Way to run her hard. Love to hear she is kicken butt. Last Sunday I asked the guy at the pump next to me what he got out of his 6.4 ford and he said 10 mpg empty or loaded. And I have heard of this average multiple times. So your doing great.


Pat.... I'll have you a C Power picked out before you get back.


Good luck guys.

Watch your exhaust temps. I have the same motor, same tranny and its bone stock, I was really shocked how hot the EGR's get, even stock pulling a big load. They say not to let them get over 1300F I can hit that on a flat road with my camper and jeep if I am not careful.

Helluva set up. It will spoil a guy pretty quickly. Mac gave me the reins for several hours, but I pulled a high-speed pass to make an exit for fuel and I haven't been behind the wheel since. :dunno:

Good to see the Big Hank btw, mac enjoyed it.

You're way behind the times I believe that the Tranny is most of the way there by now.

Well we got the Jeeps and tires swapped and we are approaching Denver. Going pretty well other than the occasional nasty DW on WhatRd's XJ with Jim behind the wheel.

P"still looks like Kansass"at

Johnny and Rich arrived early this afternoon at Slickrock with the tranny.

Johnny and Rich arrived early this afternoon at Slickrock with the tranny.

I had nothing to do with it.

Rich went out of his way to pick the tranny up.
