First long run

Well not that long. Probably about 30 miles round trip but longer than the trips to the store 4-5 miles away. Anyway for the last 2 months my wife and I have been going through the house doing some spring cleaning and with some help from the neighbor managed to get more than enough (truck dropped about 3 inches in the rear) for a dump run.

The truck ran good. Nice and smooth. However I gotta get some sound deadner in there. Its loud. Also when I was on a back road coming home I noticed that no one was around so I slammed on the brakes to see how they would behave and the right rear locked up. So I let off and did it again and the both rears locked up this time about 1 sec before the fronts. Need to get that adjusted.

And I also got a good chirp out of it to. Hey had to make sure that fresh rebuilt qjet was working ok to I forgot how much I like that growl when those secondaries kick it ..
