No offence taken, it drives great, I have been doing good on fuel consumption, 70mph @ 2500rpm. The welded rear end makes the tires squeal everywhere but other than that I have no real complaints, except no power mirrors, windows, a/c etc
. As far as adaptation to the SM465 were you talking about anything specific? My main purpose for installing the SM465 was to tow trailers, take 100mi trips to the lake, idle around on the rocks in 110degree heat and then make it home w/o worrying about cooking an automatic.
