Ugh, $750? I am about to get my first registration bill on this truck. Actually need to pay that soon. My '07 was grandfathered in at the $60, so I have a rude awakening.

 

Your plate is also the wrong color . . .

I wouldn't worry too much, the truck was maybe half of that. I also register a 2007 BMW Z4 Coupe and Motorcycle that in included in that figure.

Just picked up a '17 2500HD, and truck alone is $511/year for mine here in Iowa, no personalized plates.

 

This is what I got from the DMV when I inquired about the fee schedule:

Paying 600$ already in Kommiefornia. Now pay even more for plates that are a different color is insane.

 

 

OUCH!!! $600??? Surely, you exaggerate, or you got robbed. Mine was $530, almost a year ago, expected to be very close to or just under $500 this year. Be glad that you didn't bring it in from out of state. Friend was charged almost $1,000 to register his '13 Ram from Utah, reg fee BS + "SALES TAX," because sales tax in UT is lower than CA. A bunch of the "out of state" types need to band together and SUE CA for charging sales tax on something that was bought OUT OF STATE!!!! Trucks are charged more for registration, because "they can go commercial anytime." I so want to go back to AZ or NM. NM charged strictly by the weight of the vehicle, 5,350 lbs = $53.50/yr, or so it seemed, and they didn't charge me sales tax when I brought my '91 Nissan King Cab into NM from CA.

My plate and registration fees aren't too bad here in Wisconsin. Pretty sure mine is $84/year. I ordered some non-custom LE Memorial plates for $15/year. So $99 a year total. It's only an extra 15/year for custom plates on top of this.

 

Looking at the DMV site, I must only be registered to 6000gvwr. It jumps to 106/year for up to 8000.

Interesting... looking back I was charged $420 for the truck registration this year. My truck has similar MSRP but weighs less since it is only a half ton. Sadly my last truck (2008 Titan) was down to $126 a year registration when I traded it in last year!

Sales tax isn't really a correct term for what that tax is. It is actually a use tax. States charge the tax based on where the goods will be used (think buying anything online). Generally states are not that particular about it, especially if you have previously paid tax on it already, but then you have California... it doesn't really surprise me. I am sure they don't refund you any tax if you paid a higher tax rate than they charge. Pretty ridiculous how that state is run sometimes.

My Oklahoma regular plate is $95 for the first few years then goes down some the older the vehicle gets. My personalized plate is $22/year on top of the regular plate. Compared to some of the prices that I've seen from around the country, I'm getting a real bargain! I gonna have to quit bitching at tag time :) .

My NH vanity is 40 a year. Registration was pro rated for only 9 months last year so I paid 750. This year was 800. Next year should drop significantly

Here's mine. In Iowa my registration total is around $750 and the plates are only $5 a year additional ($50 the first year)

You should see CT and it's property tax of vehicles. I have a 2014 and I still pay something like 600 this year. It could have been more. When I first bought my truck it was something around 900 dollars in property tax.

In Massachusetts, the cities and towns collect excise tax each year. Three weeks after buying my new truck, I got a bill from the city for $525. I suspect next years bill in February will be around the same. Mass registration fees are fair. $60 for 2 years. Vanity or specialty plates are $100 every 2 years. $40 of which goes to the charity the plate is for. Then there's the $35 annual safety/emissions inspection.

Too funny. My brother used to live in those apartments, and I visited him quite a bit. Glad you enjoyed the plate as much as I do :D

 

edit: that was right after I got my truck... still has the red GMC!

These are the plates on my last vehicle before my truck.

 

I didnt put these on my truck because I eventually want to get black plates without my name on them.

But i have no good ideas yet, besides XCUESME

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years
