hey finally had a chance to use mine today and wow, its great! didn't use it on the truck though had to wash down the driveway an this thing really gives some great pressure.....cleaned the expansion joints of the driveway with it haha..... and ya you definitely over did it with the shipping, probably coulda used a padded envelope an that woulda worked fine......awesome quality part, thanks for putting the time into it an making it for us!
