The current pickup reliability improved with the added weight. I had no power interruption since the additional weight had been installed. The engine stalled about twice a day without the additional weight.
There is also another nice side effect. The engines runs even more silent because the weights glued to the sides reduce vibrations of the shell even more.
I would recommend to add weights at the sides below the windows due to the two positive effects at virtually no cost and space is no problem in the spacious cab shell.

Reinhard, what is the final weight after the last modification?

BTW, Canada Post is sure taking it's time! Wink At least, I have a layout to keep me busy.
