at the meeting we had in schomberg they said we were more than likely gonna need the flexplate, balancer, and blanket only if the truck was turning over 4 grand. we were gonna have to put an rpm sensor on like the tractors to enforce that we werent turning 4 grand. i think that if you are driving a standard then you should have a tranny blanket, but i have never heard of an auto blowing apart and hurting anyone. i would love to start pulling PSD but i cant afford to at the moment.
