To Power Up:

Since we have been customers of Power Up for the past ten years or so, I thought that I would send you the following.  Your products have worked great for us and this is a good example of the benefits that we have seen through their use.

My main reason for sending you theses pictures is to show off the truck.  It is a 1999 Peterbuilt that has 600,000KM on the odometer and still has all of its original parts, that have been lubricated with your Power Up products.  The truck is equipped with a 475 CAT engine that is putting out 500HP.  The engine has NNL690 added each time the oil is changed; the differentials, transmission, hubs on the tractor and trailer are treated with NNL690G and the suspension is greased, along with the U-joints, with your Thixogrease.  The fuel is treated with your Gen49D each time the servicing is done and includes your Power Up additives in every instance.  Willie tells me that the truck still has the original fuel injectors as well as all of the original steering and suspension parts including the original U-joints.

Looking through my photographs the other day I came upon the enclosed photos of our tractor trailer, loaded with our track "skeletonizer".  This is just one of the many loads that this truck has to transport all over Canada, to the different job sites on Railway property, where we are contracted to perform track maintenance.  The "skeletonizer" approaches the maximum load carrying capability of this truck.

This gives testimony to the fact that your products extend the life of all the moving components on our equipment that has been treated.  Please feel free to use these photos and this story on your web site.  I look forward to seeing our truck pictured on your web page.
