05 chevy 1500 GVWR is 7k :|

Vehicles 8,500-10,000 GVWR

Tiny truck, tiny GVWR.

I feel like the list of gas vehicles that heavy is small

Some suburbans are 8600. Excursions start at 8500/8600. Expeditions can probably be up there too. Then think about the 250/2500 series trucks, 350/3500 series. Maybe RVs fall in that category too(depends on registration code)

My truck is 96 diesel so I'm exempt due to that already.

The first thing it says is 95 vehicles less than 8501 GVWR, what the **** is the confusion?

I think you're confusing yourself...

What I was saying was does EVERY SINGLE CAR BEFORE 1995 CURRENTLY REGISTERED have to have that stupid little thing in the glovebox?

What's in the glovebox?

:-?

Since some people are overdue for inspection... do they even get this? What if you buy a Pre 95 cah from another state? :O I guess you get one from da DMV?

No, you don't. You are "special"

reeeeed dangit I has inspection till 2017!!! :bertstare::bertstare:

This is interesting.

I wonder how the logistics of sales in the immediate future work.
What if you purchase a 1995 model car, say April 25th. I think you have 10 business days to register it, from the date of sale on the title. Would you be better off waiting until after May 1 to register it, or should it not make a difference?


The language of that passage is interesting.

That letter "should" be kept in the vehicle? Okay, what if it's not? Is that a misprint that should read "must," or are they just recommending it?
What if a vehicle is purchased without a sticker on the windshield?
What if a vehicle is purchased after May 1, but has an expired sticker?
What if a vehicle is purchased before May 1, but has an expired sticker--Could the new owner wait a few weeks and then rip it off, never getting the car sniffer tested?
Assuming there is no sticker on the windshield, is there any way for any one to figure out when the inspection is set to, or has, expired?


It's finally a slow day at work :rofl:

My formula has been off the road in storage for 9 yrs. I got it from DE. Its not registered but is titled in my name now and almost ready for the rd. i guess ill have to bring it in?

The state has record of when a vehicle was last inspected.

Yeah, but "The State" is such an ambiguous designation.

Does the Officer in the squad car, pulling folks over for Moving Violations, have access to that info?

Scenario: John Doe buys a '95 "performance car" without a sticker today. It's likely overdue & not gonna pass b/c of a CEL [or insert your reason here]. May 2nd he's pulled over for not having an Inspection sticker. John Doe says, "It's a '95." Is that enough to get John Doe off the hook & on his merry way home?

In reality, I'm sure 95% of patrolmen aren't going to give a "p00p" about any of this. I'm just asking because the language peaked my curiosity.

95 can have a cel, 96 and up its an issue. You get a pink card to have your vehicle inspected within 2 weeks. You can also ride the current sticker if it is still valid. As for change of registration and inspection history, I do not know.

Honestly, if someone gets pulled over for no inspection and they tell the cop, its a 1995 and now exempt, the cop will most likely just make sure registration is valid and insurance is up to date on the card. That is all.
I highly doubt they will go back to their car and run any sort of search, not worth their time.

When I have issues with the Ram in say a roadside checkpoint, , I don't even tell them what year it is. They usually just ask "diesel?" I say yes and they wave me though. In the future it'll probably be "1995? yea? ok on your way". When I get stopped and the cop asks why no inspection, I also say "exempt, diesel" and they just check that I have my paperwork and then let me go, No running my info or anything.

The whole exact date thing with, If i buy a car today... is really just silly. If someone is worried, just wait till may. Then if its a 95 or older, most likely at the dmv they will say right then that its exempt. No worries then. For those cars coming due, most likely they will get a letter stating exemption begins when sticker expires. They are only sending letters right now to cars coming due, not ones due next year yet. In any case, once may hits, its basically all 95 and older are exempt. not much to be worried about. If you have no sticker after that fine, if you have a sticker that says 2017, also fine. in 2017 peel it off, or if you're a baddass, peel it off now.

I wonder if the deadline will stay '95 (Tied to the last remnants of OBDI?) or if it will roll forward every year.

Ya, this is exactly what I imagine as well. I like to entertain Mike :rofl:

No, it will not roll forward with the current program. Yes, it is precisely due to OBD II implementations.

OBD3 shall soon become aware.

Ah, so nice to reap more benefits by dailying in my classic 91 K car. Lol

Pretty cool. If I bump the GVWR on my 2500HD both my vehicles are exempt!

That's my question.

teehee fun comments read!

You can't change the GVWR. It goes by vin.

Commercial vehicles are allowed to set their GVWR. AFAIK.
