He was having Ford look at it and possibly a shop there fix it. First run through they were saying torque converter or front pump. Their tranny guy was going to look at it first thing this AM.

He saw it on Craigs List. And they did want 4000.

I know all about driving, Put 1000 miles on the PSd when the in-laws went to Pismo and I dropped them off and went back 2 days later to get them. However, there was 2 days of solitude[img][/img]</end quote></div>

Talked to the boss today at 4pm. He was on mile 600 of the trip. It's about 375 one way. So he must have been out in the desert somewhere, CA City maybe. Not sure. Going east over Tehachapi he was doing 50, pushing 30psi. Leaving Bishop I guess there's a 6% grade from 5000-7000'. He was pushing 42 and only getting about 10 or 20psi. And the start off (assuming he stopped for fuel) sucked. Trying to get on the road with zero boost (elevation plus it was still spooling up.)

He told me I'm driving next trip. :/ And I think I'm going to be pulling the air compressor. :/ (trailer? What trailer?) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] At least that will only be one way. Coming back, screw the mileage. I'm gonna burn fuel to get home.

Yeah. After the screw up, err I mean upgrade, Raptory was giving the Spinners custom status names. MWQ is KTM Rider, I believe. And he keeps screwing with OFCs. LOL

Well I made it to Mammoth and back. Lots of driving and lots of fuel.

VERY happy with the way the truck performed.

First leg: 212.2 miles, 20.138 gallons for 10.5 MPG. Didn't weigh, but she was probably 16K on the truck and 3000 trailer. Tehachapi was the only major grade (filled up in Piersonville which seems to be dominated by the Shell station. 3.279/gallon. Had no problem keeping 50MPH and 25psi.

Second leg: 300.2, 28.234g for 10.6 MPG. That's a round trip Piersonville to Mammoth Lakes and back. Climb was Sherwin Pass, 6% from 4000' (Bishop) to 7000' (Tom's Place.) Was not much traffic. 45-50MPH pushing 25psi at time. Not sure why the boss was only getting 20psi. Though I have to tell you turbo lag at 7000' from a dead stop trying to cross 395 is a bit disconcerting. Foot to floor...wait...little movement..and at about 3000RPM she took off.

Last leg was Piersonville to Fresno. 218.2 miles, 17.875g for 12.2MPG. I think she's breaking in. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Return trip I was empty.

Was going to stop at Jawbone Station but I would have had to cut off an 18 wheeler to make the exit. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Some gorgeous scenery up along 14 and 395. Red Rock Canyon was pretty sweet. Now I know where all these places are (including Dove Springs.)

it isn't that far away either. Just those pesky mountains in the way. :/ They just need to build a long @ss tunnel from like Shaver or Huntington.
