Took the truck for a 3hr there and back drive… findings

Truck will cruise at 110km/h, 180dg, 2800 rpm and 50psi of oil pressure all day long. Sitting in stop/go traffic temps went up to 200 and came back down quickly with some air flow.

Allegedly it will also break the tires loose at will.

And it’s noisy as all get out inside the cab.

Looks like I lost one exhaust tip and the clamp. The gas gauge also packed it in… grr. Also running a little rich so the carb needs to be re jetted

All in all a pretty decent shake down run.. truck makes me happy as can be
