Can you just reset it before going to inspection

What if it comes back on while they're inspecting it

They are not "suppose" to inspect it if I reset it, because the computer needs so long to reset and they will not get an accurate reading. So they will make you drive it and come back the next day.

I say you should disconnect the battery in a parking lot near where you get it inspected so you can reset it so you can just get it inspected. Hopefully that would work and your truck would pass.

You have to go like 100 miles or so for all the computers to come back on so they would pass it till all of the systems are up. Plus the cel comes on within 15 miles of resetting it

Hmm. Try cleaning MAF sensor and go from there I guess. It's easier to clean that than to replace PCV valve in my opinion.

The valve looked good to me, I think it may be my CAI cause the light. So im going to start looking to trade someone for stock intake and cash.
Oh well, gives me time to do some needed maintenance on it. Got synthetic oil for a oil change, maf cleaner, powersteering noise stopper (my powersteering pump is screaming it's going out soon), going to adjust the headlights, and I think im going change the gear oil... I also got spark plugs for a much needed spark plug change, I am just hesitant to go out there and do it..

You can fix the tow mirror angle by putting a washer or two on the top bolt.

A little late now lol, they are sitting in the garage. 2 studs on one mirror and 1 stud on the second mirror snapped completely off.

Tell them it wasn't on till they touched it and blame them, they would have to pass me, right?
