Talking Vacation

Got this message about not posting for 2 weeks, been on vacation and it was great ! Went thru 11 states and put over 5000 miles on the truck with no problems at all. The ebpv mod worked good also, a big help when going down those grades. An interesting thing, the biggest majority of 5th wheels trailers and truck campers had Ford trucks pulling and carying them . We noticed this before but seems more now than ever..

Kris, went thru western Ky. and Tenn, Ark, Texas, NM, Co, Wy., Ne., Mo., Ill,. In., then home to Oh. The psd never so much as hic-cuped, I do need to change the pre-pump filter as it looks really dark. 5157 miles, 393 Gal. 13 mpg avg. not bad.

I love getting out on the road pulling the trailer. That's when the engine really comes alive and you can hear how strong they are. The turbo spools up and stays between 10-20 lb of boost all the time, unless you are going down hill.
