I find the noise makes people on foot move faster in parking lots and the smell in back stops tail gaters.
When I see SUVs and full size trucks I think "Glad I don't have to feed that pig. SO put on some noise canceling headphones with some Roxy Music (maybe "More Than This") and some yellow sun glasses and remember a tune-up is a 99 cent quart of ATF away! ;D

OK...You need the AC option like my summer truck has (the Elpaso Resto). When the AC compressor kick in you loose about 10 hp and it really pucks the soot.  |

actually to come to think of it.. i have a box mounted tank that takes two people to pick it up, when its empty...(and what a struggle) when its full it holds just a little over 100 liters.. the tank walls are thick, you can actually have several people stand on the tank, not a problem.. probally as thick as the frame... maybe more.. so.. even when the box is empty.. and im hualing a full tank.. id consider the truck loaded lol... |
