Great news.
Thanks for the update as a biodieseler I can appreciate the free fuel idea.
Not long ago we added shocks with over load springs. It was fairly easy to
do, but that was on a Chevy Caprice.
I have been looking for a diesel compression tester I could afford so that
is good to know Harbor Freight has them and they work. 460psi? Wow I didn't
know the diesels had that much compression.
Anyway thanks for the info.
