Generally, the ref will need CARB compliant parts, usually the entire powertrain and electronics. They basically confirm you have all CARB compliant parts installed and working correctly. You are allowed 1 "readiness monitor" to be "not ready" and the EGA must pass per that powertrain under CARB...

I've been doing my homework on starting a motorcycle company and making my bikes Fed/CARB compliant. I also looked into requirement for automobiles to be road legal in 49/50 states. YES. You must submit 7 production ready vehicles with the same powertrain (iirc weight was the biggest factor)...

You'll almost never be able to do a direct engine swap without swapping other parts too. Saying "it's too long" is an excuse. If you can fit a 6.4L in there, you can fit an I6 and a turbo. - Subaru said the 6 cylinder wouldn't fit the Impreza chassis, WRONG. We swap the 3.0/3.6L engines all the...

@AllMoparParts.com might be able to help with obtaining parts if needed. I've had 2-3 dealers tell me the newer seals just won't seal right. I too have horribly leaking door seals, and even thought they are less than 6 months old, the dealers REFUSE to own up and correct the issue.

You said they underfilled the transmission and THEN it started making the noise. That puts all blame on them, so if you have a transmission failure in the future, they WILL be responsible since you have proof on paperwork they fucked it up. But also, I CANNOT hear any whine in your videos, even...

Looks like you punctured a cover too. Glad you're recovering and they're at least trying to treat you. The hospital I was taken to wouldn't even provide a cast, splints, or even referrals for follow ups or medical devices/medication. Oh and they discharged me after 4 (FOUR) days, knowing I...

Idk guys, sounds like Gladiator owners are older crowds 😂 Maybe I'm a freak of nature, I never had issues driving a manual in stop-and-go traffic, I lived in Orlando, like near Universal's main entrance. It's not much better than any other major city, not even much better than LA traffic. - I...

Except modern engines are having the turbine housing and exhaust manifold part of the head casting. So when that turbo goes bad/needs a rebuild/exhaust leak in "manifold", you can't just swap housings/turbos/and parts will be more expensive if available at all due to design. It's not just Jeep...

Sand blast the whole thing, then either primer/paint it or have it coated. If you just paint over a rusty spot, it WILL come back. Surface corrosion isn't "rust" like many people think. "Rot" is what many think "rust" is, it's not. Not saying YOU think that, just clarifying. So if it's just...

LUUUUUCKY. Where I am they will fail you for emissions based on VISUAL alone. Took my WRX in several years ago to a shop I was told wouldn't care. Well they added cameras underneath when you pull in, walked up with my keys to the service writer and was told "hey man, that's a sick wrx. I'm a...

I hear you brotha, maybe the dealers and shops in your area don't care, but most of the dealers I've been to across 4 states DO care. Back when I was build Subarus for fun, the moment you go into the dealer with an exahust/intake and low miles, they will try to void it as those ECMs cannot...

They can take the data I give them BECAUSE - Never touched the "accept" icon when the radio boots up. (Legally this permits it, especially on the MY24+) - Not allowed data sharing in the radio, via device setup (contact, messages, etc.) - Disabled/turned off those settings in iOS (more privacy...

They don't? Every ECM that I've encountered for emissions that's able to be reflashed has a "checksum counter", and based on that "counter" will determine if/how many times you've rewritten to that ECM. THAT is how dealers know you've changed the tuning. FCA doesn't implement this? Or just...

That's both ridiculous and COOL AS FUCK! Jeep, THIS is what we want if you make a bigger model. No v6, no hurricane, not PHEV. - Diesel or 6.4L! Okay, maybe slightly smaller.

Figures. Just like their BS emissions tuning that forces the throttle to stay open for a couple seconds if you chop the throttle hard and let off. Super unsafe to force the vehicle to accelerate unless you push the clutch. I do have plans for tuning in the future after my warranties run out in...

Just another reason to hate Ford. They've been retarded since they started making cars. And NOW they're openly telling you they don't care about your privacy, breathalyzers, facial recognition, iris scanning, data mining/selling, and more. Or do none of you care about the patents they filled...

I'm starting to think it has to do with emissions tuning. That's why the reflash fixed it. GM did this YEARS ago with Saturn. They programmed a "shift bump" to stop older customers from complaining it was "too smooth compared to previous vehicle". Autos can have many factors for this compared...

Uh, idk where you're getting youre info from but it's wrong. Not only will a dealer send out a sample to verify the oil, several modern vehicles have a sensor that DOES check viscosity, I know Benz has this on some of their vehicles. One of my instructors was a Mercedes master tech with over...

Many modern automatics are shifting to computer-controlled manual transmissions, aka DCT/PDK. Yes your beloved PDK is a manual transmission, just uses a clutch controlled by a computer. Same with the EVO X (DCT), the R35 GT-R(SCT), 2020-22 GT500 Shelby's (DCT), 911 (PDK), hell even Honda uses a...

That's usually how they do this, either mimicking or straight copying the design and cheaping out on things like fastener quality, coatings, or just simple tolerances for cuts/bolt holes. There's a reason my 450 enduro looks just like a clone of a 2007 450exc-f, a couple small changes to not...
