Been through that a few times, to the point where the ref and I were buddies. I am happy to be in Idaho now no emissions......
I have paperwork that shows my BII tailpipe emissions back in the late 90's with a 2.9 and 5 speed
Then same truck same emissions station tailpipe emissions with a 4.0 and auto
Then same truck same emissions station tailpipe emissions with a 5.0 and auto
The 5.0 BLOWS LESS EMISSIONS then both other earlier drivetrain's, even with two additional cylinders and more liters of displacement!
Why you ask? Because the 98 OBDII computer and emissions systems on the 5.0 are way more efficient then they were in 1988 and 1993
Eventually they stopped allowing me to get tested in CO, not due to the v8 but due to 35" tires...........so I would have to borrow tires smaller then a 35 if I wanted to renew my tags. BYE BYE CO!!! Now I can stuff 37's if I want
