I'm sharing, I'm sharing

I was told that I have a good story to share. I don't know how good it is but here goes. Four years ago I bought a 17* hpop and stored my 15* away. Then when I read about the adrenaline from Dieselsite I ordered one and sent in my orginal 15* hpop as a core. During the last year or so I've had trouble with my auto trans and Bill (Madvan) had helped me out a lot with my problems. He read that I was getting the adrenaline and PM me and asked what I was going to do with my 17*? I told him I would just give it to him so when I was installing my adrenaline I just reused the box and mailed it to him. After Bill got the 17* he asked me if I wanted my paper work that I left in the box, I said no. I was having starting problems and memtioned this to Bill. He PM me back and explained that the gasket wraper I left in the box had the wrong part # on it. I then emailed this info to Bob at Dieselsite and he got back to me right away and said that he had screwed up and mailed me the wrong gasket. Normally I would have been upset because I had to do the install all over again but Bob was so good about it I couldn't get upset. He even called me back and apologized some more but all I said was I would hit him up for a freebe or discount in the furure, he laughed. I PM Bill back and told him he was my hero because I was having some 'real' starting problems. Hope you all enjoyed!!

Do not have a clue to who.
You are going to have to up that info!
Do you have enough time/miles with Bob's pump to have some input
on it? I just really like that it has a rear ballbearing.
("so iam told it has")

Yes Bill, I have the time on it now to be able to say that it works really well. I can only imagine what it would do with stage 1's or 2's. It seems on here the 'roll the smoke' factor is big and I can roll it with the baby beans. But really, performance is the key factor, not smoke. I pulled a 24k trailer down to AZ a few weeks back and it got down and pulled like I've never seen it pull. TW's reburn for the adrenaline controled the EGT's in heavy tow really well. Before, I was kicking off the cruise when it got to hot and now I can leave the cruise on for most of the hills. I like my set-up but with this bug I'm always thinking of 'what's next' lol.
