F250 delete

[Cribb]

A friend of mine may be moving here from TX. He has a deleted F250. Will that pass inspection?

I have no idea. Don’t have one or know crap about them.

Thanks

Diesel trucks in NC are only subject to safety inspection. Not smog testing. Now a inspector could see it has been deleted and say something not sure he can enforce anything though.

Like it was said above the most that “could” happen is the inspector notices that the exhaust is not factory. To most it’s a non issue but some may be an ass about the DPF system not being in place yada yada. Should be no issue though.

as long as there isn’t a check engine light, i doubt most would even notice or care

And as of this year, there are some counties that have eliminated emissions inspections regardless of year or GVRW.

It is illegal to remove any federally-mandated smog equipment from any vehicle. No car SHOULD pass the visual inspection if anything is removed.

However, as some have said...the odds of someone doing a safety inspection noticing or caring are not great.

^^ except when it’s a significant financial burden that it’s not practical. Hence why select financially depressed counties in NC have eliminated emissions testing as part of inspections, even on new vehicles.

Its still a federal crime to remove the equipment wether you live in a smog exempt county or not.

But the odds of anybody caring doing the inspection is low.

And I may be wrong but aren't the first three years of a brand new vehicle safety tests only even in emissions counties?

as far as I recall yes. And yes removing factory emissions stuff is federally illegal, but unlikely to be noticed during a safety inspection.

I thought this would be a thread about someone getting rid of their Ford

It's a Federal crime to fake a hate crime, too. Just saying.

Me, too, quite disappointed it didn't happen.

Civil penalty, not criminal. Nobody goes to jail JUST for violating the Clean Air act.
(assuming we're talking about an owner removing their own)

I never said jail.

No, but you said crime . Technically, it's not. It's a civil offense.

Ok I guess you got me.
