    Loving it. Only thing im having a problem with is cranking it in the morning. Just dropped four batteries in it (free of charge) and its doing the same thing. Any ideas? It only do it once it sit at least 6-10 hrs, but once i get past that first crank, it fires right up how it suppose to

    Is the starter dragging (real slow first crank?), then works fine for the rest of the day once its warmed up? I'd check your cables at the batteries, at the starter, and the grounds as well. Also what is your battery voltage like in the morning? Do you have an APU to keep them charged while you are stopped for the night and still using power on stuff like a fridge, lights, inverter, etc?

    In Idaho Falls, ID. At hotel for the night head for Edmonton, AB tomorrow for a delivery on Friday then deadhead back to Idaho Falls, ID. All miles paid loaded. 1896 from where the trip started. This week should be around 4100 miles. Running harder is not always smarter but with 2k of the miles for this week being totally empty I'm cool with it. I'm only at 1450$ in fuel for the week after is all said and done.
