yep me and some others got a house and are moving from this hell hole known as Michigan. i was making good money then the hole car world went upside down. i am a heavy diesel tech with all certs and was shop foremen. then everything just died off. i was the only one in the shop that did not have kids and a house i think thats why i got layed off. i was told they want me back and this was going to be temporary but they just layed off more people so i am gone. all other jobs here are gone around the flint area. any way we are moveing to mooresville. i know some people around there and know a mini trucker that go's to the school in town. we love it there, my grandam and grandpa lived in morganton so i was around there alot for the summers. so i cant wait this friday we are moveing a ton of stuff down. i am comeing back because me and a buddy are building airlift displays for sema and i am hulling them out there and setting up. so when i get back from sema i will be moveing down.

when i get there it would be bad ass to meet up with some people and hang out. the only qustion i have is on my blazer. is there anything i need to worry about to get it inspected? i do not have airbags or abs and i am on air. i am going to run the exhaust out the rear before i head down. any info would help

pretty sure you will get messed with for that tag here..i have heard from several people that the cops dont like that here..

also as long as your check engine light is off you should pass..

do you have a full exhaust?

the check engine light is off but the airbag light and abs light is on
i have full exhaust, cat and all it just ends at the axle. i was going to finish it out the back. and the tag i would like to get rid of it was cool like 5 years ago when i did it

not sure about the abs and airbag lights..you can always ask before you get it inspected...also once you regester your truck here you have one year to get it inspected...and i hope that is true..the chic at the dmv told me that....

Maybe a stupid question, but if you take the bulb out for the abs and the airgags will it still show up on the machine?

yeah the codes will still be set in the ecm. im pretty sure they wont inspect it with the abs codes thrown..it also depends on the guys you take it too, but since its obd2 its hard to fudge on it i would think. if you have a scanner you might be able to clear the codes on the spot and see if that works

if abs is removed it will pop a new code the next time you cycle the key so thats a no go

if you wouldn't mind making a trip up toward the high point greensboro area, probably a little over an hour or so, from the mooresville area, lilbluetruck98 (i think i spelled it out right..) he used to be a certified inspector, and i know he allowed passed inspection from a few people on here, who probably wouldn't have passed a standard inspection otherwise, granted, this was a few years ago. but he still may be able to do so..but that sounds great, we have a carolina's meet every march, the next one will be the 5th annual, trying to make it the biggest one yet, we've had upwards of 30 dimes in past years...i'd definately love to see the blazer there, i've always been a fan of it.

oh, and check out carolinatruckscene.com smaller forum, but more localized..a little easier way to get to know more of the locals on here. as alot of us double up as regulars on there, from here.

You could always have the PCM tuned to erase the codes.

I know some people in mooresville that will pass it...I got my truck passed without abs or airbags..Just hit me up when you need to get it done.
And im friends with 4-5 bagged minis in town so when you get all moved in or if you need any help let me know.

like jason said, lilbluetruck98 (zack) is an inspector, when I had my dime, i took it to him for inspection, I never had any codes though. I dont' think an ABS fault would matter, but i could be wrong.

Who do you know that's going to school up there? I know of a guy, he's in a local club here Pebble Pushers that just put on Scr8pefest here last week actually, that attends there. Name's Ray but I can't think of his screen name on here.

Be sure to visit and get to know everyone @ www.carolinatruckscene.com too.

FYI, blazer is sick
