Yeah Glenn. I read the lubricity tests and OptiLube is the top one. They make a few different other blends for summer and winter fuel, but I got the XL for the higher lubrication factor for those brand new expensive injectors. It's $40 per gallon and only takes 4 oz. per tank on our trucks. Maybe give it a shot.

Byron, on the stop and turn light on your trailer, check the under hood fuse panel, as it has a fuse for each side light on the trailer. A 5 amp if I remember right.

Thanks Tim!! I did finally look at it and found the #6? Fuse to be blown. Changed it and has been good all day. It's a 10 amp.

And some really good views!!

We pulled in last night. It's been a flawless trip over all. I'll sit down and give more detail tonight. On a quick note, I did discover that my truck almost felt like it always wanted to be at 70 when cruising. I just went with it.
