I haven't done a road trip in the truck since 2017, and have attempted to reduce my carbon footprint by driving less in the meantime.
We had a death in the family, and air travel has lost it's attraction for me, so I elected to create copious amounts of carbon-dioxide with a 2,890-mile trip to Newport Beach, California and back.
The Plex headlight covers had been destroyed by hail and were missing
Most of the belly pan was off ( All -new exhaust from CAT on back ).
No tail.
I made my way up to I-40 to get away from the heat dome a bit. I drove 70-mph in the slow lane.
40-miles east of Santa Rosa, New Mexico the diffuser was destroyed by potholes and road gators. I limped into a rest area after about 20-miles at 20-mph.
The forwards half of the diffuser was pointing 'backwards' and dragging the ground. I used the hydraulic jack to crush the forwards section up against the rearwards section, then used two motorcycle tie-down straps to secure it where it would clear the road.
I made it on to Southern California for a memorial service, then back on the road for home.
I averaged 30.11-mpg for the trip, which is okay, considering what's missing.
I have a culvert to go in soon, repairing my driveway, needed if I'm to complete the underside.
The concrete in the shop will be next, which will allow attachment of the new ( 2017 ) boat-tail.
And allow a laundry list of other work needed to get it ready for Mooresville, North Carolina.
The engine appears to be fit, at 427,000 miles. And I've got a shot at breaking into 40-mpg territory with the new kit.
As an aside, I got a look at about all extant BEVs in existence while in the Orange County area. And Tesla, Hyundai, Porsche, M-B, and KIA BEVs were doing cross-countries on the interstate.
I think an EV conversion is on the table for Spirit.
