Seems like you hear that with almost all tunners. I have not heard of that being a problem at DP Tunner for what it's worth.

It's not like my place was that hard to find either! I can't believe they didn't call one of us. I coulda' met Mrs Clause as well!

That made a big difference, don't have to kick it out of cruise as much and downshift as much. What a successful team effort! I still can't stop thinking about the kindness given to me!! THANKS


Good timing Travis, I posted this before I saw your post.
This is what I wanted to hear Glenn. That you're home safe and sound and that the truck performed well. That's music to my ears!

Hard to believe that this weekend we are coming up on one year since this build. I went back through this thread this morning and just marveled at what we accomplished. It was so cool to be apart of it. I never seen anything like it before or since.

Man! That is hard to believe, but I guess that's about right. A cool thing to be a part of for sure. There are some good people here on FTE.

There are some great guys here. The bulk of you...questionable at best! Lol

I wanted to do a relaxed thrash on the mare. I have no idea what time frame we'd be looking at.

Ha ha. I doubt I can get out that far. And by relaxed, if it doesn't get done, no big deal.
