    Deuce Fuel Mileage

    alpha, I've done some machine work to my turbo's casings when i rebuilt it. It improved air flow on the test bench. As far as the tire pressure. I've always ran them at the max because i haul heavy loads with it. As far as the ride goes it rides like crap. But the spring seats helped alot.

    Pitman Arm Removal?

    I have to use pullers alot at work. We put never seze on the pullers threads and the tip where the screw touches the shaft. This greatly reduces the force needed to pull. And it saves the pullers threads.
