Interference fit required for wheel hub assembly to knuckle?
I do not think it is an interference fit. even though it is usually difficult to remove the hub. when cleaned up and reinstalled it is a nice slip fit for me.

Is there a tune for towing, that would be my main goal for the Quadzilla other than a milage economy when running around town. although the truck is 90% use to tow or haul something. Will purchase one when I sell a transmission or old truck I have for sale.

Towing upgrades.
I do not have the Quadzilla but would like to see it in action and see if I should go that route. It is a lot to spend if I can not get a big benifit. Thanks

Towing upgrades.
Wish there was a knowledgeable person in the So. Calif. Santa Clarita area that is familiar with the qiadzillia that could set me up and see it in action in its use, and maybe I could trade some of my abilities.

Blown Head Gasket...
I have the kit made with a plunger type air compressor and I have in some cases with pressurized over flow tank vehicles cut the heater hose and installed a copper fitting between the hoses with a silver soldered schrader valve to test the system with air conditioning hoses. can set it in the window area and drive and watch the readings. Can pressurize at the schrader and look for leaks.
