    My statement for last week shows running 3600 miles, leaving the house at 1000 on 7/10 to 1800 on 7/17 when I shut down for the night.

    And one of those days I only drove about 350 miles since I had to sit around in Mississauga waiting to get washed out then dealing with Toronto traffic on a Friday at 1700.

    Run run run haha

    I've about got my blower paid for, my escrow is full and want to tuck a little away before sitting with the bank man about a trailer before I decide to jump onto the lazy train there at Mercer.

    Also waiting on the shakedown of the ELD stuff but I'm not holding my breath on that one since I'm already on 'em.
     
    Razorwyr Thanks this.

    N14 celect+ 13 speed 3.73 rears with a hodgepodged collection of mismatched 11r22.5s. Good low rolling resistance tires are on the soon to buy list. Just wanted to get a comfort level with the truck before i started spending money. Hate to spend 10 grand on stuff that's not absolutely needed only to loose a wrist pin or rear end a win later. The plan is in a couple months once i am comfortable the main expensive components aren't about to crap out, I'll start doing those things like good tires.

    On a related note, does anyone know the difference in weight between an 11r and a low pro? Steel rim vs aluminum? Looking for firm numbers, not guesses. Need to find weight shaving areas so i can put a larger water tank on. The typical 7 gallon tank just ain't enough in my mind. Running out of water sucks.

    Oh and you folks talking bad about 68. Spoiled rotten brats. Try running that road with a 71 series. Today's big horse power big torque engines have no problem on that road.
