Sean;

As you can see I lost my 'sig' line, had to reload the mail program and
screwed things up, just what I need when I'm so busy.

I still on occasion get the backfire, only when it is dead cold and if I
just happen to blip the throttle a little to quickly, before any warm-up.
I think it might have something to do with keeping it in the garage and
starting out in the chilled/dense air of the early morning. Never ever
happened except on dead cold start-up. May also have a lot to do with the
excellent :-P ignition system that CC uses on these trucks.

Later
