    @wore out it was a good stop.

    So I've been trying VERY hard to get good mpg this trip, keeping it under 10lbs of boost and running 55-60.

    I topped it off until it about spilled out in Ohio, then i just got fuel here in Missouri.

    1020 miles since Perrysburg and I topped it off really good here because fuel was 2.99...

    118 gallons

    That's 8.6mpg pulling a Conestoga, very slow ride tho and I've been loaded under 20k the whole trip.

    Still at Rawze's house, truck is running great. Had brake work and four new tires installed on Monday, the work they did needs to be redone, imagine that.

    Long story, I blew out my knee, as big as a grapefruit right now, can barely walk and no way I can work on the truck right now, I can barely stand, much less get up from crawling around under the truck.

    I'm heading over to Mr Hagg's shop tomorrow to have the work fixed from the other shop, he told me today over lunch to do just that. Worse part, Rawze does not want me to leave until the weekend, LOL! He said stay a few more days! Can't make this sheet up. Rawze keeps pointing at the property for sale across the street! LMAO!!!!

    I need to get back to work... Seriously. I'm broke.

    18th between 1200-1325 and I just let the engine do the work keep very light pressure on the fuel pedal and under 10lbs of boost.

    It just seems to do fine climbing the small rolling hills out here just chugging along and the pyro is staying cool.

    A couple of the bigger hills I dropped a whole gear and climbed at 45, that said I could've mashed the pedal and went over them 80mph I'm really not using much motor and I'm trying hard to get good economy.

    I like it. Wish I could do that, but I’m always heavy and in a hurry. Some days I don’t get half that fuel mileage. Lol.
