Well I'm Back!!

Just got back from from a 2400 weary mile trip to NH pulling my 30 ft TT. All went well but when I got up to NH my fuel leaked came back again. I bit the bullet and to it in to the dealer in Claremont NH. Some kind on valve assem near the pump was leaking and by a miracle they had a kit in stock! Go figuire! $266 later no leaks! But the truck earned its keep on that trip! Other than that not so much a hiccup! You can't beat 7.3 power in the mtns. Bigred hardly ever got out of overdrive! The highest tranny temp on the trip was 147 deg. That extra cooler gonna keep the thing alive for awhile. After 25 days with 2 small dogs one african grey parrot and the wife we now are looking for a bigger trailer! something with slideouts ! We now got the ponies to pull it! Nice to home to my Carolina Mtns!!
