Ain't cheap. Hopefully increases power and mpg better than a warmer thermostat.

One of the Dakotas lost a water pump today. Yay. Had to go downtown and arrange a tow and a ride for the driver. Went and picked up parts and now I get to replace the water pump.

Yup. I usually get 12 pulling the trailer between the cities and Fargo doing 70-75 and stopping a few times.

That head wind the first day or so probably didn't help the mileage either Chris but by the performance alone you know something is wrong. Should still get up and go no problem.

I see frost on the shingles and on the truck too. It is at least freezing.
