Bringing dads G.M. 4x4 in for safety . I put lots of work into it . It better pass or i'll be pissed. If it doesn't i'm going to part it out lol. Or screww all the regs and find a rust bucket and do the big transfer he he.

 

Good luck, certification is very doable, we had to do our 81 GM tandem. If that can pass I'm sure you're fine.

 

Lol yeah i wish you good luck to..

 

I wouldnt be worried, im sure it will pass, the sgi inspections have been pretty good to me! I also have a buddy thats getting certified in sgi inspecting, so now I will have a good hook up!

 

Hopefully you are going to an honest inspection station. I got ripped off big time once and never went back of course.
The next time I lucked out and got a great inspection without getting ripped off.
It makes a huge difference were you take your vehicle to.

 

How did they rip you off morris? Like just say stuff needed to get replaced when it didnt type deal?

 

Well got the old girl saftied finally. It costed me another $73.00 It seems that if you dont get all the repairs done within 30 days they can charge you again ! Heres what i did. Replaced both cab corners ,drivers side rocker and floor pan, both doors and thats all i did body wise. Mechanicly e-brake cables power steering seal in gear box, Right side exhaust manifold,repaced tail pipe, tighten L:F wheel bearing, new speedo cable and changed the valve cover gaskets and repainted them while i had them off. The valve cover gaskets wernt part of the inspection ,just needed doing. Now to find some G.M. fans to buy it lol.

 

Good news, I think I remeber a few members expressing interest abit ago.

 

hmmm...whats a guy get per pound of scrap metal these days?? just kidding..

 

Bingo! That`s how it`s done, you argue and you lose.
So I paid to have good tie rod ends replaced and they "let" the other non defects go! It ended up costing me an extra $140+....
Congrats Chris on the certification, must be your lucky day.

 

If they find something wrong with your steering or front suspension then they get to ding you for an alignment as well.If you get an alignment done somewhere else, they don't have to accept it so it is a nice incentive to find something wrong.

 

That sucks morris. Rodder what kind of gm is it again?
