Vehicle inspections
If I have a 08 to 10 SD in Virginia, will it pass inspection if I remove the DPF and put a programmer on it?
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

></o>
Also, anyone tried 16” wheels on a 08 or newer truck? I like 16’s better than 17’s, and 18’s are just way to expensive for the same tire.

17's are the smallest rim you can run on any 05 to current MY SD. In 05 the upgraded the brakes to much larger rotors then the 99 -04.

As for the first question, no. The DPF and/or CAT are federally mandated not state mandated. Therefore it has to pass federal as well as state. If you remove the DPF/CAT prior to inspection, you will fail the inspection.

It's not supposed to pass but it depends upon the inspection station and how thorough they actually are......not all of them are equally thorough and not all of them follow the manual as they should. That said, even if it does pass, it's still a violation of code to remove it and can still earn you a ticket.

It's not supposed to pass. But that all depends upon how thorough the inspection station is and whether or not they follow the manual as they should. That said, even if it does pass, it's still a violation of code to remove it and can earn you a ticket.

-->I know it’s not legal. I’m more concerned with, do Diesels get plugged up to a OBD for inspection.
For the record, my current 09, has a gas V8. Consistently gets 15MPG (doing with a calculator).

I've never seen one get hooked up to OBD for inspection. In NOVA, there are areas where they do the sniffer test where they hook the probes up to your exhaust.

Here where I live they do not get plugged in, the next county over they do. Looking for any fault codes. In NY all gassers get plugged in, diesels don't. VA seems a lot like NC, only certain counties (cities also in VA) get smog tested.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Depends on the location and what's required for the inspection. Some areas just do a visual, others do visual and plug into the OBD port and still others just check to see if you have working headlights, brakes, blinkers, etc..
