    Rite aid Liverpool getting all 11,000 off the wagon.

    Don't exact specs on what the pump guy did but he did say the stock supply pump won't be enough

    I get about the same low 5 in the left lane and maybe 6 in the right lane with a midroof 379 and 550 E model. Just curious if the same old driveline and lead foot wouldnt get about the same mileage with a sleeker aero body.

    I had a 1999 FLD with a 500hp Detroit, straight 10sp, 22.5 low pros and 2.64 rears. That truck would get 8+ mpg running 60 to 65, didn't matter what you threw at it. Only thing it asked for was a gallon of oil every week.

    I’m dragon butt more so than usual. If that’s what you’re asking.

    took me a whopping 1 hour to untarp and roll, almost 2 hours to from arrival to sending my “what’s next” phone call to dispatch.

    now I get to twiddle my thumbs and wait for the office folk to find something... history states there’s a 100% chance I’ll be at headquarters tonight though :)

    set back or set forward they are so far beyond ugly that they almost come back around to being desireable, in an ole skool kind of way. Almost.

    I can say that because I have the SD version, and it's even uglier, if that's possible. Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking when I wrote the check for it........

    One of the most durable, trouble free trucks on the road though. IMO. (If you're hauling 80k or less)
