thanks
My wife and boy will be going also but in the new chevy.
I'm leaving maybe 3 or 4 hours ahead of them alone.
there are only a few back/frontage roads. mojave desert, tehachapi pass/58. up 5 or 99 then to Paso Robles. Going to visit a small military historical museum. Also have family near that area.
My main concern is the long stretch where the posted limit is 70 mph, cannot avoid that, the the mountain passes. The passes have 3rd truck lanes I plan to use.
have tools, carb kit, oil, coolant, coil, even picked up a spare Alternator just in case.
Wife in the chase car wont be to far behind so I have that back up.
Like I said earlier, I've never ran the truck for more than an hour at a time. Do not know if other issues may come up.
I do plan and making more stops at least 4 15 minute extra rest brakes.
That topper is very famous.
