      YES! Dan - did you adjust the alignment for optimal land speed performance? C'mon - you got to put that 1/2 turn per side back into it before you drive it on da road! ;-)

      24mpg huh? what speed are you driving? Do you have Michelins on that truck?
      There's always something new to learn.

        No progress report or updates since yesterday morning? Do we need to put out an "All Points Bulletin" for three missing Bangshift speedfreaks in a Dodge Cummins?

          I can vouch for them....updates from the road are tough at times.....we "THOUGHT" we'd do it too on the Calif to Memphis run....didn't happen......the road is long and tough....lol

            long and tough? what, the a/c is broke? perhaps you had to clean bugs off your windshield? I'm sure the pioneers who came across the prairies would sympathize with you and say "boy, I'm glad I didn't have it as tough as those BS guys"

            personally I figure the youngsters, seizing the opportunity to travel faster than "old geezer" dumped the adults off and are on their way to Wally world

              ....Towing or riding in a pick up sucks...our problem was 2 days poolside at the Flamingo in Vegas......hangovers and long hauls didn't mix well......

                I'll attest to riding in a pickup. Mpg sucks at 75 mph and 20-30 mph headwinds. Left Illinois 6:00 am, in Guymon OK for the night. 750 miles.
                You Arizona guys, Albuquerque to Phoenix should I go through Showlow or Flagstaff? Interested in time not scenery.

                  Alright, NOW I'm worried. Radio silence from the roadworthy crew after photos and narrative. Were they hijacked and raped? Or worse?

                  Radio silence. Missing.

                          Ohhhh no. As long as Mary Ann brought enough clothes for three years. Well, better without clothes.

                            Yes we did but it's the "Bakersfield Triangle"

                            We plan on going to Fomoso Dragstrip this morning.....then to Peterson Museum.....Then Sunday is the dry lake bed race at El-Mirage Poor I-net service and broke my laptop.....

                            When the corner got broken it wiped out the on and off switch.....But we managed to straight wire it.
