    Was it the thick pipe or the thin? Reason being if it was some of the thick cut, you could tighten as tight as you can and always put a twist in your strap for pipe. If it was the thin then then you'd prob have to tighten as tight as you can without damaging the product and just check every 100-150 miles or so.

    Yeah, the latter is what I needed to do, but when mine shifted, it was less than 30 miles after I checked and tightened it last. I had 5 stops of varying size though, it was all mixed in and the bundle that collapsed was 1 inch and the very bottom bundle. The wood they block around it separated and the bundle rolled, then the 6 or seven bundles sitting on top of it leaned with it.

    Uhg. I'm working way to hard getting home LOL. 6 days, 69 hours, 3800 miles so far. I get 6 hours back at midnight to add to my 1 hr on the clock. I have 450 miles to my next drop. I might have bit off a little more then I can handle. Good thing Utha has a high speed limit. Although when the agent gets up im gonna see if I can deliver Friday morning. The load I committed to had deliver by Friday as the date. We will see. Next load picks up Friday and at least gets me to Washington this weekend. Just can't deliver it till Tuesday :(

    Didn't your MPG go up with the injectors? Have you had time to realize the difference? LOL I'm starting to think you just like having your truck in a shop. ;p. It's like a drug for you. Well I hope the Doc has what you need.

    Accross from petro. He's east side. Petro is west side of interstate. He removed that one thing and did ecm tune up. Make sure to use effingham not mt Vernon.
    I've noticed a big difference already. Throttle response is very good.
