Thanks for the responses guys.

 

I've wondered about this for a long time. My truck came from a dealer in Pittsburg, PA and for some strange reason, is CA certified. Yet my truck outruns my buddy's identical Federal certified truck that came from Cincinnati, OH. I think the label above the fan is just for certification purposes only. No performance difference.

Ruslow,

it's 7500 miles. At that point it's not considered new by dealer standards.

 

Sorry its been along time since I was Smog cert.

 

I checked the window sticker that came off my 2000. It only had destination charges. thery woer no additional charges or listing for CA Certification.

When I bought my 99, on the sticker it said CA emissions. And looking at my window sticker from the 2001 it says "California Emissions Systems NO CHARGE. So I got a front license plate holder drilled into my front bumper and Ca emissions for no charge. Geeee what a bargin!

On top of all of the above, i had to go to the scales and get a weight certificate. All this because that damn sticker didn't specify it to be in accordance with "CA" emissions requirements.
