    Yes on both.

    Maybe I'll do a fan clutch in Savannah where it's going.

    Guy flies into parking lot.
    Parks next to me, sets brakes while in full reverse about 10 mph, jumps out, slams door, truck and trailer rocking side to side/to and fro, pretty much high steps to the Loves, from back of parking lot.
    I’m thinking, he’s not going to make the toilet, go back to filling out Invoices for loads in my much needed time to sit and rest, then look up again to see his hood flying over, and he’s out there adding Freon, bought 2 cans in store for I bet $20/can, parts store be a lot cheaper...

    C13 cat engine by look of it, much neglected, fan belt squalling..
    I thought dryvan freight paid premium rates.

    That's a picture of ONE of the sisters... After you crest the rise in the distance there is another long downhill followed by another long climb... Then you drop down ANOTHER long grade into Evanston, WY... From from the start of the first downhill to Evanston is about 15 miles...

    So going westbound it is long downhill, immediate long uphill, crest, immediate long downhill, immediate long uphill that gets steeper about halfway up, crest, immediate long curvy downhill, then "Welcome to Evanston"

    @Cat sdp this is taken a few hours north of the sisters... You can't see it because the snow is to deep, but there is a sign that says "Elevation 9659". Togwotee is a much more exciting drive than the sisters... Way less traffic and WAY prettier.

    I've seen Elk, Deer, Moose, Bear, Cougar, and Wolf all on Togwotee in the last year.

    High baller left out of here, I’d say 7-8th gear.
    Is there some race across the lot thing going on?
