    Tell me something, why do you believe some guy on the internet? Not saying he is right or wrong but you don't know him from Adam, and your just trusting his word on it. This is your livelihood, I think I would double check any advice given on specs for something this important.

    Trust him......

    Because if you spent any amount of time here you would know the man knows the specs without having to look them up because they are burnt into his memory and could complete the procedure blindfolded with one arm tied behind his back.

    You are a road train member and been around since 2014. You don't recognize this extremely helpful member? He and the 2 guys that posted after him are part of the most respected members club on TTR.

    I never thought you lied, just wanted the OP to make sure and get it backed up before he went off and set it wrong and you gave the back up, thank.
