    At the flying j off exit 10 on 94 in wi. To deliver at rexam tomorrow. Got a pre plan for after that in Shakopee. 32 miles there and 35 miles to relay it at the S. St. Paul yard. Who ever is getting it... you're welcome.

    I changed the fuel filter this morning before I left and the power seems to be better. Will have to wait and see about the fuel economy

    At a flying J on 380 in Iowa. Seriously starting to love my curtain loads. Good miles this week with tons of stop pay. AND I was in the beautiful weather all week.

    Thats how my 13 is. Slap full to top, change it, start it up right back to the top. I don't bother anymore let pm's take care of it. Fuel mileage is decent but 7.71 goal this month good luck that isn't going to happen.

    Yeah... mine has been around 6.6 loaded on flat ground. 8.2 with an empty deck. Spent all day at 60mph and it didn't improve from when I spend all day foot welded to the floor. Was poor today I assume from the bit of idling for priming the system.

    I'm curious to see if it improves.

    Yeah mine goes straight to the top after I change it as well. Only change it now when the truck acts like its starved of fuel.

    It went straight to the top as well, but after an short time of high idle and with the engine still idling unscrew the little top bit until the fuel level starts going down until it gets to the large black locking ring and then tighten the cap back down. It should come back up about an inch above the ring. Found that in the filter manual I looked up online. They didn't tell me that on the phone when I called
