MODERATORS
Not in California. They wouldn't be able to drive it due to annual emissions checks.
You think these guys are too dumb to pass inspection?
Have you met the average Ram driver? They're usually too inebriated to have coherent thoughts.
They didn't say "smart". The bar for being able to pass inspection on your vehicle is pretty low!
I bet every single one of them is a better mechanic than you.
Ah this must be the incredible conservative business acumen I keep hearing about
That’s nice sweetie, now let’s get you back to church where you can foam at the mouth and rave about other mens genitals all you want
Fucking lol
I bet I can park my car better than every single one of them.
Yes, but being able to remove the douchebag tune from your truck long enough to pass emissions requires mechanical ability, not parking acumen, so your response just looks silly.
And that's what is done in states that have yearly emissions tests. There's probably a setting for it in the tuner.
Found the dodgy ram driver
You have no idea how CA does emissions. It's incredibly strict.
You have no idea how bolt-ons work - it's incredibly easy to swap.
Yes, CA definitely doesn't scamln the ECU and force you to have driven a set distance to set the ECU. And it's definitely not a common issue even for enthusiasts using legal mods. Definitely no chance.
So how does that work, there is a truck auditor of some sort?
Every year in states that have safety and emissions testing, you have to bring your vehicle in to be inspected before you can renew your license plate/window tags to be registered to drive on the road. If you fail inspection, you need to remedy the issue and get tested again. You can't drive the vehicle without registration, so you have to correct it or risk fines for driving with expired registration. Inspections are usually $5-15 in most states.
