Still limping along......reason #3576312578 you should always carry duct tape.

Boost keeping at 2psi, egts at 1200. I feel like the v10 guys.....no turbo, poor mpg, and a top speed of only 50mph. Passing over lake lavon now.

I think @Apocalypse was looking for a 6.0 Excursion. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to trade.

Not interested, his is a crappy 7.3! You can tell because they break down all the time

Which he should know, since he drools over Twitch's every chance he gets. Sheesh. In such a hurry to talk poop he can't get his facts straight. Foreshame, foreshame.

For some reason I thought his was a 7.3. I've never looked under his hood

Well guys we have arrived. We said hello to the family and I got the trailer all set up and I am ready for bed. I will fill everyone in on the exact details tomorrow when I am at the computer and can see straight.

I am no longer telling people that I bought a Travel Trailer for vacations and fun. I really bought a TT so the family has something to do during roadside repairs.

Thanks guys for your help, information and thoughts. The second half of this trip is not the worst cross country travel I have had, but it does rank high up there on the list.
