go get the truck tested for emmisions, just tell them you are selling it or something so they'll test it, even though it doesn't need it.

get the print out and check out the number, although you'll need a little bit of knowledge to understand the number.

but $16 for a dyno run, is well worth it, even if you don't get hp/tq numbers.

just thought i'd let you guys in on that secret

The last time I had my emissions tested they just tested idle speed and hwy cruising speed. How would this help you find out a/f's at WOT up to red line. Isn't that the info we want to check to make sure our tune's are safe?

Inspection this morning
Emissions: HC.......CO.......NOx.......
Test Limits.0.80....13.0.....1.80........
My baby...0.17.......0.4.....0.01.......

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN, WHO THE FRUCK KNOWS
but it seems to me the rings, valves, seals, and exhuast
are all doing their job, and sperting out nice clean fresh air

God I love driving this again
if only it was last week, I could have saved 20K
That comment was based on it being cold out that week and my jeep cherokee having schitty heat. So I went out and bought another new car. Now I have (2) 6 yr car payments, and I live in a shack, GO FIGURE...
