Plan b went into effect
Mrs DADS50 suggested we cut the trip in half. So I left a 4pm Friday. We've stopped for the night and I'll finish the first leg in the morning
The truck has done great so far. Going up the first mountain pass it struggled a bit at 4700 feet. I was in the truck lane. The sewing machine sounded like it was going to loose a needle. Max speed 45 but the trucks were going slower.
Made my first stop in Barstow for fuel and rest. That was about a 3 1/2 stretch.
The only hicupp so far was when I stopped for gas, then restarted and pulled out the truck shut down and coasted, then fired back up. I drove another 2 hours after that .
No problems with my speed. Didn't hold anyone up and the trucks have no problems passing me up. A few thumbs up and o middle fingers.
Here's one pic at Barstow old 58
...pic... 3 junkyards dog banged the fence there. Saw something cool in Barstow. Bunch of cars lineup to see a drive in movie.
Only other problem so far was my gummy worms melted together on the front seat.
Second leg starts in 5 hours after a little rest
I did pack some blocks of wood, wife's cars also has some spare parts.
The reflector tape seems to work well
That's to all.
