My trip

Alot of you know that I transferred from washington state to nebraska just wanted to let you all know how the truck did. I was pulling about 8000 pounds on trailer and cab full of junk. Truck never had a hiccup had to turn down the tuner once we got to the mountain passes but we never let egt get about 1200, trans temp never went about 180 and oil never got above 210. Was very impressed since their is so many miles on my truck. I did hit a pheasant at 75 mph thought it was gonna crack my windshield but the antenna hit it first and trashed the antenna but kept the windshield safe. Also had to change my pinnion seal when we got here, when we finally parked it was just pouring. But all in all it was an awesome trip for the truck. Glad I own a PSD

So I take it you are in/near Omaha somewhere? I'm over that way a lot, my other half's parents live in Fremont.

You moved at the perfect time. The midwest experienced a really tough winter this year.

I am in bellevue near the base. It is pretty close to south dakota probably went right by your area when I came through. It was a pretty good pull and am very impressed with my truck. Giving it a couple days off now then back to work for it. Can't give them to many days off then they don't want to run.
