    No real biggie every two years. I just wish the fuel rail cleared the right side easier on a Trilogy.

    That doesn't sound too bad... I tried emissions with a tune with all monitors on, and every single thing came back not supported. Still let me buy the sticker because of their blunder this year with mailing out the paperworks..so I got lucky. For now.

    Nice to live in a small town in a (somewhat) free state. No vehicle inspections, I carry a gun every day, the school still says the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, don't have to lock up the house to run to the store, no riots when the cops shoot a criminal...
    Be thankful you don't live in liberal, thug loving, and corrupt chicagoland.

    Did you verify this with a scanner? Because I don't see how that is possible.

    I use an app called Torque Pro and a $13.00 OBDII bluetooth scanner from ebay. I haven't played with it until yesterday. It also tells you when the car is ready for inspection. Mine passed this morning btw

    Nope. This will be next, however I don't even receive a p1000 stored code when transferring a fresh tune. As I understand it, this should be on until the drive cycle completes.
