Finally!

So my truck is finally on the road!

I picked it up from getting the mirrors done today. They installed a new 02 mirror on the passenger side and put in a jumper wire on the drivers side so it all works now.

So now my truck is on the street. I may have gotten up above 15lbs of boost leaving the shop's parking lot. Woops.

And now I'm off to go get emissions testing done and go visit my grandma afterwards. Later, all!

Nah. Right now I have a license paper. Still waiting on plates.

For emissions we just do an opacity test. I scored 0.5% out of 20% allowed.

I went to one place and was told they don't do diesels so I went to another place that does. I met one kid there who went to school with my brother apparently and there was a sweet 03 Cummins there for emissions. Was kinda nice to talk to someone with another brand of diesel without any bashing.
