I was thinking on leaving work early on Friday, but if I bring the 5er to work with me it is only 10 miles to the CG.

Yeah, I know, but I always wanted to see one, now I want to see a bigger one, but in the middle of some field some where.
How many sites did you reserve Jay, I remember 6 correct? Will there be enough room for me, or are all the sites spoken for?

It was actually very close to home, and would have only missed it by .5 miles at the most, but it was very very weak, barely broke any small tree branches.

You know, I have not. I suspect it is too late to do much with it. Something just feels funny the last few time driving. I was going to get that bed liner and doing 70 on the interstate and my temps hit 170.

My computer is too stupid to give that info Lee. I do have two seperate guages hooked up to two different sensors. They do read different temps but they were both climbing that day. Granted it was over 90 out too but that seems high running unloaded and no topper either.
I would like someone else to drive this thing and see what they think

My V10 will run about 80 over ambient empty before my new cooler, now it is about 70 over.
When I towed my 5er to Canada I was about 90-100 over in OD and 100 - 120 over in D and that is with the additional Hayden cooler. I did see temps up to 220 when pulling a 10% grade for 6 miles, and it was only 60 out.
