Same here; western NY, they didn't even pop the hood. Just checked for
a cat and such. I definitely agree with Doug; if you've got a small,
local garage that does inspections its good to establish a relationship
with 'em. Have them do exhaust work, change the oil in the winter, etc.
They'll be familiar with you and your truck, and IMHO, inspections
will be less of a hassle.
