Tanks (get it?) for the tip! I'm sure my 4.30:1 gear doesn't help. I think
things will actually get a little better when I put the 35's on her. I got
the low gear in anticipation of the larger rolling stock...let's hope. My
biggest problem is that I live SO close to where I work...less than a mile.
I spend more time warming it up in the morning and evening than I do putting
the miles on. I know what you're thinking, why don't I get off my lazy butt
and walk it...I don't do much walking since an unfortunate off-road accident
in Pismo on a Fourtrax left me partially paralized...besides, I look much
cooler in the Super Duty than I do hobbling down the sidewalk :)))) The guys
that I've talked to drive by a vacuum gauge...
