Missouri Highway Patrol - Twin I-beam Inspections

[basketcase0302]

I got something out of it.

Eliminate all wheel bearing play by applying the service brake.

Had never heard this one before, and it makes very good sense.
Another reason to get the wife to help when working on the truck!
Thanks!

ok im lost. Why would your joints on a twin I beam have to pass a inspection? is it something along the lines of having to pass a smog test or something?

in missouri, it's a safety inspection. lights, horn, windshield wipers, brakes, exhaust and front end all have to be working properly and within factory specs. st. louis has to also pass an emissions test.

wow that sucks big time.theres no way mine would pass.

We have about the same in Pennsylvania.If you live in certain counties it also has to pass an emission test.Sometimes it's a PITA but it's also nice to know that most of the vehicles on the road are safe.

yeah, it keeps the riff raff off the streets.

just razzin' ya man.

lets see here. no horn(watch for finger or .44), blinkers occasionally work, left brake light no work, louder than 95dbs. just to name a few
