Thanks for the info. Did some maintenance to the truck last night, greased the front end, tightened alt belt, reoriented the front battery, topped off some fluids, checked the brakes, etc. While cleaning out the inside I found one of the shackles under the front seat, so now I only need one.

Yea, we stayed off the interstate and took the good old fashion highways and byways! US 40 mostly. I was going to do some homework about putting a tach in here, is a tiny tach our only option? I definitely need to decide which route I'm going to go to get the rpm's down, but I want to leave...

Thanks, it was interesting that's for sure. Took the truck and chain saw up to my buddies house and helped him cut up four downed tree's and get tarps on his roof. His house took a direct hit, good possibility it's a total loss. I need to find a set of shackles for the front, a rearview...

Thanks Astro [thumbzup] My wife and I are leaving the kids with the g'parents and plan on stopping at the Arch on our way through and spending the night here. It's about half way to the where the truck is from St. Louis. We'll grab dinner, spend the night there and pick up the truck Sunday...

Thanks Warthog, some good pointers! It looks like my local Napa has a Gold fuel filter in stock for it for $26. I need to stop in there for oil and filter for my wife's vehicle anyways so I'll grab one (and watch the video). On the speed, is it governed or just because of the 4.56's in it...

Gents, I posted a couple questions in the new members area, but got lost in the shuffle. I'm going to pick up a nice M1008 this weekend in the St. Louis area and I plan to drive it back to Indy with my wife following me in her SUV (I'm sure she'll enjoy driving 55 all day:whistle:) Looks like...
