Tampa is not bad, just hot and humid in the summer. From a guy that was born and raised in Miami (42 years). But very nice truck.
Maybe Tampa won't be so bad. First day home and I spot this complete with diesel badging.
That cloud is giving you the finger though.

That is my worst nightmare! I have been spending more time trying to drive through the road side ones to see if I can get my 94 to pass next year. What size tires do you have? and what station did you go to? I have 315s on my rig and I have had issues testing it due to the tire size.

315/75r16 35" + -
44th and mcintyre tests mine with the 35s I have been rejected elsewhere. it bounces around a lot but they will usually do it.
it passed again so thats good

Nice congrats bro! I have taken mine to the Northglenn center and the truck was all over the place on the rollers so they wouldn't test. Last year I took it to the Sheridan station to test because on the Aircare Colorado website it says they can test trucks with 33" and larger tires. When I got there it was only for rear wheel drive trucks. They still tested the truck on the allwheel drive rollers and somehow it passed. I have the part-time kit now in my truck so if I can't pass the road side test then I will see if I can test it in RWD only.

Last fall, Parker Air Care put my 80 on 34" Duratracs on their dyno not once, but twice (needed a gas cap), without a word.
Given that a Ford Raptor rolls off the lot on 315/70/17 BFG KO2s, and have since they started selling them in 2009 - we're past the 7 year exemption for the first year+ now - all these stations have to be testing trucks now with 35s and I don't know how anyone could argue that they can turn a truck away running that size when they're testing other trucks using that as an OEM tire.

The actual diameter will also be affected by tire brand, wheel width, inflation, and wear. I think it's a matter of operator inexperience and a lot of rolling mass on those dynos that may have been a factor in the past.
If AWD is somehow a factor, AirCare has 7 years to figure it out now as the 2nd gen 2017 Raptor is now more or less AWD...
