Only problem is that MythBusters tested that theory at the blazing speed of 45mph. Since we all drive our trucks below 45mph I know we won't see any difference. As for what happens when you go faster as a very few insane speeders do, all I can say is that a close friend found an improvement with a 92 Ford F150. YMMV literally.

I sure would have never thought that would be the case tho -- Larry T (66 MGB, 74 911, 91 300D) _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
