It was good Don. me and a friend went to Snowshoe Hill Resort to pick up some SCBA tanks he bought for a project. The local volunteer station there was selling old retired steel tanks. My friend is going to be turning them into some nice lamps. Made some good friends with the guys there as well. Was a long drive. And the truck doesnt like the West Virginia mountains too much. And I need to get the tune up done on the truck soon. In total was 10 hours of driving yesterday not counting the stops for dinner in Winchester VA, or fuel. And the layover at the fire station. How are you doing?

Doing good Shaun.. Had a busy day with some work, chiropractor and singing lesson..
Now I am ready for a nap..LOL
I know what you mean about the mountains.. I had a 95 F250 that I took to Vermont when my son was in scouts.. The thing couldn't get out of its own way up some of the mountain roads..

The place we went to sits around 4500 feet up on top of the mountain. The thin air sure doesnt help a N/A engine. Once we got back down closer to sea level it did great again. But I can tell it needs the tune-up done soon. So next payday I will be taking it in for a tune up.

I figure the tune up is needed on the truck. I wont stop going through the mountains Don. Besides the truck is due for a tune up anyway.

Hasnt had its first tune up yet. Owners manual says 100 K but I figure it wont hurt to get it done a bit sooner. Right now the truck has over 68K on the clock. So close enough to get it done and over with.

Since my plugs sit right under the fuel rails I decided to let a shop deal with it. Besides less climbing for me. Most places are in the ball park of 350 for everything to do the tune up on. One place wanted 450 to do it. Dealer is 350 for it so I will have the dealer do it.
