issue is the TPMS sensor on the wheels. Other than that, it’s perfect.

You have a couple options on that one. Factory TPMS is usually junk and up to 200 bucks for a new one so you can get universals at NAPA or Oreily for about 80 - 90 and change them out when you get new tires

or you can remove them altogether and put a bit of black tape over the light.
you'll have to check your tires with a $3 pressure Gage but it works.

BTW I have often thought of opening a shop that would de-electronic vehicles so you wouldn't have to park them in a Faraday box should the gubment boys want to shut down the highways.

Thanks man. I saw the generics specifically for Jeep at pep Boys for 25 bux but when you said universal, it’s for all types of vehicles?

That’s a good idea for the shop. You could be a mobile mechanic too.

LOL - me too. But the "Inspectors" would never have it.

I knew a guy who was a really good wrench. He had a split window Corvette that he completely restored himself. Beautiful.

He had a late 90's Chevy beater sedan that he replaced the entire engine, but used a slightly different engine, and the car's computer would throw a code that could never, ever, never be cleared.

So he would take it to a particular station every year to pass inspection, and the people there knew him, and all was good.

Then the state eliminated all state employees and used contractors, so they closed that particular station.

The new inspectors told him he had to junk the car - no ifs, ands, or buts. They refused to issue him an inspection. So he broke it up for parts.
