2.5 hours is a long trip?? Thats just getting the oil warmed up! Yeah the Canejo grade does suck so take the Coast highway then! Mine has seen 5 trips from the west coast to the east coast. Not all without issue. Once I had a heater pipe wear a hole in the oil filter in the middle of the high desert in Az. It was more of a mess and nuisance than anything else. I broke a accelerator cable once in K.C on a Sunday afternoon heading back to LA . I had a pair of vice grips hold it to the pedal linkage and drove it to a family friends house near Wichita where I could work on it and early the next morning I was back on the road. Come to think of it the oil filter issue was on the same trip. SO make sure you have some small locking pliers soft tie wire and duct tape added to your tools list and you will be set!!! And drive it!!!!
