Yea, also he mentioned somewhere down the road my guage cluster may have been swapped, regarding the mechanical vs. electronic oil guage. I always thought the mech. was the factory one. We are going to switch to the electronic.

Ok, ok already. Picked up truck today, smooth as glass. Takes off like a super sport! And still, Vile got that thing to humm like a sewing machine.  I'll post a good video tomorrow. Been burning rubber all over town!! Gonna be hard to sleep tonight. I actually cant wait to go to work tomorrow, might take the long way, back country roads.
