Well Im back from my long trip home to Iowa in my truck. Nothing went really and the truck ran like a dream. My distributor hold down broke towards the end of the trip so my timing advanced itself a bit too much when I accelerated and pinged like crazy but that was a cheap fix. Got about 12.5-13.5 mpg the whole way 2400 miles. Spent $572.36 on just gas alone on the trip so it was spendy but a fun trip. I got a lot of good comments on my truck on the highway and off by people which made me proud. Over all was a good trip but im glad to be back. Now I gotta start payin off my credit card.
