No inspections in Ca to my knowledge. Good thing as my tranny controller and pacbrake set off my cel light. Electrical tape to the rescue or pull the bulb. I periodically scan it for additional codes.

No inspections here - yet, but they do the emissions testing; The bonehead at my last test told me to "floor it and hold it until I say "Stop" - I made it CLEAR that this would not happen, diesels aren't supposed to run at 3500+ rpm, and he should check the procedure....which is to stomp and release the go-peddle 3-times, the amissions are averaged across the 3 "runs". Passed with lower readings than any other vehicle I've ever had tested (including my old '95 Civic)....
...I think it's a waste of time!

You only have to inspect when a car transfers in MD, and they don't make you when you buy or are given a vehicle from a family member.

maine's rule of thumb is if they can see rust holes- like the cab corners and fenders of any truck that has done some muding- they wont pass it,there tough up here.

Diesel powered pickups registered 10,000 lbs. and up do not require NJ state inspection, they fall under self inspected. I would recomend carrying a copy of the law and something that looks like some maintanace records. At 18,000 lbs and up they require a smoke test.

I agree in AZ they told me to floor it and hold it.... I told them to stuff it.
Here in NJ I do not have to do inspection or emissions because GVWR is over 10,000 and less than 18,000. Otherwise inspection is free here and lasts 2 years. Inspection and emissions all happen at the same place...

What's an inspection?
In Montana no vehicle or smog checks for diesels or gassers.
We also have a lifetime registration option for rigs over ten years old, pay once and it's good for as long as you own the vehicle.

I once had tags in Oregon which were $20 for 2 years. I live in a RV so I move around a lot.
