His email to me once he got home;
Hi Tony & Joy,
We made it home! Truck ran excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would take it across the country tommorow if I had to. You did a great job on the power train, the truck purred like a kitten, did 55-60 mph at times!!!!!! And made it on one tank of fuel.. Pretty amazing..400Km Thanks for everything, any time you up here in Canada stpo by and take her for a ride.
Thanks For Everything!
