Thanks for the quick responces.

I knew about the possibility of the engine tick and from what I read here and knew in general I wasn't to concerned if it had it or not. As always I'm good with periodic maintenance except my current DD, F250, bit me in the a$$ with this emissions deal. What was legal for years is now illegal even though the truck is near mint with 109k on the truck and 25K on the crate motor.

96isuzoom, you hear anything on if/when emissions tests are going to reach allentown? Milford is 2-3 hours straight north and Pike county is starting to phase in strict emissions guidelines similiar to CA. Motor swaps, vehicle age , and overall conditions are really going to be problems up here and soon across the state if it gets approved. I am all for clean air I just am mad that its w affecting my only two vehicles at the sme time. Oh well can't have both and in the long run I would rather have a cleaner enviroment, cars can be replaced. Sucks to be broke.

Hopefully this Rodeo is all stock exhaust/emissioins wise and meets the guidelines for 1996. See what happens Sat.

Thanks again
Craig
