3500 and counting. I passed through billings about an hour ago which puts me roughly 7 1/2 hours from spirit lake. The .9 housing on the 80 sure made a difference at altitude. This head wind is killing my mileage though. 14.2mpg on the last tank, and egt's constantly between 850 and 1100

Had a career fair at school today. I pursued my opportunity at caterpillar further and got positive responses. I think I'll play this hand.

4 hours was about bang on. I made it safe, and checked my mileage before I got out. It's currently sitting at 4004 miles. Also those traction bars are hella wicked.

Extra confirmation on the rear ends, 3.07's are the same carrier as a 4:10-down.

4.56 Detroit vs 3.07 carrier, digital caliper showing height difference.

4.10-down Detroit vs 3.07 carrier, 1-2-3 block showing height difference. :lol:

Sending them an email tomorrow with all my findings/proof, then having a nice discussion with Mr. Tech's supervisor about how I felt about my treatment. :x

I'll put it this way. I like when it hits 7-8:30ish when it's basically just semis on the road

Yeah, and there's the added benefit of not that many of them, so I don't have to cancel the cruise very much
