Wow, so many comments/questions. Where to start...
Sean - Glad to hear you’re doing better. Sounds like a crazy time for sure
Eric - Sounds like you’ve got a crazy few weeks planned. Post some pics of the new trailer (and truck) when you get a chance.
Trustin - I’m guessing your trailer weights around 7,000lbs, so I bet that 6.0 will pull it with ease.

OK so I am starting the recovery process and part of that was sleeping in my own bed.
Sure is nice not having to deal with that pain.
So who had looked at the Western Meet thread?
Here is the link to the planing page.

Somewhere in that territory - we're going to hit the scale on the way out to the coast if I remember. You can't notice the trailer behind ya, but I've got to get used to the temps in warm weather as I've yet to make a trip with this Ex yet. Towing across the flats on US2 between Monroe and Snohomish I was hitting low 230s ect/eot with the A/C on. From what I've read I'm in normal-ish territory with a big load on a warm day. My delta was only about 3-4 and I've got brand new ELC and the fan appears to work, and I run the monitor 100% of the time, so I'll see how it goes and if it starts to feel unnormal. Cools back down to the low 190s very quickly when I park and let it sit. Almost makes ya wonder if you should just turn the monitor off and watch the needles because they hardly budged from their normal spot on the dash, so I feel I'm likely over-concerned. Jeff thought those were the temps he hit with his 6.0 when he towed my bigger trailer home on a cool night from Tacoma, and I've yet to ask my dad-in-law what his 6.0 hits towing their 10K lb juggernaut.

Trustin - Yeah, Ford’s gauge is horrible...has been for years. I run a ScanGauge II for just that reason. I want to know as temps are climbing so I can adjust before things get too hot. I screamed my V10 over the mountain passes in hot summer heat with my 8,500lb Artic Fox years ago and I don’t think the temps got above 200 degrees. Hopefully your tow goes well this weekend. You’ve got the patience of a Saint if you’re traveling for this weekend.

I wish I woulda been smarter and did something sooner so my advice is get it done and don’t delay. My doctor says I should be good till well after I retire which is just 8 years so that’ll be good.

We are not old we are just experienced and willing to share these with everyone!
It’s like telling sea stories or meeting with the liars club for coffee at the Berry Patch here in Ocean Park. You do know the difference between a sea story and fairy tale, a fairy tale starts out “Once Upon A Time” and a sea story starts “This Is No S&#*”.
