Excellent.

There ya go!!!!!! sounds like you are in Good shape.... dont you love it when a plan comes together... I'm getting the Smarty Jr. To stack under my MP-8 when I get a little Stash Cash set aside... just bought the Bilsteins,,, any body got a recommendation on a 2" Leveling kit that wont eat my Tires???

I pulled some last week to the Races,,, towing 15K,,,,, highest I spiked on any grades was High 1100's but average was in the Mid 700's to 850's Running 65+ will post some Pics of the Rig and toy hauler,,,,

I can leave the MP8 turned up when towing the 15K Toyhauler but it eats the fuel!!!!!!!!! LOLOL,,, have to sneak up on the RPM /speed to keep mileage/EGT's in check LOLOL!!!! easier just to turn it down and lay the wood to it!!!!!!

This Quote was from earlier in this thred,,,, and I stand corrected,,,

I found out Last weekend My Heavy Towing EGT's Dropped 150-200 Deg
with the MP-8 turned up and I averaged 10 MPG hand calculated just staying @ 65MPH or Below......
