Those propane regulators are junk I am on my 3rd one in 2.5 yrs. and the 2nd on my stove/oven. They were not leaking just would not adjust for proper pressure. Be sure and check your pressure after install.

Hope it goes well this weekend Roy.

We can't take another wait if you come back and order an F-450.

First Tow

Howdy guys! !
1st Tow with Jolly Green! !
Yippee! !!!

We are sitting in a nice comfortable 5th wheel. .....Furnace brought the temperature up to 70°. Outside temp 52°F. It has been raining all morning.
First thing I noticed was the easy and very smooth start and acceleration! !
Much better than the 2011 F350 SRW I had. 65 mph on a short run of interstate and then 65 on 2 lane roads. Up and down and windy roads.
Truck drove like nothing was being towed. The exhaust brake is much better than what the earlier years had.
The airbags are great. Started with 50 psi and then went to 60 psi. The truck was level and rode on rough roads very nice. The last 4 miles was up a steep muddy / rocky trail that flattened out to a muddy trail. What a mess.
It has stopped raining. Hope it is sunny tomorrow. We are on the shore of a reservoir outside of Augusta Montana.
Pictures when I get home Monday Evening.

Roy, great up date. I guess I'm going to have to up date trucks. It's only the money of course.
