Ah, Willamette pass........separates the people who take care of their rigs, from the folks who never lift the hood............I have seen more people broke down trying to go over the max. grade areas on that road than anywhere else. I saw a motorhome burn to the ground from a engine fire, a guy who thought he could pull a 25' cabin cruiser over the pass with 4cyl. toyota pick-up(fail).....a brand new Dodge Cummins that apparently blew a transmission..........more over-heats and blown motors than you can shake a stick at.....Lots of big rigs with brakes on fire going down the hill too!

I'm been looking over my F250 checking things out and tidying stuff up. Doing an LOF tomorrow it's about due, changed the plugs the other week wire's are good have to order a cap and rotor. Mallory parts this trucks been fun figuring all the things that have been changed discovered it's been switched to mass air.
