My 20-year-old Tacoma just passed smog again

They put it on a dyno? Both times I've had mine smogged in LA these last 4 years they never put it on a dyno. Maybe I should keep going there lol

 

What year is your Tacoma? Mine is a '96.
Depends on the year of your truck, I think 2001 and newer they plug in to the OBDII port and not use the dyno.

 

Yep mine wasn't on a dyno either and was just to download info off the ECM Port

 

Ah ok that makes sense, yeah mine's an 04

 

Only in Kommiefornia do you have to put up with such stupid bullshit. I can't believe that not having a specific "sticker" would fail an emissions test. Here in NC, they don't even pull the truck into the garage. There is a wireless system they use, and presto, my truck is done, and I'm on my way, after my $30.00 payment. They send the test results directly to the DMV, so that I can get my tag at a later date. This year, I'm going to watch how they do it. Last year I was just sitting in the waiting room waiting for them to pull my truck inside, when the came in a said, All Done.

 

My last ComiFornia smog was just a plug in, no sniffer. But I'm sure I would pass a sniffer, at 260,000 miles, original exhaust, S/C, larger injectors. If I twin charge thats going to be the big accomplishment.

 

I go to a place up here in the High Desert called Mom's Smog . They specialize in vehicles with Superchargers or other power adder or aftermarket parts . I was referred to this place from a neighbor who has a Ford Lightning

It took the smog tech less than 10 minutes to smog test my truck

 

Nope. Mines a 96 and it just got plugged into OBDII. Same with my 97 4Runner. My smog guy doesn't even have a dyno. For the record the Taco passed with the original cats and 336,000 miles. lol
