I love my Badlands winch. I have been running the old school badlands 12k winch for awhile, and it's more than paid for itself. **knock on wood** that it doesn't fail me the next time i need it... ha!

The butt Dyno says the throttle response is a bit better also.
I was getting excited about the idea of an LS swap into an 80... I had even started assembling a price list... but then I got to this post, and that's the end of that.Yet another crisis
Called around to some exhaust shops today - not going to mention which one's right now - and was reminded that Colorado has adopted California emissions controls, effective 1 January.
What this means is you have to use CARB approved catalytic converters which are twice as expensive - and because several states just did this and manufacturing hasn't caught up - hard to find.
It also means that I need that downstream pair of O2 sensors after all - one of the shops said they won't work on it without them. And I will need them to pass inspection when that comes back in a year or so anyway, so may as well do it now while they're building the exhaust. Luckily, I still have the Silverado harness, so I think I can pull the downstream O2 sensor wires and connectors from that.
One shop wasn't even sure they wanted to take this on right now, until they understand the new regs completely. Apparently the penalties for a shop can be pretty significant.
But back to the inspection ... if I'm reading it right, all emissions systems from the donor vehicle need to be in place, and operating - including all that evap stuff I described above as not being present. Not sure how to do that. This would have been valves, sensors, solenoids in the fuel tank & lines of the donor vehicle that I didn't grab, connected via chunks of body harness I don't have.

Me? I am. Does that make a difference?I thought you were still in El Paso county?
Yes, no emissions testing in El Paso.Me? I am. Does that make a difference?
I'm trying to decipher this hot mess right now and not getting very far. I don't see anything about the county-by-county inspection that I used to know about. The cat law seems to be for the whole state. It's a steaming pile of hot pony loaf, that's for certain. Surely more than I'm going to try to sort out, but I will try making at least a call or two before giving up.Yes, no emissions testing in El Paso.
