Aren't all 5.7 Ram's 50 state compliant ?
I have an interested buyer in California...I'm 99% sure they are compliant but I need to be sure.

There is but I'm away from my truck for a while. I think they're all 50 state legal but I can't pop the hood and look at the moment.

All the ads I find online that mention emissions state that they are 50 state legal.

I'm finding the same. I can't imagine them building 2 different emission systems these days. Doesn't seem cost effective at all.

As long as there isn't a different cat or any other modifications to the emissions systems that aren't California compliant, there's no problem. If you are replacing emissions parts in California, they must be CARB (California Air Resources Board) certified. If it's original equipment, there's no problem.

They are all 50 state legal. It's the mods that become CARB non-compliant.
The LTs definitely will not pass smog... But there are ways around that. ;)

I'll be removing the ARH's, TB and intake. He's not much of a performance guy and I don't want him to have any issues. The intake is CARB legal but not worth the hassle to him. The only performance mod that would stay would be the Maggy cat back.

The Maggy is not an issue at all.

I'm in Louisiana. We don't have all the emissions standards. As long as we have good insurance working lights and a good windshield we're good.

We can thank the state of California for all of our neutered engines
