How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

Really debating on just keeping my SD plates while back in NYS, i DO NOT want to deal with vehicle inspections or registration fees.

Anyone here do the out of state registration? Its common practice in NYC as our insurance rates are abysmal. Theres tons of Jersey and CT plates in the city for a reason.

But what do you guys say, for reference, I use GEICO and my current policy (full coverage) is $78 a month

I agree with inspections for the general ignorant public who will operate things till they don’t move anymore. Aka break and send operators off the road. Working brake lights are nice on the vehicle ahead of you. Seriously!

Now. Having experienced a governor failure that came close to scattering a 6.2 at 4300RPM+ during a SNAP emissions test. It did severe damage and only bent valves kept it from obtaining more RPM… Didn’t run well after that.

Just saying, out of concern for those around at an emissions test station while asking a 20+ year old engine and governor to uh work, the Montana LLC route is more of a PIA than the inconvenience you would avoid. LLC requires yearly paperwork to be filed with the state. It’s a company vehicle should one be bothered about out of state plates and gets tax written off as a business expense.

What has you in such a … Um area? Lotsa other places one could be.

Is it fighting you to go forward in a sharp turn or is the steering wheel fighting no wanting to turn?

Fighting foward on a shap turn
Called me boy, burban bro
Put him on speaker as i did the following:

Turn all the way to right and the left, go around in a circle 3 times

Apparently it's just the tires are slipping, its literally that, he said if the gear box was going out or skipping a tooth that I would have heard it when I did that test, and the steering wheel wouldnt have re centered itself.

Maybe its all the salt and stuff on the roads, tons of snow as of late
