diesel inspections please help
diesel inspections please help well tried to get my 07 duramax inspected today and the guy tells me he can not inspect due to not having a muffler, really ???? i thought diesels were only a safety inspection.
The guy was being stupid. Take it somewhere else. I haven't had any of my emissions equipment on in 3 inspections now. They never looked under the truck once...2 separate shops.

Which vehicles are required to have the emissions test?
Vehicles registered in designated counties. Designated counties include: Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Travis, Williamson and El Paso counties.
Gasoline powered vehicles. Diesel powered vehicles and motorcycles are exempt from emissions testing, but are still required to have the annual safety inspection.
Vehicles 2 through 24 years old OR upon expiration of the two-year initial inspection sticker.

Checking for a muffler is part of the safety inspection as well as looking for the emissions systems. If they look for it and it is not there, you will fail. They do not run emissions testing.
