Sold my daily driver to a follow member and tomorrow I'm headed to New Jersey to deliver it. My truck is PACKED with parts. Spare engine, tranny, hoods, seats, etc, etc, etc. Mapquest says it's just under 1,100 miles.
Wish me luck....   |

Here are the numbers....
Total miles = 2,193 Overall miles per gallon, up and back = 17.13 mpg. Not bad for a V-6. Total spent on gas = $390.00 One toll was $23.00. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Pulling an empty trailer back was easy, almost too easy. The trailer is aluminum and very light. It was jumping off the ground when I would hit bumps. I could see the tires come off the ground. This would also jack the truck all around and the ride was like a old roller coaster. I stopped at a Lowes and bought 250 pounds of playground sand in bags and put them in the back of the truck. This helped the ride quality of the truck a whole lot. Today I took the sand back to Lowes and got my money back. I also borrowed a spare tire from Northern Tool. Returned that today too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
