Not sure what the problem is, but I'm guessing rust/scale somewhere (everywhere?) in the fuel system. Tank is sealed, all new fuel lines, two filters, so it may be from a gas station's tanks.

Final mileage tally: 3,241 miles
Glad you made it home! Rest up. Work on it tomorrow

Good to see you home, I know the feeling of finally being home after a long trip in an old truck.

BTW, nice avatar

Excellent! That means everybody is back home now, except for Ty who has apparently decided to tour the entire southern United States, LOL.

Get some rest my friend. You deserve it.

Ross,
Very happy to hear you are home. Bet it will be good to sleep in your own bed tonight.

I may never get home! Such is life as a small business owner. It's ok, sitting in the truck gives me time to think about life and projects. Good way to clean the mind.

So how long before your ready to drive the truck again ? I bet your real proud of your trip. Nothing like driving your own creation on a long trip.
