If you can't drive a clutch with 126k on it, you can't drive a stick...period.

Yes, still the original clutch. Can you say "Highway miles"....

Last one I drove was in a 69 Z-28 I had in high school. Back then all I did was floor the accelerator and dump the clutch. I didn't get the kind of miles out of mine like you have

Ahhh, fun times back then. I did a lot of clutch dumpin' too. Nothing quite that nice though...until I get my Vette. But that was much later in life.

I'd gladly take the Z over my truck.

www.transferflow.com is the website for the tank.
Is yours a 5.9 or the new 6.7L with all the limiting EPA emissions crap like mine??? Seriously considering putting on the DPF delete kit but I hate to lose all my warranty. I like that tank, that's a nice possibility. I bet it was fun filling that behemoth when diesel was $4.95

I never plan on even slowing down through there!! I've heard it's a biotch and don't even think of trying to find fuel while going through town! Our plan is to be going through there sometime Wednesday night so we don't deal with too much traffic.

Will start watching for caravan threads going to Havasu!

Mine is the 5.9 and from what I hear I'm glad it is. This summer I tried to fill up everytime I got down to 1/2 tank so I didn't get sticker shock.

My 6.0 Ford pulls the BEAST anywhere I want it to go, stopping was another story, just added elec. over hyd. brakes to the trailer.
No problem now.
