Good Morning all. Good day to try and get stuff done. Need to pull my chip off the PCM and see if problems go away.

No problems at all Pat... unless you count the refueling stops... 12mpg is a little painful in the wallet!
I'm guessing you still got 20mpg even with pulling a trailer?

Howdy Trent! Rob, I was getting about 14, but that was at 80 mph.

Sheesh Pat, no wonder one of the trailer tires came apart on the way out there! Talk about driving the wheels off...

Good evening or morning. Long day here. This morning I was heading to Pierre to get more stuff. Hit a deer with the 98 just south of Rapid. Did a lot of damage. Well regrouped used dad's 04 Super duty and a gooseneck flatbed to bring back my 79.

Lots of deer around this year. Hope insurance covers the damage...

At least you were close to home, instead of out in the middle of nowhere... Sucks to have to deal with, worse if it has to be hauled back from 2 hours out...

It should be fixed. I will need to get my 79 back into daily driver condition ASAP. The body man the family uses is busy for next couple of weeks.
I have to haul another couple of load. I have housing figured out it is a great deal too.
