Re: Cross country…or Bust? Long trip for C10..

I drove mine from Cali to Fl. Nice and slow. 5 day trip. Took some time at Motels to check the rig over. Spun a new belt upside down in New Mexico but I had a bed full of Snap-On tools to help out. 2 jerry cans of fuel, 2gallon of oil,1 gallon of gear lube, 1 gallon of trans fluid, tire plugs and a compressor, a spare tire, bunch of cash a bunch of credit, a cell phone, a case of smokes, camp stove and coffee and a small TV extra battery and a dog. Will never forget that trip. 36" swampers for 3000 miles. Not a hiccup til my TCI converter blew up in Fl. About an hour from my final destination. Kept driving cuz it kept moving. Made it though. Lock-up went out. Had to replace the pump and converter.
