compete a drive cycle without driving
Hey DF. It's been a while.for a question for you. I just bought a 01 ram 2500. I agreed with the seller I'd take care of smog I'd he'd lower the price. Before I went to smog it, a p0442 popped up. It was a missing house clamp on the gas filler neck. Cleared the code. So now I have to drive it a full drive cycle before I take it to smog. The kicker is (to my knowledge) I have to smog it, THEN register it a insure it in that order. I don't want to risk getting pulled over or getting in an accident. Is there a machine I can buy or pay a mechanic to trigger a full drive cycle? Thanks again for the reply.

Nice ta see ya again.
May wanna call DMV, and see what they have to say. There must be some provision for the situation your find yourself in...... Will the smog place give you a temporary waiver till the truck completes it's drive cycle?
So far as I know, the only way to do it, is to actually drive it...

^Correct, there is no other way to do it, unless you can run it on a dyno, but that would take a long time.
In my area we are able to insure the car and buy a temporary 10-day permit for $10. You should have something similar in place where you are, ask at the dmv as suggested.
Fwiw, to do the drive cycle and get the evap system to run will need between 1/4 and 3/4 tank of fuel.

Hey fellas. just wanted to say thanks for the replies.So my sister works for the DMV and she was the one who supplied me with the false info on purpose. It was payback for a semi-practical joke I played on her. I told her that Ben Davis (the work clothes company) was the brother of Al Davis (former Raider owner) and thats how he got the money to buy the raiders. She believed me. Anyhow, got everything squared away.
