    well its been awhile since i updated. been trying to trace out an evap leak. ended up being the stupid gas cap! also had a few other issues that i got sorted out. anyway, finally got everything settled and made and appointment for this morning. i felt pretty confident about it all and guess what... she passed!!! got the sticker and im good to go. from now on in Californias eyes, im driving an 03 escalade!

    i want to say thank you once again for everybodys help. this site made it possible.

    here is it on the smog dyno. passed with flying colors.

    here hes under looking at the exhaust and all the EVAP stuff. he even was taking pictures with a digital camera... i for got to ask what the point of that was...

    and here is the most expensive and frustrating sticker i have ever obtained. lol but well worth it and id do it again now that i know the ins and outs of how it all works.


    i thought for sure they were gonna put it in the door jamb but he stuck it on the firewall.

    i will be taking a brake from upgrades for a little while. this whole swap really put a dent in my wallet and i need to recoop a bit. haha. but i still got plans for the future. but first thing i need to do is finish the paint job. its really irritating me seeing it the way it is. but ill still be lurking around helping whoever i can.

    and im going to hawaii next week for a week. im just glad i can be on vacation knowing my truck is finally legit! ahahaha
