Ok so ive been out of the loop for a while after I sold my 6.0 (thankfully) and got a nice 99.5 crew cab for a steal. Truck runs and drives great (no mods, yet). The problem lies with the fact im almost 100% sure this truck didnt come with a cat and the emissions techs at both ford and a emissions shop are saying it requires one. The information I have is the motor build date of 12/13/1998, the passenger side valve cover with no OC (oxidizing catalyst? ) notation and the exhaust which I presume is factory (diameter, bends etc) and the dealer not being able to pull anything off of the vin, the guy I talked to said its on a visual basis whether it had one from the factory. Im also in UT if that makes a difference. So am I wrong and misinformed about what I thought I knew about emissions or are the techs trying to get $500 out of me? Any input/help is greatly appreciated.
