Talking 25 hours later

and 849 miles with many a gallon of fuel,
the new truck did a great job, I left last night towing about 8000 lbs (new mini-Excavator) , drove to Berea, Ky , then in the morning , I dropped it off, then to Charlotte, Wv picked up a allmand 4x4 mini back hoe which weights about 6500 lbs plus the trailer, drove to Mt. Vernon, Oh.
dropped it off then drove through the blowing snow back to Dayton. Wow that V-10 is sweet , the ride sure was comfy, needs shocks but other then that it was a good ride.

Lol on the second mortgage , but the V-10 did a little better on fuel then the 5.4 did . Ryan I think the fuel cost was around somewhere around $300.

which was good considering what the truck did.

Hey are you getting wedding gitters yet ?
