Well, long story short i drove from northern Ohio to southern Nebraska yesterday! Delivered a 469 cu procharger motor for a customer racing in Vegas who blew there’s in qualifying.

Truck was a beast and took it with no questions! Averaged 17.2 MPG with 22x12 wheels and 305/45 nitto tires which i was very impressed with.

Folded up the rear seat and took a small nap before i headed back. I’m 6’2” 225lbs and was very comfortable laying down back there lol

Only complaint i had was the uconnect jumping around while driving. Not a huge deal was just annoying trying to multitask sometimes.

Nothing crazy to talk about so here’s the few pictures i took lol DA68D85B-6CDB-4A91-9E15-361998E75780.jpeg 2E5F3E06-B4D2-435D-8B07-E13131F9D860.jpeg 30E690AF-E642-4B7E-B0A0-D93D6CC99BB7.jpeg BD769AA3-DFBA-47F2-9D7D-19473A2C5305.jpeg 0CBC1869-DA5C-4C81-B7FE-E89A73ECB9D9.jpeg

I've been doing 4 1200 mile trips a year. 19 hours is my average without my car trailer and 21 with trailer. I'm getting too old for that now. Planning 2 non-stoppers next year once in May and the back in August. It'll be dragging my trailer. It takes me a couple days to recover now.

How about a picture of the engine........
