Class 2 Sticker on the Windshield...

It seems odd to have two separate stickers for safety inspection and emissions inspection. In NC both emissions and safety are done simulataenous and tied to the vehicle registration (as well as the weight), thus, no stickers.

 

I think a safety inspection here is like $14 and emissions is $30. Only 22 counties out of 100 here require emissions.

I took the truck in for oil change and inspection, they put the stickers on like in the picture, I took it back and made them redo the stickers with new ones and kept the class 2 sticker and put in with the registration like everyone suggested, they also put in 1 quart to much oil so they had to remove that also < after all it is a tire and auto service center...lol

I'd have made them get me a fresh class 2 sticker after that act... Whoever put them on just didn't care.

What do all of these stickers represent? I see the "Class 2" is for weight i guess, what are the other two for? We don't do window stickers in NC, did away with them 10 years ago...

Inspection, emissions, and then your "tax stamp" to allow you to tow.

...and the inspections keep garbage cars off the road.  I never realized how much I appreciated PA inspections until I moved back to Illinois and have to occasionally share the road with some pretty sketchy vehicles.

Problem is, we're made to make sure our vehicles are road worthy for the roads that aren't vehicle worthy.

So in PA you can get pulled over and fined for being out of inspection if any cop you drive by notices your sticker is not current, no stickers is a great idea but how do they validate that you have a current inspection on your vehicle? I would guess only if you got pulled over and they checked your registration?

Here in NC it is all tied to the tag, i.e. license plate...officer runs the tag and the DMV status comes back (inspection, insurance, annual registration, etc.). The officer doesn't need to stop the driver to run the tag and any hits like failure to register, no insurance, no inspection give the officer RAS to stop the car.

I wish they would do that in PA.

Also in 2017 they stopped issuing stickers for the license plates and people were getting pulled over in other states for expired registration < state says you don't have to remove the stickers.

RAS < I had to look that one up..lol

Sorry, when I get to talking about stuff like that I switch to the jargon...You usually dont see officer's pulling people over for registration violations in other states...it is not really an NC violation if a PA license is expired...

There is apparently legislation that last I read (few months back) they were trying to move emissions to every 2 years and go to some combination sticker for Registration, Inspection, and Emissions. Doubt that will happen though. Someone somewhere will be upset on losing out of the $$.

Sure it is.  If you are driving a vehicle in NC, with PA plates and those plates are expired, you are driving an unregistered vehicle in NC.  Otherwise, everyone in NC could just register their vehicle once in PA, and drive around in NC without having to register their vehicles.

I better check to see if mine is in the console lol, I have had trucks off and on for the last thirty years and have never put one on any of them, I've never really thought about it. with having an emissions and inspection sticker already there I don't really want another sticker there, two is bad enough.

When I purchased this truck back in 2011 the dealer told me that the weight sticker had to be on the truck because the newer trucks are built heavier than the older ones and because of the GVR a weight sticker is required by law.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
