It is late at night and very tired and I seemed to have missed reading it..... what did the dealer do for 1400.00 to get the truck running good?

And as a suggestion, the administrator should remove the #number in post one as not to get unwanted texts in years to come.

i think my favorite is 395 up the eastern side sierras.. bishop, lone pine, mammoth, ridgecrest. - so pretty.

and- the dealership replaced two alternators.

I just made that drive, in a normal size truck you can't see the dam because of the jersey barriers. A semi would have better visibility.

I did 95 - 376 to Austin - 305 to BM - 80 - 95.... a whole lot of nothing!

Im heading out west tmrw. Orange Co to be exact. Gotta swing into Vegas to visit the daughter.
Bdpotts, my last post on here was going to offer to leave the truck here at my pad (north of amarillo) but, you got ur running👍
..nothing from here til Albaquerque but flat as a pancake i40...then, the hills thru that Mexican word town/city(think it starts with a V) is cool. But, the drive doesn't get better til Flagstaff...only cool spot to stop is Russell's truck stop at NM/Tx border
That 395 from i15 is a hoot!, that is until ur out of Adelanto. That damn 1 way highway, blows especially when towing...lol. Got a few hills/mountains that'll test ur outfit around Ridgeline haha..i take that downward hill at about 80mph and bomb over the r.r. tracks bc, you'll need every bit of speed/power to make it up what's in front of you....lol
Yup, been that way hundreds of times fish'n the Eastern Sierra's. And it's a tradition to load up on homemade bread, crazy priced donuts and their dynamite egg croissants at Shatt's Backery in Bishop...ya buddy!!
usually pull off in coso junction to catch a power nap to finish the journey....

You were in my neck of the woods when your adventure started...and we spent the night in Shamrock Wednesday in the 5th wheel on the way to Grandma's house. Glad to hear you are on the road and rolling! Good luck with the rest of your journey!
