I stand corrected. My old 2003 dually required testing every 2 years to get the sticker for the plates. And it was registered for 3500 KG. The 21 dually is registered for 4000 KG or about 10,000 lbs, even though the the RGVW is 1400 lbs. So something changed after the last test on the 2003 in the fall of 2017. Good to know I won't have to go through that crap again. Although the goverment can change their minds at any time.
Yea last year they made the change which is ridiculous but they are trying to push the older transports off the road faster. Doug Ford made that clear
There are far more issues than just border crossings to address before that will happen
Not in California. We have very few rights in California, but we do have a sh!tload of wrongs.
This is a screenshot straight from California’s CARB website, and they have a clear, one word answer for if the recall needs to be done to pass smog or to register the truck:

Well that is only proposed NOT yet agreed upon and implemented. Lets just wait and see.This is a screenshot straight from California’s CARB website, and they have a clear, one word answer for if the recall needs to be done to pass smog or to register the truck:

This is not their usual MO, and I will not be surprised when they do make it a requirement. Now, let's talk about lawn mowers in California...This is a screenshot straight from California’s CARB website, and they have a clear, one word answer for if the recall needs to be done to pass smog or to register the truck:

A good point. Because 67A isn't mandatory I think all the fuss that it's part of correcting the the violation might be wrong. I think there's a recall coming, yet to be EPA approved, that will be mandatory and may affect performance like the AEM recall did to the Ecoduesels. I hope my thinking is wrong.
It’s definitely about extortion and not about punishing a company for disregarding the rules and lying for years about it.

Ian Plimer has conducted some brilliant lectures and been interviewed frequently by the media.
Wish there were more like him. I notice that Tim Flannery has been very quiet for years!

A few excerpts from Professor Plimer's newest book
Where Does Carbon Dioxide Really Come From?
PLIMER : "Okay, here's the bombshell -- the 2016 volcanic eruption in Iceland. Since its first spewing of volcanic ash, in just four days it NEGATED every single effort you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.
Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress. It's that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life.
I know.... it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50-cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs..... well, all of those things you have done went down the tubes in just four days!
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere by that volcano in Iceland totally erased every single effort made worldwide to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time - EVERY DAY.
I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.
Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year - think about it.
Of course, I shouldn't spoil this 'touchy-feely -save-the-Earth' moment and mention the effect of natural solar and cosmic activity, and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.
And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact is that the wildfire season across the western USA and Australia in 2019 alone negated efforts to reduce carbon in our world over the following two to three years. And these types of events happen every year somewhere on the planet.
So just remember if your government imposes a whopping carbon tax on you, on the basis of the BOGUS 'human-caused' climate-change scenario, it won't stop any volcanoes from erupting, that's for sure. Is it really so hard to understand that Mother Nature massively dominates any human efforts on climate?
Hey, isn't it interesting how they don't mention 'Global Warming' anymore, but have labeled it 'Climate Change'? It's because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century as measured in 2010, and global warming advocates got caught with their pants down.
21st century climate alarmism is a mental disorder, whipped along for its own purposes by the UN Climate Change Panel of scientific "experts"
