So what are this inspections for? Is it the smog checks we have in Cali?

Oh and corey, if ya ever need the truck passed I have a buddy that works at a dealership. Usually the ol' $20 handshake does the trick! just as long as there isn't any SES lights on.

Once a year you have to take your vehicle to a shop or dealership or inspection station and they do a quick safety check (signals, mirrors, lights, etc...) and will plug up to your cars OBDII port and check for codes/sensors not ready. They also check your gas cap to make sure it functions properly. Some places will drive your vehicle around the block to check the brakes and tires and stuff too.

My cutout gave me problems in getting mine inspected at a place.

Went to a local place and all he did was turn on the harads and check my milage. lol

I am glad we do not have emissions down here. I have friends that do inspections. I bring them all kinds of business.
