      Seems to me, since you know it's off recommended specs but it runs great, you must have put it to 1 degree. This means you know that the truck does not run well at 7 degrees. There's a problem if it runs bad at 7 degrees. Fix the problem and get it back to 7 degrees and you should have no trouble with the emissions test.
