MA inspection
i bought a 2005 ranger 4.0 and i went to get a sticker this weekend and i was told the new obd system they use to give the stickers wasnt compatable with my trucks software and they were going to have to check with a ford dealership i was confused by all of this because i dont get why it wouldnt be compatable my mechanic said his guess would be a fuse blown hes seen it happen on cadilacs but i was just wondering if anyone had any clue what the hell is going on with this whole mess

I don't have a Ranger, but I think the BS flag is flying high on this one..
I might believe an older ranger, but a 2005??
