Glad to hear your trip went well, Ron.

Merry Christmas!

 

Hey Ron, glad you havin fun bro, and take care of you baby,,,,,,
ill be making sorta trip in the summer, BTS shop , for my new tranny,,,, it will be fun, i have to get readdy to make lots of pix and sounds,,,,

have fun Ron,,,,,

 

Congrats on the good trip. Be well, and let us know how it went on the way home. I know what you mean. I really like my truck at highway speads and a good trip. That stiff suspension really eats up the road and 70 or 70+. Mercy, can't wait to pull the TT to AZ this comming early summer.

 

Wow thats great! looks like you had fun, plus 22 MPG is awesome! i guess that is hand calculated? You must have used bout 66.7 gallons of fuel... which is VERY efficient i'd say.

 

66 gallons times $3 a gallon = about 200 bucks. You couldn't fly three people there on that. Way Cool!

 

22 mpg? how did you do that????

 

Awesome, I really want to take a road trip with my truck and I will soon. I wanted to cruise the California coast on Hwy 101. Start from the top, travel down to the bottom and return home.

Have a blast returning home as well!

 

Good deal Ron. Sea World is great. Make sure to go on that coaster called the "Cracken". That's a blast. Have a safe trip back.

 

thanks guy's..I half to admit when I started out in NH my mpg was around 18 till I got to around Virginia then it went up..it was around 20 degrees in NH and I was full of winter blend..down here the fuel was a little better and I use 18 oz of DK... I drove with the cruse set at 72.and yes all figured out by hand. I was so proud of the girl I'm taking her in today have her washed and waxed in side and out..

tenn...my kids cant wait to ride that coaster...they hear its a blast and it does look it too...

 

Good to hear Ron, I'll be calling Jody in 3 or 4 weeks.

 

your going to love it alan..its like getting a new truck with out falling in love with another one...

hey thats a good idea...i need some new I/C boots...hmmmm ill half to look him up..im heading out that way in about an hour..didnt know he was that close..thanks alot....

 

Hopefully the lines will be as short as they were at Universal on Sat. Longest line we waited in was 20 minutes. Hopefully you are enjoying the weather here. I know this cold front has me shivering tonight (50's) LOL. Just make sure you dont drive to far north on this Florida diesel or you might have some gelling problems. Have a safe trip.
