The Bat's sonar was too slow that night! :lol: Nice to see you still out road trippin it. That stinks about the alt. Nothing seems to be built like it used to be. Keep those receipts in a safe place. In the truck. :lol:

hahahah the batmobile. always something to fix on these things. I feel like running compressors really adds to the strain on the alts. I had a "new" one go on my last build less than 1k miles on it.

Or maybe the turbo whistle messed him up? I drive it as often as I can, it has more miles pulling the trailer than without.

So I took the alt back to the guys that rebuilt it for me originally and the regulator failed and was coming apart, No charge.

Last night I looked over the truck and greased it all up. It's ready for our trip to the 3rd Advanced Design Nationals this Saturday in Franklin Indiana. It's 530mi one way and my son and I are leaving Thursday afternoon, hope to see some of you there.

Well, my son and I had a great trip!! Stopped in a truck stop Thursday night and made it to Franklin by noon Friday, 9.5 hrs of driving 554mi. Met lots of nice people Brian puts on a great show. I think there where 36 AD's registered and total 44 on sight, nice to see so many in one place. We got longest distance and total trip was 1178 mi. Only 2 GMC's there. Drove all the way home on Sunday 8.5hrs. Planning to go back next year.

So last night right after work I drove 1.5hrs to see some not so local boys from Australia who where somewhat local lol. The Skid Factory boys, part of "Mighty car Mods" had raced in Hot Rod's drag week and came up to Canada for a few days. There was a open house at another Youtube channels shop. It was so great to meet the guys Woody, Al and Benny. I watch all there videos and was honored that they checked out my truck.
