OK! 1st the Waco comment: It does seem to follow a pattern. If your
religeon or belief isn't BATF or Gov. approved, they will move in and kill
you.
Now! The emmission thing. Go somewhere else and talk to the emission
checker before they stick it in your pipe.
I just had my truck pass the emission today. Last 2 years it's been real
shaky. Went to the same guy as last year who really fooled around with it
to make it pass by the hair of it's chinny chin chin.
This time, passed first shot, super low bad stuff out the pipe.
Why? What did I do? Last 2 oil changes I have switched to 100% pure
synthetic and I doped the gas with Slick 50 Emission Passer. Tossed it in
the tank and drove 10 miles and passed the test with better results than
when it was new.
