    little over 550k
    Couldn’t see paying as much as they wanted for a Cascadia around here. They want 50-60k for a Cascadia. I got that one for 30k… just have to see how Mack’s do.

    I have a Volvo now. Have it for 10 months. It's like a mini van. I don't like the 11 to 12 shift, it's a long shift. I'm used to it now. When I would have that much of a pause on the cascadia, something was dieing.

    I have retreads on my drives. They were new retreads when I bought the truck. Hauling a dry van for two weeks. I'm getting 7.8 mpg. When I pulled a step I was normally 6.5 to 7.2 loaded. I still have on the headache rack, it's empty except my predator generator, 2.5 gallons of gas, and 2 short chains. So there air gap is bigger than it should be.

    I think you trailer isn't super smooth. So I dont know how much flow below will help.

    the the apu on kw I could get 6.2-6.5, before was about 5.5-5.7.
    I closed it up as far as I can without hitting tarp motor on fairing, or the back flow below piece. This truck has some tires, some recaps.front drives are tires. 3 on rear are recaps. Maybe ok this winter, to much tread to throw away. They’re probably 80% left


    I didn’t even know how to open the hood… had to ask the salesman… I looked at most but he seen me looking for latches, who knew it was upfront under grill…?:rolleyes:

    I'm a lover of grits, and I'm sure there are others that enjoy them also. I know ElmerPudF does so I have a question for him or anybody that would know. Outside of a few times of having shrimp and grits for supper, grits have been eaten for breakfast. Last night at a shindig for my wife's work bunch they served chicken something and I thought mashed potatoes. I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but if I'm hungry enough they will be eaten. Anyway, long story short, they weren't potatoes but were grits and were delicious. Anybody know what they are called or how to make them? I got to have more!!
