Looking good Gary!

Did you replace stock -for-stock on the injectors?

Yeah, I wanted to keep the fuel economy which right now is btwn 17-18 mpg. I was afraid if I went with Stage II I would loose some of that????? Right now I am sitting on 172hp over stock (on paper). It would be interersting to run it on a dyno and see what it is really putting out. They also went through my differential (at my request) and found the nut was backed out almost all the way and my clutch plates were bad. Appartently that is what was causing my vibration when under tow and turning. They thought maybe on one of the fluid changes that non-syn oil was used, or they forgot to add the modifier??? I try to be real careful and only use one shop to do work on my X, but you cant stand there and watch what they do, so I guess it could have happened. Appreciate all your help Steve, Loren runs a real nice operation.

Good thing they found that in the diff...that could have left you on the side of the road for sure.

Yes, he does, and he's a nice guy to boot.

It's comforting to have a confident feeling when you take your rig in for surgery.

True, and the damage/cost would have been substantially higher!
