Teller is not in the emissions zone for gas or diesel... YET. Diesel Vehicles | Department of Revenue - Motor Vehicle - https://dmv.colorado.gov/diesel-vehicles
The EPA has sounded the warning bell, just a few weeks ago: Colorado Springs 3-year air quality average beyond federal standards - https://gazette.com/premium/colorado-springs-air-quality-below-fed-standards/article_d84013c8-19d4-11ee-a369-53f6c9c82199.html
I expect when they take action to sayv teh plannit, it won't just be for the Springs - it'll be to move the whole state under one emissions program... and I expect that will be soon.

Not yet, but it is Kalirado so just give them time to convince themselves they are smarter than everyone else on this topic too.

Yeah I figured. Wondering if it’s worth keeping the old 80 if I swap it or if I’ll have to sell it eventually. Although I see some of the worst running vehicles you’d ever imagine too, so who knows.
So when I registered my diesel swapped 60, it got registered as a gas. Dude at the dealership doing the vin verification asked if it was gas. I played stupid and just said I was unsure if it was gas or diesel. So he went off of the vin which was gas. Now when El Paso makes gas engine need emissions testing, I will probably just register it in a different state.
I don't see Teller going to emissions anytime soon. Too many ranchers needing diesel to haul.

That’s a good point. We’ve been through that area so many times, but never thought what it would actually be like to live there. Probably headed back for a look see soon.
Getting tired of KS and the area we’re in. Plus, with a kid hopefully on the horizon in the next few years, we want somewhere with more outdoor activities, instead of an 8 hour drive. 98% of KS is privately owned, and all the tiny amount of public land is full of hunters in the temp range we like hiking and camping.
I'm up in Teller County. I remember the emissions routine back when I lived in Douglas County and don't miss it a bit.
Fingers crossed that the environmental agenda-driven profit-center nut jobs will just let us be.
