First fuel economy numbers coming in a few days, so far conditions have been less than ideal.
3 out of 4 days so far have had horrible cross winds.
Did two maintence engine runs, one for weak batteries and the other for fixing coolant system pressurization problem, about 15 minutes each.
I'm not running an intercooler.
Water injection has been removed for winter time.
Rear bumper has been removed to adapt a pickup step bumper.
I have hauled 2 loads of wood, one run was about 50 miles round trip and the other was less than 10 miles.
Also I picked up a pair of used 3/4 ton, 8 leaf springs to go on the back.
Not sure yet when I will put them on.
