    I would say your correct on the leveling bars. He told me with this new system the truck will not run and pull very good if the trailer and truck are not matched up on some new leveling system on the truck, said if it is not matched up the truck will do poorly. I guess it’s some new device to try and eliminate so many wrecks from the inexperienced folks pulling smaller trailers??

    At least she is still communicating with you.

    I always pass on situations like that. But the fact that the guy will park at a Love's is an indication he will park at a Pilot also. Sounds like she may be a poor judge of character as well.

    Got a load. Somewhere in Claremore, OK going to Edmonton, AB for Monday. Kind of ####ty I'm going to have to cut the weekend short (going with friends to their cabin), but such is the life when there aren't any other drivers to take the load from HQ. Plus, money right now is nice before the snow flies.

    It doesn't grow on one getting scratched all the time trying to figure out what next either.

    Good observation that I agree with. I think it's a hell of a lot more than 2 million though. I bet we have that many in Texas alone. The government could fire half of their employees and still have 2 times more than they need.

    You gotta pull all the junk off first. Think the video description said it was true straight pipe from turbo back.

    @ShooterK2 my plans are to build this engine to a CPL 625, in doing so the injector timing will have to be changed on the camshaft. That’s where this offset key comes into play when installing the Cam gear on the shaft...... and yes I’ll probably turn a little juice to it ;). I could average 5 1/4 mpg before if I kept my hoof out of it, I usually cruise around 65-67 mph do to my gearing, that may change later too.....


    Edit: the camshaft itself has to be changed too since they are different.
