Default Chrysler/Roush emissions testing?

Anyone else get a letter regarding this? Anyone gone through with it? Wondering about your experience? Searched here, couldn't find anything. Thanks, -Al

What's this for? Just normal testing or something special?

I think it's a special program Roush Industries has been contracted for, though the letter apears to be directly out of Chrysler. They want my truck for several days, say that it will receive no more than 75 miles on it, will give me a late model loaner for that time period. They pay 500. for my trouble.

There's more to it, I just don't want to type it all out. Was hoping maybe somebody here may know more about it.

Thinking the fact I live here in the Detroit metro area may have something to do with the reason not everyone get the letter? Dunno.

When my headers become loose around the flanges, I throw cat efficiency codes. I would ensure everything is tightened down. If your exhast is stock engine to cat, you should be fine.

The note makes it sound like Dodge may be interested in how the factory systems are holding up as they age. They do mention any repairs they think may be required will be done at their expense. There are no testing laws here in Mi. Guess I'll check into it further. Will post anything interesting. Meanwhile, if anyone else has been through this, please share your experience!

Thanks much, -Al

No letter here, but my exhaust is redneck as **** and would probably not pass emissions test for a factory, hahaha.
