Very nice!

I love that part of the country. I may have gone to the event if my Ex would have been diesel. My twin diesel is a tad bigger than the Ex. Let's just say I do love the smell of diesel in the morning!

Well, now we know why you have been doing so much to your Ex.

Just did a 1400 mile trip through Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and parts of Kansas City. Lie o meter said 24 mph, calculated around 16 mph. 2002 7.3 averaging around 680 miles to a tank.

Also a present surprise started running prolong after oil changes and my oil leaks have stopped. =0)

I started running duralube last spring after a good friend of mine introduced me to it. The stuff is cheaper than prolong, works just as good, and you get more bang for your buck.

It is nice to hear that from a diesel owner. You can't get that over in the SD forum, which is why I like hanging out with you X owners.
