Subject: DML: PLEASE Dont put spacers on your trucks.....
>TB spacers dont work on our motors.
>We are bottom feeders. Our fuel is delivered at the bottom not from the

>Right now, without a spacer..........
>you stomp the pedal, and you feel a hesitation before the truck launches.

spacer
>to compensate for the lift.

>I made a polished billet spacer.....its really purty, but it didnt help
