I believe that should work

Thanks! Will do! I'm hoping to get started around 7:00 to 8:00 in the morning, which gives it time to warm up so I can finish painting my booster before I get started on the truck. I feel like putting aside 3 to 4 hours should do it, but with the way life goes I have the whole day empty. If you say it's going to take 2 hours it's going to take 8

With that logic let's hope it takes a half hour!

Yup, you have been diagnosed with "SSJ-Paintaholic-19". There is no cure, only public denial and laughs as a means of coping with the disease.

at least I picked a good hobby to get addicted to!

Just went for a ride, I can still hear the power steering making a little bit of noise. We bled the system for a good while, nice stiff brake pedal and good steering, there might be just a little bit of air left making it a little bit loud but overall everything was smooth.
Thanks again Eric! 👍

Glad its working well. Air will continue to work out for a bit, it should most likely quiet down a bit more.
I am glad to have been able to send you a known good unit vs the unknown parts truck one

Thank you! I figured it will work itself out. I'm very grateful for you for sending me the booster and the lovely card, I can't put into words how much I appreciate you!
