Inspection Woes

Okay get this!

Take the Dak in today to get it inspected and I must have come across the
most anal retentive inspector in the state of Texas. I failed the
inspection and here is why. I modified the fresh air intake, FIPK from K&N.
I've got a 96 so I got the two 14x3 open filter. (I wish I could remember
if there was a CARB number for the kit.) The other reason, I've got an ASP
under drive pulley on the crank. Need a 94.5" belt now and it only comes in
6 rib when you get that size original bet was 7 and this is a safety hazard
because the belt might slip off my steering pulley and I won't be able to
control my vehicle.

Now to top it all off, on the emissions HC (ppm) standard is 220 my 3.9 is
putting out 22. The dude is sitting there telling me how incredibly clean
my truck runs.

So looks like I'll be swapping out the pully and throwing the factory air
box on to satisfy this prick.

Just needed to vent.

Thanks
Later
Kenneth
