Yes...its far from stock....24's, 37" tires, 1" steel plate in bed, full 4 link suspension setup front and rear...and my fat a$$ add up to just under 12k. I have CAT scale ticket to prove it.

This may have something to do with the stellar 8-10MPG that I get unloaded.....

Anything from DMPE yet? Did he open up the blowers an find $72 of spare change in them? Did he have to call a bomb squad in to remove all the fuel from them?

I talked to Brian yesterday. The blowers are apart and have been cleaned up. Everything looked pretty good. It shouldn't be any more than about 10 grand to fix them.

Yes, he told me it was almost $75 dollars, and he was putting it in his wallet for finding it. He also mentioned I was missing a rotor in each of the blowers. I told him to remove the other and fill the void with quik-crete. The fuel he found, was poured out into a can. He asked to use it in his shop mower. We decided to tap the blower for it's own spark plug and add a MSD box to ignite the fuel in the blowers. Supposed to be safer and more reliable.

Yes, I also heard he cleaned them up. He said for 10k, he would spray them out with carb cleaner and will be sending them back. He dyno'd them on a bone stock, spare engine he had there...It made 1900hp on stock ignition.
