NWI INGO General Post - Part 13

[Snapdragon]

I don't mind my pennies being pinched, as long as I see some dollars once in a while.

Sadclown... I got the Vortex Viper PST 6-24 x 50 ffp EBR-2c MOA

Hoping for some ok weather to break her in out in Wabash on the 750 yard line...

FFP is the way to go.

Emissions testing sucks.


I didn't pass because a code popped up, not enough time/miles on the sensors.
I went through this a year ago, when they replaced my battery.
And that battery just failed and had to be replaced again. Ugh.

Last time, I had to have Ford run it through its paces to clear the code.
Driving it around myself wasn't clearing the code.

WTF.
Do I have to bring it back to them again?

Have you tried clearing the codes with a scan tool?

I had the same problem. If you clear the codes, as when there is no power it will not pass until all of the codes register within parameters.

To get them to reset there is a course you have to drive. It is complicated Stan's reset mine two years ago and it took driving the course 8 times to get them right. It cost nearly $500.

Clearing is the problem.
You have to have this code to pass.
Using the tool clears the code till you meet a driving profile.
So many mph for so many miles.
City profiles, highway profiles.

Because my battery was replaced, I don't have the code.
But, a couple months of driving and I don't have the profile met, I don't think 5 more days they gave me is going to help.

That's my problem.
They say you often can't meet parameters, even driving them.
So they drive the profile till it passes each section.
But.. you pay for them to do it.
What a scam.

Ah the smell of government....

Winter is coming again, maybe again this time, or not, who knows with this goofy weather.

Least they got the power back up for you. Today's my only day off, and the power was off half the day.

Buy diesel. Its exempt

Should've went for a drive.

Move to Laporte County problem solved.

 

[Ericpwp]

Buy an older car.

 

[Ballstater98]

Just wait, and not drive, until the law passes getting rid of emissions testing.

I've driven to Indianapolis. Still something wasn't met.

I'm running out of time.

 

[CTC B4Z]

I hear they are doing away with the useless emissions testing soon. it costs the state like $15 million a year to run it

 

[Ericpwp]

Interesting day at work.
A coworker got hit by a car walking into work and two shooting victims pulled into the lot in their shot up car, one DOA.

 

[CTC B4Z]

go on
