SO NOW, IF I GO WITH AFTERMARKET AND DISABLE MY TIRE MONITORING SYTEM DOES THAT MEAN NO INSPECTION STICKER? PASS /FAIL ISSUES? GREAT! ANOTHER BUREAUOCRACY LAW TO SCREW THINGS UP.!!!

 

and my light is on. and it stays on.


and. labor quoted at toyota = 200+
big O's tires 100+
discount tires = 15 dollaars each = 60 bucks


i don't get it. its a ten minute job. i even told off the toyota guy because he straight up said ittook 4 hours

i called him an _______ and a liar, i used to work for ford and we did truck wheels. it took at MOST 20 minutes

you break the bead. take the stem out.

break the bead of the new wheel. put the stem in. bam done. _______s. anywyas


why is hte guy above me typing in caps. it bothers me

 

dealerships love to make money! that is what they do best.
that post above was me accidentally having my cap lock on and this is me now PURPOSELY PUTTING IT ON!! why do caps bug ya, how odd! maybe you should look at the spacing on your annoying to read post before you judge!!!

 

You may be new to computers and the internet.

Netiquette deems CAPS AS YELLING.
Please don't do it unless it's for stressing a point.

I have to wonder about folks that join a new forum and come in guns blazing.
Sit back, lurk, and learn the culture before flaming and antagonizing people.
We all win in the end.

 

Or, you could just find a friend with an '07 and have them drive next to you!

 

i did not realize that that was deemed yelling ,my bad,all someone had to do was give me a polite heads up instead he decided to mention my caps that bugged him. sorry folks

 

The guy didn't exactly YELL at you over it, he simply asked why you were doing it.
I tried to point it out politely.
Now, I'm going to get on your case... all lower-case is as (to me) annoying as all caps. Are you that lazy that you can't type in proper case?
When one spends a lot fo time reading online, it gets really tiring when folks don't attempt to write in a coherent fashion.

 

i could have easily said

people who type in all caps without stressing a point = retarded


but i didn't did i?

 

I thought this was an infromal chat forum, and not shcool. I am not lazy , as you said ,but did not think that typing with either or was a big deal, I usually don't look at how people type or puntuate ,I just read what they wrote , not how they wrote it.

 

i don't look at how people misspell stuff or puncuate either

but as SciontCya caps connotates yelling.

and that bothers me.

 

I normally don't START with the punctuation/spelling/grammar stuff, but if it comes up, I chime in.
It doesn't help you get into good habits - I assume that most of you will want a job someday?

It's not school, but is it really THAT much extra effort?

 

now back to the busines at hand. If these tire monitors are not working properly,is ther going to be a problem with passing inspections? because if the government is making them put them on the states are gonna make us maintain them and here in N.Y. these kind of rules are usually implemented quickly,we have some pretty strict inspection staions they don't cut you many breaks anymore,they risk too many fines.

 

well, i mean its not mandatory for every vehicle to have them.


yet. so i guess its not required..

 

If they're not working properly, take it to the dealer to get it fixed - it's under warranty.
Can't tell you about inspections - don't know how they'd prove that does or does not work.

 

seems odd to force them to put them on, only to have us not maintain them. time will tell, I guess.

 

does this still apply for the '08s? im assuming yes, but can someone clarify?

 

The new sensors are required by federal regulations, whether or not the states will require the inspection stations to verify operation is unknown at this time.

Ah thanks. I see that it has been recently updated.

 

(Another thing from the second post in that topic that surprised me is the requirement for the DEALER to change the information on the placard on the driver's door frame if they install tires that require a different pressure, OR if they install any accessories/options that exceed one half of one percent of the vehicle's GVWR. I don't know the load capacity of a tC, but even if I assume it can carry a half ton, if the dealer adds less than 20 pounds of stuff to the car, they have to change the info on the placard per federal regulations...)

 

Way to keep the noObs coming back there, Roget Webster....
