    Wow, sorry for not checking in for a bit. Not broken down and never got any notifications anyone had replied so never looked back in x.x. That said other then some planned maintaince and upgrades and a couple minor issues like a wheel bearing or hub gasket nothing really serious has happened. So hence why i havent been posting lol. Figured id check in and let you all know im alive and still trucking.

    Anywho in Rough order.

    I like the peterbilt up in watertown, they seem.to do a good job for general paccar stuff. The alignment shop in sioux falls is great for well alignments leafs ect. They did the new suspension on my lonestar. Flat out massive upgrade after i twisted the old leaf (gods #### IN and their #### roads) which is fine because i planned to do it ANYWAY just not so soon

    The pete down in norfolk ne is the only dealer i let touch my engine though. Talk to russ and dan. They will get you sorted out. Cost a bit more but the workmenship is top tier and anything they have ever fixed STAYS fixed. Cat dealer in watertown is top tier for hydraulic stuff even if its not really their thing. But they do most of my maintaince on that. Vander in sioux falls is good for oddball parts as well. Shur-co in yabkton is my go to for tarp stuff and ive not really needed much in the way of trailer repairs so cant give you a recomendation there.

    Oooohhhhh yes, i ususally lost 2 to 3 MPG depending on fuel blend and how cold it was. My paccar HATED the cold. The lonestar aint much happier but i only lose around .25 to .5 MPG and thats only below around -10 or if im running a 90/10 blend or a 100% #1 with some lube additive. But its got an ISX instead of MX.
