i love my 6.0
straight thru the mountains, clear to boston, massachusetts and back!!!! pretty much non stop 75mph(2800rpm) the whole way.......

just wanted to share the joy of a wonderfully dependable beast!!! and it got 12mpg!!!!

ok, time for bed....whew

 

Very cool...and one long trip

 

I drove 1200 miles one way in 18hrs, Crested Butte Co. to Houston Tx once.

 

Went from Dallas to Las Vegas non stop 21hrs....well had to get fuel a few times for me and the truck. Tim

 

Did you get that BIG straight exhaust?

 

WOW...
let me know when you guys are out next time....
I'll stay off the roads !!!!

I get bored with it WELL before 8 hours and find myself on cruise and not paying attention at all....

Sorta wakes you up when you realize you just went thru a town and barely remember it

 

I did Fairfax, VA to Carlsbad, CA in 53.5 hours in a Ryder rental truck with a 65 MPH speed limiter. I was able to get it up to 85 though in neutral coming down I-8 into San Diego Trip was about 3200 miles as I recall.

Would have been much more pleasant in my PSD.

 

Thats for sure, didnt remember going through Arizona.....got my attention when we got to Mead Lake(Hoover Dam) and there was about 6 guys standing there with M16's with a couple of dogs....road block checking for terrorist....you should have seen there faces when my dogs hit the windows.....then you should have seen mine.....life flashed before my eyes.....first time I've ever been lookin up the barrel of an M16. Tim

 

That IS quite an alarm clock !!!!!

YEARS ago, I remember when I was working overseas, I volunteered for the night shift since our mainframe had not come in and it was REALLY hard to do any coding with a computer - so I rarely had to go in... but when I did, the driver would pick me up at the villa (really ) I'd sleep all the way in...
he'd drop me off at the front gate and I'd walk into the compound to the computer center... (with no computer )

one night I was dragging since I was surprised I had to go in and hadn't slept that day...
and as I'm walking in I hear someone in yelling at me in Arabic(which I didn't know) and the click, click, click of a round being chambered in an m-16

Arrogant, ugly american that I was then - I yelled back until I woke up and realized that he didn't even need to HIT me with that round... the sonic blast would probaly kill me !!!! then I got calm and held my hands up....

Seems his commanding officer had just "tested" him to see if he was challanging strangers and had reamed him out for not !!! Lucky me !

I didn't have ANY problem staying awake that night

 

I'll bet...today you probly would be shot....or captured, then executed....that would be a BAD day. Tim

 

i will be going from nova scotia canada to LA in january. that is a 3700 mile trip. i hope it goes well.

 

i made it home from ft lauderdale FL once in 21 hrs........ 1310mi... that was with a loaded trailer. i hate having to do that.

theres nothing worse than the numb woozy dizzy feeling u get after fighting sleep and a rough ride

 

WELL

look what the vultures dragged back...

One of those big...hosses. Smelly creatures

 

I like his new wife.....

 

Did you have a diesel? I ran from Omaha to Maryland towing a car with a 20' gasser rental truck (Penske) and I could barely do 40MPH uphill. When I turned in the truck I found out I could have requested the International diesel. Darn it all, that would have been cool! Moral: if you have to move, request the diesel.
