out there but I think you will be breaking the law by driving a deleted truck. Plenty of CA guys on here that should be able to give you the scoop. Have read about rolling smog checkpoints out there. Good luck.

 

If you are registered in NJ I doubt you'll have any issues.

 

I believe (may be wrong) but you are given 3 months before you will have to register your vehicle with California. You will have to take it in and have it inspected for sure. I know at the local scale house(Highway Patrol) CARB is starting to inspect commercial trucks(Rigs)but I haven't seen smaller trucks like ours get pulled in for inspection. (But I don't hang around waiting either, just drive on through) .Hope that helps.

 

as a student i can keep it registered in nj as long as im enrolled in a school in CA so i wont have to deal with CA registration or inspection. im just curious if i get pulled over and the cop wants to be a dick if he can give me a ticket even if im out of state ?

 

Would you be making smoke everywhere? That is a ticket, but as far as inspection on an out of state vehicle, the hosting state has no control over your vehicle. There will be no way to prove anything as they can't require a CA inspection for a lawfully registered NJ vehicle. The police have latitude to write citations for just about anything, but I doubt you will have issues as long as you don't draw attention to yourself doing something stupid.

 

and thanks for the input! heres my truck

 

Welcome to the forum. And nice truck.
As of Jan 1, 2015 emission testing In B.C. Canada will be no more

RIP AirCare

 

I would just leave it at home.

 

Welcome.
CA has random emission check points. If you get caught in 1 random emission check point (doesnt matter the plates you have) then youre screwed.

 

CA cannot require an out of state vehicle to adhere to CA emissions laws. They have no legal grounds for this.

 

Pick new school problem solved. MIZZOU you would be safe

As long long as the truck isn't tagged in in ca their laws don't mean shit.

 

Still the fact it's deleted is a FEDERAL law...don't draw attention to your self from the executive branch and you should be ok.

 

Like I said I built the truck for reliable power and fuel economy not to blow smoke. I can't really leave it behind because I'm towing a 40 foot trailer out there loaded with my junk. So I guess I'll take my chances on those smog check points

 

You should be ok. what part of the state will you be in?

 

I live in Ky went to a car show in Gatlinburg Tn I was pulled over for supposedly blowing black smoke but it was the truck in front of me when the cop pulled me over he told me if i had Tn plates he could write me a ticket but being out of state they could not to anything to me unless I was speeding. If you do get pulled over in Ca tell them your just visiting on vacation and don't change your drivers licence Good luck

 

I'm a OTR truckdriver and live in California. My rig is registered in Florida with Illinois plates and I'm subject to smog inspections by CARB.The laws were passed back in 2008.It doesn't matter in which state you are license in,If you get pulled in you will be cited. Its a federal law tampering with exhaust systems. Its not just a California law,they just seem to enforce it more.

 

There's a whole different set of laws and standards for commercial vehicles that don't apply to personal vehicles. Apples and oranges.

 

This applies for Canada also, kinda funny when it's - 40 out the EPA emission controlled trucks are parked , and the older trucks fly by them

That's why 2010 commercial trucks and personal vehicles both run urea??Federal smog laws are the same.Each state enforce differently.California will pass a law that the rest of the country will soon follow.

 

The EPA does not conduct direct enforcement of emissions laws on the consumer level. The EPA sets policy. The individual states enforce the federal statutes, but can only do so within their scope of authority. A lawfully registered and tagged vehicle from outside of California does not come under the umbrella of California law.

 

Its a federal law.Your best bet is looking up A.R.B enforcement.

 

CA can enforce its laws on out of state folks. Your 40' trailer is subject to a special stamp to pull it in California. Anything over a certain length requires a permit. CA blows when it comes to driving our rigs.

I would have to say going to school in some other location would be a drastic move but head that way at your own risk is all I can say. My buddy was pulled over in his 1999 7.3l F350 for pulling his bumper pull trailer that is 26 ft. The reason: He saw smoke come out of the truck and he wanted to verify the total length. We live in NM where if you have a gvwr over 10k your good for no emissions....That didn't matter. He ended up with a "fix it ticket". Which ended up in the next trash bin.

 

What's the permit I would have to get. The trailer has nj tags as well. It's only for personal use not commercial. Rules still apply?

 

Ill let you all know how this goes for me. Pulling a 34' fifth wheel into cali with a deleted truck in October. I look stock but never the less it will be interesting. I may have to practice 0-60 in 5 min no to blow smoke lol

 

Keep the rpms up manually by shifting it later. Can accelerate faster and cleaner :thumb

 

You will probably be OK, but don't blow smoke, have LOUD exhaust, and do crazy Sh*t, to draw attention. Keep the NJ tags up to date.

If NJ has Safety Inspection and/or Emission inspection to receive the new tags, it will be hard keep the tags current--!!

 

What do you mean look stock?

 

Stock exhaust
DEF tank still mounted
All connections inter the hood "appear" to be connected
