    121 gallons of fuel left, and I would guess about 14 gallons of DEF used?

    Blackie typically uses 1 gallon of DEF for 30 gallons of fuel @ 7.5 mpg.

    As mileage decreases DEF consumption increases.

    Did a different truck leave from the opposite direction? Using 50 gallons more? The one from Wisconsin was wearing Berkenstocks. The one from the south biker boots with hardened toe?


    Dave get a stick, just to be safe.

    They are sleeping, right? What a nice quite place they have chosen. I can't wait to be in one of those! 20210627_094235.jpg

    Well the TA wants $160+ tax for a battery. Thier cheapest. There is a Western star /FL dealer 1.5 miles away. So in the morning with a little luck a battery and a coolant sensor. Changing out the back batteries is such a Hassel. The truck does start with two batteries granted it's 90'F out. Not 4'F. Dog is on a chewing spree. . But she gets me to walk more, which is good.
