    Is it legal?

    I did not miss the point, you did. Self inspection, DMV station inspection, private garage inspection, side of the road big truck inspection, going back 49 years, you can be pulled over for emissions no matter how your vehicle is registered, no matter if you have a current inspection sticker or...

    If your state enforcement decides not to enforce the law. Nobody said anything about the legality of it.

    Is it legal?

    Yes they can stop you. Just because you are self inspection doesn't mean you can't be stopped. It has always been like that. If they see a violation, you are getting pulled over. That applies to even state inspected vehicles. Just because you have a "good" sticker on your windshield doesn't mean...

    Is it legal?

    And the answer to that would be: Depends on how strictly your state enforces the law.

    Is it legal?

    Because the DEP sets the standards for the emission enforcement. That first link you posted had right on it State Police and DMV doing inspections on heavy trucks for emissions and safety. If you are throwing too much soot they have the power to nail you just as much as they can nail you for bad...

    Is it legal?

    Inspections are for both safety and emissions. You can be pulled over for either/or, and both. Depends on the your attitude towards the cop or what kind of day they are having. They can do a quick check and send you on your way or they can do an attitude adjustment on you have you there for hours.

    Is it legal?

    I am well aware that with self inspection you are subject to being pulled over and inspected on the side of the road. Since you know the area, they also used to flag trucks down on 206 in Bordentown where they had the Weigh Station in the median and do their inspections there. Nothing new. They...

    Is it legal?

    My '17 had personal plates. No inspection required. My '20 had personal plates. No inspection required. Both because of the weight I registered them at. When I got the '17 I even went to the inspection station and they told me the weight class is self inspection, they don't do inspections on them.

    Is it legal?

    There is one guy who I am sure is very happy for this technology. Story was on the news the other day about a guy who bought a lottery ticket at a convenience store he frequented. When the clerk saw him again she got all excited telling him he had a winning ticket. She pulled up video of him...

    Well, that would be because trucks over that weight are "self inspection".

    Whistling sound

    A lot of those air leak sounds come from air exiting the vehicle rather than air entering the vehicle. I read about a test they do for air leaks by using a bulb to blow small amounts of talcum powder around the door gaskets and when you open the door you would see some of the talc past the...

    New truck prices are insane

    I have three tractors and a mini excavator and not one has a title. The proof is just the receipt showing what I paid for it. I also have had four trailers and I received a title for one, but the others, the company issues a document that has the look of a title, but technically it isn't...

    New truck prices are insane

    Vs if we don't keep the current administration, you will see workers incomes go back to shrinking until they are back to minimum wage. Can't even buy junk vehicles making minimum wage.

    Issues with 2024 HD 2500 RAM

    Look into loaner vehicle from them or if you are covered for rental reimbursement. Otherwise, time for a different dealer.

    Issues with 2024 HD 2500 RAM

    Doesn't matter. Ram is still paying for whoever shows up. They are going to get tired of footing the bill for the same dead battery call. I have used road side before and never waited three hours. But to cover yourself call them at 2:00 AM. Then they will show up before it is time to leave for...

    Issues with 2024 HD 2500 RAM

    I thought Ram had road side assistance as part of their basic 3 year 36,000. Tell them to come jump every morning and maybe they will get the hint.

    WINDSHIELD DAMAGE

    Do they? Or do they break easier because some cheap company gave them specs to make them weaker and put more money in their pockets.

    Buying new truck, had to sign acknowledgment that connected services account can’t be activated?

    Buying new truck, had to sign acknowledgment that connected services account can’t be activated?

    I listened to Deep Tracks almost exclusively. I just canceled my XM because they sent a Change of Terms letter saying that if you sign up for a year or whatever, and you cancel before your year is up, they won't refund you, and they won't cancel you until the whole year is over. Now to see what...

    5th Wheel prep Install - 2022 3500

    Yeah, that was what I meant, not something like an electrical box. There are so many mechanics are, I wouldn't trust them to cut the holes in the right spot and apparently Ram doesn't either.

    Thought by now they would have "knock outs" marked in the bed floor since this is such a common option these days.

    WINDSHIELD DAMAGE

    I had a Dakota years ago and was coming up I 95 in VA and a dump truck pulled in front of me. The idiot had chunks of broken asphalt on the bottom lip of the tailgate. You guessed it, truck it a bump in the road and about a 2" chunk fell off and hit my hood and then the windshield. I tried to...
