How much did it cost you? $2000
Did you notice any difference? YES, a lot more power.

Yes, I would say at least until the end of the year.
Son is doing good at the gun shows every weekend moving these cans.
Planning another trip maybe Wed or Thursday.
Eglin was the easiest base to get onto. Flashed my Military ID and drove right in.
Made it home yesterday around 2pm. Have to plan another trip next week to get the rest of the cans.
Big thing will be unloading the trailer to make another trip.
We put the 30 cal cans inside the 50 cal cans and then put them inside the "fat" 50 cans to save space. It was a heavy load.

Picked up 20 pallets today, have to make another trip next week for the 10 pallets I had to leave behind.
Truck would not start after we stopped to eat. I put a bag of ice on the injector pump. Took about 4 hours of trying everything to get it started. Up and running now.
Getting on 1-10 east...
