Towed our 24' toy hauler from California to Kentucky for a dog show with my '92 D250 5spd years ago and got 14.38 over 4,321 miles. Wasnt in any particular hurry and did 55-65MPH the entire way.

Thanks for the haul! Glad you made it back safe and with no major issues. Ac clutch and tach both close together would not surprise me to be a wire issue.

It was great to finally meet you Brian. I got the issue figured out today. The CPS wire got chafed against a pulley. New CPS and she's good to go

Enjoyed the video. We did a 4,500 mile round trip from california to wisconsin in June in my 93 Club Cab with a 91 Lance cabover camper. No problems with the truck and it's not as good condition as yours. I really need a better transmission, lots of power loss and heat. Worst mileage was about 10.5 and best about 13.5. I had to watch temps; EGT, coolant and transmission, heading west on 90 in West River South Dakota. Had a heck of a head wind and there's more uphill than you would think, it ain't flat. Our second to last stop was at East Canyon State Park in Utah. You probably missed my smoke signal as I passed through the Salt Lake Area!

I have a hitch extension that puts the front of the trailer back another 18”. It saves my camper from damage… but otherwise, same setup: Crewcab, CTD, Lance camper, 20’ trailer + 4’ tongue…

I bought an 18" one for this trip but felt it was too long. I'll probably get a 12" extension

Your truck is awesome 😎 I have a 1990 Cummins w250. Was wondering 💭 how the mileage has been affected with the “road to 600” progress? Would like more power but don’t want to affect the mileage much.
@decentgarage11 ай бұрын
Mileage has still been pretty good. The biggest thing affecting the mileage is the 6x16 injectors. They are huge and do not help but with 6x13 I can still get 16-17 mph

@@decentgarage the puddle gets ahead of the arc which causes a lack of penetration. mig welding uphill is actually pretty easy. i recommend checking out Welding Tips and Tricks here on youtube.
