And what would the settings be? thanks, Bear Last edited by Sixgun; 06/13/13 12:16 AM. I'm 55 now, no time to waste. Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"

UPDATE,front band, 10 inch lbs made zero sense to me, went 72 as always, backed out 1.5 turns as spec. rear band 72 inch lbs then backed out 2 turns.Hope it works OK. Final outcome: Test ran to MickeyDs last night, chirps second on easy upshift, think I got it right.Thanks for watching. Last edited by Sixgun; 06/13/13 02:45 PM.
