    New Jersey does the same thing on the roadside, with the added bonus that they inspect all vehicles not just diesel powered or commercial trucks. I had them fail a 2007 truck, in 2007 with only 50,000 miles on it, not even broken in yet. At least in my home state of Pennsylvania there is no roadside emission inspection, only when you get you annual or semi-annual safety inspection, and then in most counties it is only a visual inspection looking for tampering.

    You sure its the same thing? I do remember this in nj but only the emission stickers and to see if you dont have like a million holes in your exhaust. But tampering with egr or def or all that emission crap. As of right now if you are not running ports you should be able to delete this crap. Just your truck wont be epa10 rated would go down on the list and last time i checked the city are still running old diesel trucks. My question is are they hitting 4 wheelers? As well since tempering with def is so popular among them. If so nothing can stop Rampage California.

    Yes NJ is still hitting 4 wheelers as well as big trucks, gas or diesel on the roadside, just not as often as they used to. They do the tailpipe sniff test, throttle snap/opacity test and look for visual signs of tampering such as delete kits.

    Just to be sure I looked it up on the NJ website, seems they don't do 4 wheelers roadside anymore but still do diesel trucks with fines from $150 to $1,350 for failing.
    I run NJ often, could've sworn the last roadside emissions inspection I saw said all vehicles, but I stand corrected, maybe they were only spot checking for other violations at the same time?

    Boy having a diesel of anything has become a pain. Something to think about when pretty much this is what built this country

    Here in VA we have drive by emissions testing for personal cars, you literally drive by a sensor they ditch on the road and a camera scans your plate and your pass/fail goes into the DMV database. Wonder how long before some jerk realizes the system they already own could be used for automated evil?

    BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    Seriously though that would suck
