    Remember to allow about 5 MPH at 60 when you ride up where Barney hangs out. You will be going a little faster.

    Was that the 359 with the single stick air shift @wore out ?
    I didn't realize you only have a .79 in this new 379? I thought it was a newer 13,

    Yes it was my single stick 359. It came with a 13 double over. Pulling it and going with the aux trans behind a RTLO18913B was the best move I made. Though it was expensive as hell.

    Yea my new ride is a RTO15715.

    According to my GPS I gained about 4 mph at 1600 rpm. @70 now seems to cruise with little more torque at that rpm vs 1750 like before.
