Oh, and my normal guy I go to is not in today, So I didnt even begin asking them...

So this morning I called two local shops here in Chesapeake and I told them I have a 3 axel truck weighing around 14,000 lbs and is a EX Military Truck. Before I could explain anymore I got the "We dont do inspections on those." Ugh... Such a pain in the A$$

Haha! Yea I figured I would be showing them how to "run" things. and I do have seatbelts, thanks USA!

The local shop and I have a great relationship with our normal vehicles. And if all State Inspection places are suppose to do 20,000lbs and below. I would say that they would most likely me able to do my truck. I just didnt know about the 20,000lb rule. I"ll call them tomorrow.

So, I dont have to look for a "special" inspection station (like for semi's)? I can take it to the one I get my normal car done at?

:( my poor paint job.....

HAHAHA! The tape was left on :) But, it does work! Im having a blast with the truck! Driven it everyday so far!

All glass is good and the tires are no issue. Great....they are going to have to remove the wheels to check the brakes... Im sure they'll mess up the CTIS...ugh..

All the lights work- Tail lights, headlights, signals, marker lights, even the black out light! Wipers work, horn works, stops fine, air buzzer/light work, and the parking brake works. Am I missing anything?

I have a M35A3 and it has normal tags on it. Anyone have any info for the state inspection? Like what they are looking for etc? Thanks

My CTIS also works as well and would like to keep it original.

How long do these bearings and such normally last? I have a truck that has 5,500 miles on it. I just find it hard to beleive the bearings etc are bad. A seal yes, I can see that with all the sitting and not being not used. P.S. Not trying to hi-jack the thread. Im interested as well... I my...

Ok, I didnt know if I would feel or hear anything that may give it away.

First off Im a complete noob here so sorry if I sound like an idiot. I mentioned in another post that my front passanger boot was starting to be wet with what looks like could be grease or oil. How will I know if my bearings, hub, etc are bad?

I can see where it might be coming in at the seam between the hardtop and the body. I will run some silicone around that edge later this week when the sun is out and the truck has time to dry out. OH! and I think I found why there was a puddle on the passenger floor.... Lets just say, it...

My A3 has a hardtop. The front windows where they attach to the top has a good seal, no leaks there. It looks mainly like the top of the side windows that dont quite reach the top of the hardtop is where I may have the issue.... Im heading outside to look at it again...

Thanks for the idea! I will check the hardtop where it meets the body and see whats going on there. I may run some silicone there just for the heck of it. Now that you said that, it was kinda wet behind the seats and the back of the cab.... So that seam most likely isnt working to well on mine...

haha!

Well crap.... I guess I should hurry and build that truck port.

So yesterday evening thru this morning was rain, rain and more rain... I would say anything from showers -->steady --> big fat rain. So I just went out to the truck to see how much water was inside. There is of course a wet floor and a standing puddle on the passenger side. Good news everyting...
