    DHK with your MX do you have the fuel filter guage? If so make sure it stays lower than a 5. I have noticed that when mine climbs above 5 my mpg will drop and if it gets around 10 it's crying calling mercy. Plus I was told that with my 10 speed and 3.08 gears to stay around 1250 - 1300 rpm's for this trucks sweet spot.

    No sir, I don't have that gauge, but I've been told the same on the rpm range. Was thinking about getting a scan gauge to have access to all the information that I don't have now.

    He hit me turning so he pulled me by the guard almost out of the parking spot. Mirrrrrorrrrrs. Bambi basher is a beast.

    Sidenote...the accident reporting feature of transflow was pretty simple. Not that I really wanted to try that feature out....

    7 hours stuck at Walmart in North Platte. 19 cases of spinach short. If I was sure I wouldn't be doing a lot of sitting I'd never haul a walmart load again, or a Tyson load for that matter.

    What sucks about that is when it comes from their own cross dock in like Colton. So you're stuck while Walmart figures out how they shorted themselves. Schitzophrenic Walmart.

    Been getting alot of rain here this week. So much, that I'm flooded in. Had to call and extend my home time so I wait for it to dry out. Good thing home and truck are on a hill.
