If it's stock it should pass just fine. I assume they do a "stomp" test?

Well. I bought the truck on Friday. I tore the front axle down over the weekend discovered that the lock out hubs are shot. Both are pretty bad, but just the driver side is popping. Neither hub had any grease in them. The wear and play is pretty bad.

I haven't really done much to the truck yet. I'm a full-time college student, so I stay pretty busy. I ordered a Fleet guard BAHF from Cummins here in Nashville. It should be in tomorrow. Also, I will probably be making a homemade exhaust shortly. I plan to run 4'' pipe after the downpipe and have a side exit exhaust.

Also, I will try to post some pics soon. I have alot on my camera. I'm just not good with posting pics on the internet.

You don't want to run grease in your hubs. When it gets cold it won't allow them to lock in. Just put some light oil on them if you must run something...
