    Adjusted the steering stops this weekend, turned them in about a 1/3 of an inch. What a difference it made. Now it actually turns sharper than a w9 with a 20k steer axle Lol. Didn't think they were gonna budge but after 2 days of liquid wrench and working it back and forth they busted loose. Should of done that a long time ago

    Same here not too many of the fleet spec trucks pass this small 11.9L. 42k on the other day and topped that 4 mile hill on 80 in pa where it splits off to 380 at 52mph. All the heavy fleet trucks were about 45ish.

    You're right with the emission statement.

    And the auto trans

    @singlescrewshaker -

    ......As it neared the top of the grade, which had so discouraged the larger engines, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery.......

    This one reaches the top without dropping a gear— unless you there’s a double line and you can’t pass

    @tramm01, You suck dude. Sorry, but your pics make me jealous. Seriously though, that's awesome. Surely wherever your workin needs a hard workin, middle aged c'ocky white guy? I'll bring the Coors.

    Saw my first moose a couple weeks back up north of Buena Vista

    If you’re a golfer and can swim, you might talk to the boss — the swimming part is important
