Evening all. Back home from the big trip. Five days and 1525.5 kms. At 1491.8 our youngest dog decided it was time to barf.

After pulling some pretty good grades I must say I am pretty impressed with my truck. For the trip I averaged almost 12 mpg. EGT's stayed below 1100 and tranny temps never got over 200.

Wedding was good. Short and sweet.

Pulling a 5th wheel. I would say somewhere around 8000 lbs.

Good morning everyone.

Sorry for hiding lately, but I have been kinda busy and mostly away from the computer.

Gotta do a couple high priority drafting revisions and then send a cooler full of water samples and then I am heading back to Houston for the remainder of the day.

It seemed like on the way there every hill I went down I was wondering what it would be like coming back up. Some of the hills that look pretty mild are the tough ones and visea/versa.
