    Smog

    I just got my new PSD 6.0L. Am I required to get it smogged every two years like a gas motor?

    First 4 years, no car is required to get smogged unless it for change of ownership, then its every 2 years.

    Diesels are exempt period, unless its a fleet, then there is opacity tests required by the state.

    1stPSD,
    Personally I would not take it off.
    If you remove the cat and need service - Ford will be very upset.
    I am not sure what they will do, but when I asked my Ford service rep about installing a new exhaust and if they have any warranty issues if I do. His only response was "As long as you keep the cat on they don't mind."
