A friend of mine just got his 93 318 4x4 Dakota tested today. He didn’t think it had a chance of passing, brought it to the mufflerman on Dundas here in London. His truck tried to jump off of the dyno because it was stuck in FWD. The mechanic told him not to worry about it and tested it as an AWD vehicle. A standing idle test was all it was required to pass. It passed without a problem (air filter removed).

Food for thought next time you have to go in for a test, rig your t-case linkage so that its stuck in 4wd you may just get lucky and only have to pass the idle test.
