Mannnn I really want to delete this truck of mine. Heres the issue I live in California. So, Is it dumb/ too much of a pain to pull this stuff off and reinstall it when my smog time comes around. Doesn't seem too hard especially since i don't have DEFF. And theres tons of kits out there. I know, i should find a "good smog" guy. So far no luck with that...... oh and my warrantee is over so no worries there. 40k miles and now 5yrs old!

I've always wondered about this especially for people who have to register the truck in another state because of change of residence. Does the truck get inspected as a one time thing?

when i bought it about 6 months ago smog was required and the seller smogged it. So i didn't get to see it. But as far as I know its a visual inspection only. And every two years

since you have a 2012 you dont have to remove everything to be deleted. you can get a simple delete pipe and just remove the DPFand Nox canisters from teh exhaust. the tuner will disable the EGR so you can leave it in place.

Cali measures what comes out of the tailpipe for smog inspections.

What about the TV? If heard it's better to just remove that.

You can't delete anything here in California. You can have a legal tuner and anything you do has to be CARB compliant. They also perform a visual inspection on diesels. DPF/EGR has to be there.
