After getting the truck through the State's emissions test last week, and the dealer telling me they just put it on the computerized system and it passed, I was completely baffled about why there was a problem at the other 2 places. And so I asked a smart mechanic I know- he has my same name and looks a little like I did when I was a young man, if he had any inkling what might have caused the problem.
And he found a link- on a Ford truck forum that seems to explain the same problem I had. And this was the problem! My truck is rated higher than 8500 pounds GVW and that factor must be input into the computer emissions monitoring system! That is what the Ford dealer techs knew that the test center and the Firestone guys did not know. Simple if you just know what you're doing!
So thanks to the smart, young mechanic that pointed me in the right direction!
