Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I love NY . State passed a law that you need to have factory exhaust on vehicles to pass inspection. Cars and trucks the station are letting them slide a little as long as it not excessive. Bikes they won’t even look at them if they are aftermarket . Glad I kept the originals for my bikes . Now my bikes aren’t super loud nice rumble down low but as soon as the station sees the pipes it’s a no go

here in Idaho we did have testing ,but only for Boise and surrounding close cities ,, I tried 6 times to pass and couldnt satisfy them ,,and finally after them tries ,,they did away with testing ,, I spent around a $3 thousand on cats muffler tail pipes ,carburater ,, and still could not pass ,,and did not have the stuff that came with the truck to put back.. New York should at least give the rural people a pass ..

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
2022 but since they didn’t put any funds into the bill the police can’t really enforce it . So they are making private citizens (inspection techs) do their dirty work

New York there’s no emissions testing on 25 years or older vehicles . Just a safety inspection

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Oh man. I don't envy you.
I put the wife's Yukon in the shop last week to have the rear main seal replaced and the dash pulled out to repair the drivers side temp control. It blows hot on drivers side and cold on drinkers side. We were just on an out of state trip weekend before last and it wasn't pleasant behind the wheel I'll tell ya. We just got back from picking the truck up a few minutes ago. They did everything except the most important thing, fix the ac. Miscommunication it seems. So we had to leave it again. Mama is NOT happy, therefore I am NOT happy. We are having 97-99* temps this week. Sucks not being able to do the things I used to do.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Drove the 68 stepper to the store today and got gas . The truck is averaging 16.75 mpg over the last 4 fill ups . Not bad for a 4.57 rear imagine if it had some higher gearing. I’m happy

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That exhaust law would be a tough one for me. Glad you had the parts to put your bikes back to stock. Good work on the Tacoma - that's quite an undertaking. And I gotta learn how to drive like you're driving that stepper. That's great mileage.

I was just going to change out the mufflers but they are frozen to the head pipes and I had no torch to heat them up . The head pipe is a true dual exhaust the factory dumps both into a cat then out to the mufflers . Left muffler isn’t really doing anything hardly any exhaust comes out of it because it so restrictive. I’ll get them apart and change it out at some point it will be quieter and have Harley stampings on them but the head pipe will be aftermarket

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Bike is inspected and the aftermarket exhaust is back on . It’s really only a 20 minute job and 20 bucks for gaskets and new flange nuts

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The part I was dreading getting the pan off . Thought for sure some of the bolts would snap tried one popped loose then another and they all came out like it was new . Once I popped them I used my fingers to unscrew them

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
After I got the pan out UPS came with the anchors for the shed so I did them need some right stuff for the pan anyway Toyota didn’t use a gasket on these just sealant.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got the oil pan in . These are sealant only no gasket so I’m going to fill and start it to be sure there are no leaks . Cleaned up the front differential and used some por15

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
not with insulated doors and closed cell spray foam! we ticked all the boxes on this one. guy says it will heat with a couple 100w light bulbs (not LED I assume) and cool with 2 12k mini splits. I have a 30x50 about a 1000 ft away and this is YUUUGE in comparison.
