Scott, one of the things I've learned in over 45 years of repairing, and modifying cars, trucks, boats, construction equipment, and airplanes is that it's a fruitless waste of time getting into a pi$$ing contest with someone who is convinced he's smarter than the engineers who designed the vehicle. I'll keep my opinions to myself on the open forum. If anyone wants to have a reasoned discussion without a lot of controversy, my email is in my profile, and there's always the instant message option.
