Re: inspection question
Why are you expecting it to be put on a lift for a non-emissions state inspection? Richmond area only checks for presence of cats. Might need to take the wheel off to inspect the brakes is about it.

they are asking to be busted then. its a requirement to check the suspension and steering components in a VA SI. you dont have to lift it on a lift, but most shops will.

To see the legalese of the inspections...

Re: inspection question
the basics:
no longer reject for serp belt cracks
no longer reject for ABS light
no longer reject for third brake light on camper shells
remote door openers/shaved is legal
we must inform customer that even if they dont have a muffler, it will pass. but its still illegal to operate on the highway.
reject for anything in the drivers view
reject for a shift indicator that doesnt show P or N
all trucks with airbrakes after 1994 must have a slack adjuster with indicator
ball joint tables are gone, 1/4" play is the norm for ALL.
there are a few more, thats what i can recall off my head right now.
