Just got my truck out of the shop from putting the new engine in. Wow, what a difference. I guess the old engine was more tired than I thought. This thing seems to have 30-40% more power than the old one.

Now to get a few miles on it so I can see how she pulls a load

Let us know when the BSEG doesn't go away for a 24 hour period...

That should be right after the break-in is over ...

I'm finding it hard to hold back. This thing has lots of pep to it! I'm going to spend the weekend doing the break-in thing, driving around and visiting my buds. Warming it up, cooling it down. I'll have it broke in soon
