Road trip, again...

I'll be running up to NC to get a work trailer tomorrow, and back to FL. If you see me broke down feel free to pull over and laugh at me

If I'm not broke and you see me at least say hi

I'll be headed up empty, so I'm gonna see how my mpg's I can squeeze out of these new sticks.

My buds Dodge Cummins Turbo diesel 2500 crew cab long bed regulary sees 23-24 mpg, his bud's crew cab long bed 3500 dually sees 28 towing, chipped and some mods. Have your truck worked on and tuned by the proper people and I'm sure you will see 25.

With just a new tranny I'm at 20 now, empty in 140hp tunes. I was at 18 stock before, 17 with a loaded bed. Just saying.

No, Frank, I was not over in the Orlando/Tampa yesterday...I have seen a truck once in Orlando that had the same conversion package as mine-same color.......MY truck's conversion package was done by an outfit up in GA called Elite, now out of business, it was sold new at Nick Nicholas Ford in Inverness, Florida, I've also seen 1 Econoline with exactly the same pkg...

Again, Have a safe trip Frank!
