2003 6.0 wont pass smog in CA. P1000 wont clear monitors

Hello everyone having a hard time here with this 2003 Excursion 6.0 it wont pass smog. It has no codes or symptoms. I just cannot clear the P1000 codes or get a Pass. I have tried doing the drive cycle perfectly to no luck. I have driven the truck for 500 miles. Ford hotline had me smoke test it and I found no leaks. the vgt learn strategy has passed. Hotline had me program it today using the tear tag incase there was any missing calibrations. I hope that works. anyone else experienced this? Thanks for any help in advance.

Gotta love California and Massachusetts, If North Carolina had diesel emissions testing, then there wouldn't be a truck on the road.

Only time I see a P1000 that won't clear is when it has been tuned. Reprogramming will eliminate that as the cause if it was....hopefully it isn't because customers tend to get upset when you erase their tuner programming...oh well...

Yeah he had a plug in program. I programmed it with a tear tag calibration and drove it 100 miles but i have a P0281 now and P1000 so i have to clear that misfire continous because now im sure that is causing the monitors not to clear. Hoping that does it.
