Got my 15L Cat APU hummin along at 1000rpm.
But I dont stay away from mega truck stops as much as possible. This place is dark, has an old blacktop parking lot that is half coveres in dirt, and there's no lines for a mega driver to take 15min line up with. #realtruckstopsforlife.thelushlarry, FlaSwampRat, WesternPlains and 2 others Thank this. -

Come on now....Dave_in_AZ, WesternPlains and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
I don't remember ever seeing over 5 feet of snow in Amarillo TX...

And like I wrote here before.. I don't miss the snow... not at all...
