    Can I still get a Tornado? Do they make one for a Caterpillar? Better fuel economy and better acceleration. Sounds like a win-win to me !

    Hey, what was that thing they sold for trucks? It was a pipe that you installed in the are intake system. I think it had spiral grooves on the inside. I think it was supposed to make the air swirl.

    If you look closely at the ports in a 2-stroke Detroit you will notice they are cut with slight angle causing the air to have a swirling effect as it enters the cylinder. Which improved combustion...not 10 feet away where the air enters the system! As said earlier I think by Joseph, people will buy anything thinking it will be better or will save them money, want an example?? What is this original posting all about?

    From Facebook page "Track that Truck"

    We noticed the front “seal” (it's actually more like a gasket) of the transmission was leaking. Hard to see in the photo… inside of the bell housing was wet with tranny oil. Since the truck was already in the shop we decided to go ahead with the repair. Once the transmission was separated from the engine we discovered the rear main engine seal was just starting to leak also. The transmission cross shafts revealed that grease fittings were not installed in the transmissiom housing. These repairs have now been completed.
    We also decided to have the Lipe clutch replaced with an EZ Pedal clutch. The original Lipe clutch was replaced at 53k miles due to a defective clutch. The folks at Lipe clutch were great to work with and 100% covered the replacement. We just were not happy with the operation of the Lipe clutch however so we ultimately decided to have it replaced.

    We sent our injectors out to have them bench tested. The injectors did not pass a bench test. We are replacing them with a set of "balanced" injectors.

    I am just amazed with the poor quality of this build! It seems that nothing was done correctly by PP and the suppliers. I am sure that some attorney is salivating at the prospect of suing them.
