I think they had so much red silicone sealant around the housing that it had 
closed off the air holes.  It is about 1/3 the speed of a granny gear in a 4 
spd truck.  Sorta makes sense since it is a 13 spd  Huh!!!!!????  You almost 
have to drive a stake in the ground to tell it is moving... 

 I LOVE IT !!!!!!  I am really going to enjoy this one....  Just wish I could 
afford fuel..
