For about an hour yesterday I pulled our 7500 pound Jayco camper down interstate 75 doing between 65 and 75 MPH. Out of overdrive with torque converter in at 70 MPH I was doing 2800 RPM. Truck never missed a beat over the 60 or so miles I drove and I even kept up with my buddies Duramax with a 32 Ft fifth wheel strapped to it (Even though I couldnt figure out why the pedal was stuck on the floor).


Bluebeast ya got enough back up lights?

flushed cooling system and replaced the radiator, hoses and Tstat then took it for a litte test drive with my son. She ran a little hot so after dinner I pulled the radiator cap and jacked the right front tire off the ground a little and let her run for a while try and work out any air. We'll see how the commute goes tomorrow.

Yup I can see great backing up. I got the stock 2 the led strip and them 4 I can turn on.



Today I installed a drain in my air tank. Yesterday while trying to figure out why my horns sounded like crap, I was greeted by rusty water spraying out of the tank. I also found that my fuse holder took on water and blew so my compressor wasn't turning on. I guess if you leave a "water tight" fuse holder hanging upside down under the truck it still takes on water lol. I also found out today where my air is leaking. I gotta try to crimp the one thing more to hopefully stop the leak.

Yesterday I also replaced a couple fuses for some of my strobes that stopped working.

i should probably do that too,m though i gotta unbolt the tank form the truck because the twist thing on the drain is free spinning on the bolt. ill prolly do that tomorrow.
