Smog Father San Pedro
I went to the Smog Father in San Pedro with my 2008 6.0 about 6 months ago.
After inspecting it for a while I believe he was not very confident as to what all it needed and asked me a few questions that made that pretty clear.
Everything is bone stock and it Passed OK.
My recent CA SMOG check experiences have been with techs that took their job surprisingly seriously, especially on the van. I had one check all my evap lines, and after nearly 30 minutes, comment that while they weren't in the stock location, I had in fact manage to connect them all correctly.
I'd fully put an EGR delete back before going to an unknown CA SMOG test. That seems like the sort of thing they would explicitly look for.
My California Express van failed a smog test because the smog technician couldn't see the numbers on the aftermarket catalytic converter! Temporarily solved it by taking it to another smog test station with a skinnier technician. I will be replacing the converter next year.
