That song was lost on me and I had to Google it. It turns out, like so many things, Sr. is the one dearer to our hearts.
Yeah , i keep forgetting I'm old and so are my songs... but that's a good one around here because he mentions WV coal mines...

Ok , after some more test drives and observations I can report that the truck is faster now, not a little but ALOT ! Turbo seems to spool up quicker and it even sounds better... Transmission is smooth now and the fuel is evaporating from the oil as i type ... its also cleaner than it was before and a few of the dents have somehow disappeared... a quick check of my gas mileage shows i have went from 18.5 mpg to around 28.5 mpg...
So, although mine was tougher than most, I feel like I got the best results in the end...

I’m glad your situation has been resolved Robert. Your wife is no doubt happier too, after seeing the TW refund on the CC.

Winning, nothing but winning. One SuperCab at a time.

RETIRED!!!!
Got up this morning with this on my list. After watching Looney Tunes and getting some genius inspiration from Wil E Coyote, I went to the garage. 30 minutes later, I was finished. Made a big difference for my truck. I might just start doing this once a year. And I will be sending @DukeCanBuildit his pex clamp back. Didn’t need to throw it.
