Too heavy for smog dyno ?

Subject line covers it. Hoping this is the proper Forum.
I was browsing around on another website, sorry, about solar setups in their vehicle.
One guy chimed in to state that the weight of his rig , mostly due to batteries, was too heavy for the dyno.
Anyone here have that problem?

When I lived in CA, there was no dyno-based smog testing on diesels, only a rev test where they revved the engine and looked for black exhaust. Has that changed, even though the state said it wouldn't?

I've run into the weight issue with some stations. One of them did have a "light duty vehicles only" sign up.

Just keep calling around until you find one that can deal with a full-sized van.

Also, make sure all your emissions monitors are ready before you go.
