No, they look at the engine and make sure it has all the required equipment on it and that it hasn't been "tuned." Generally, a regular smog shop isn't going to touch it, the first time around. It would most likely end up at a referee station. There a couple of things they would look at on the actual truck as well. For instance if it is suppose to have the smaller nozzle opening for the gas fill.
