Well, got back in San Diego around 5 this morning. Gotta say I learned a lot on this trip about the truck, about myself, as well as a new found respect for snow and ice. Plan a turn around trip in just a few weeks and better bet I will be keeping a closer eye on the weather reports. Just sprung for two new interstate batteries today so the install is planned for tomorrow A.M.. Between now and the next trip ive got to figure out why the cruise control is on the blink, need to hook the light up to the EGT gauge, and get after the underside with Fluid Film!

Thanks again guys for all your valuable input that only experience can offer. Everytime I use my truck in a different way I like the thing just that much more! It does everything so well! Well except uturns... I cant imagine a better suited truck for my needs, and to be able to tap into your experience is a giant plus for a diesel greenhorn like myself. Thanks again for all the direction and well thought out replys. Its appreciated!
