    BullSnot has an odor remover that I’ve heard great things about. Bought me a can of it at a truck show but haven’t gotten around to using it yet. Might be something to try?

    Yeah it will be a pulling machine once it's cleaned up. I did notice that the rear drive axle tires had some hard shoulder water from the tires scrubbing.

    One thing that really surprised me was the empty fuel economy. Empty weight for the truck and trailer with gear for load securement is just a touch over 50,000lbs. On paper I was able to average 6.16mpg running 65mph. That's a good number in opinion. The reason I drove 65mph is because if and when I put a driver in this truck I only want it to run a maximum of 65mph. At 57mph in 17th I could probably get closer to 6.8mpg. Overall I'm pleased with the truck.

    I had to laugh. You know how reporters always ask really dumb questions? When Reagan was interviewed after getting shot, some reporter asked him what was the first thing he said to his wife when she saw him at the hospital. “Honey, I forgot to duck!”

    The next question asked what was the first thing he would do after returning to the White House. “Find somewhere to sit down.”

    Reagan was like a really good character in a TV sitcom.
