Default First long road trip in M920

I'm planning on leaving late friday afternoon on my first long road trip in the M920 to recover a M270A1 trailer From Jwaller. I have been trying to make this trip for over a week and a half but like the weather things change. It was actually for the best because I ended up having to relocate my hitch to fit the trailer. Was wondering if any SS members were near 95 between MD and Lexington SC just in case ? The truck has been gone over and runs like a top , I have done a few hundred miles locally with no issues. I'll have my daughter riding shotgun and we are both excited about the trip. I'll have extreamly limited internet thru my phone. Was hoping to land back in MD either late Sat or wee hrs on Sunday morning. Please PM if you think you will be around.

Thank you !
Jim

Ok off to a crazy start . Started the truck and had a oil leak fron the tach cable. Replaced the seal and seems good. If any of you ever do this be careful when reinstalling the copper line on the air compressor . It can rub the throttle linkage and give you a sticky throttle.

CAN the 5th wheel on the 920 able to handle the 270 king pin ???, I thought the 270 king pin was 2" and the 920 5th wheel was for a 3 1/5" king pin.
