    You should try the full tilt intake. Tracked mine during the summer and picked up almost .3 with it on an isx. This summer I'll prob do the exhaust

    I am not sure they make them for the D13? Mine is a 2023 D13 with 500 HP.

    Well got up at 5AM to take trailer to the shop and get the SmartTruck top kit installed. That is system I ended up ordering since nothing else seemed to be available. I had messed around for well over 3 months trying to get the other kit that I wanted with no luck. So will see how this thing helps out. Will be good to get a few runs in the cold so I have some kind of record of it before summer kicks in.

    Had some utility trailers with that lip on the top. Wore holes in the roof, had to rivet/glue a plate across it. Took the rest off and filled in the holes.

    Their illustrations helped me understand why they’re only on the upper 2/3 of the trailer. I’ll be curious to see how you do with this.

    Well that is not good. I hope I don't have that issue. If so I guess I could add a thin piece of Rubber or maybe Sentra to make it more stable. How long did this take to happen? I want to keep a close eye on it to make sure I don't have that problem.

    Yes I am wondering if it will really help much at all. If it saves me 1.5-2/10's I would be pretty happy . I thought it was gonna be a maintenance free issue but WICHRIS has had some issues on them. So that kind of popped my bubble a little bit on it. I am hoping maybe it is a problem with an install but I doubt that will be the case.

    They were factory installed rain guard/ deflector. Maybe a rubber strip under the whole length. Not often you're on top of the trailer to inspect something. First i knew of a problem was when one broke loose and was hanging of the rear. Then i started check the others. LOL

    I bought this small ladder ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RDD9HJQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) that I bring with me everywhere. I use it to get on top of stuff to look around. So I am prepared to check it out to ensure I do not have any issues.

    My previous employer had a different style installed on their Utility trailers. They were always getting popped up from the rear. I know, you’ve probably seen that type flipped up, going down the road. However, it’s a different brand and design, so I was hoping the brand you chose would be more favorable.
