    m1008 lacking power at full throttle

    Vin Stencil

    Yeah I understand the concern. But it's what ever they want. I had made up my own #'s at first and called DMV and told them what I had and what I was about to send in and the lady on the phone said no I don't think so and asked her supervisor and then she told me what #s to put on the truck...
