Huge Performance Gains!!

I did a minor mod to the F250 and I can't believe the all round performance gain!
Noticably faster acceleration, better stopping and better handling. It's like the truck was reborn.

What did I do? I took off the 3000lb camper!! So if you want improved performance load your truck up to maximum capacity and drive like that for 6 to 8 months. Then remove the load and watch out! Like letting go of a a sling shot!

Camper is in storage the truck is next but I'm having too much fun whipping around the neighborhood to park it just yet.

I know the feeling after hauling the trailer with scrap metal.
