When my truck was in the shop my boss was asking me why I was putting gears in it? He didn't understand why I would do that. I told him to get in his truck and put it in 2nd gear and try to take off. That was the best way I could explane it to him. And in fact that is just how much better my truck felt. I now have a 1st gear to take off in. And I drove it for a year like that!!
