You're right Rob, just was surprised to hear that I hadn't had one in 700 miles.

Regens

Finally got around to having the DEF Reflash done. While there had the tech check number of regens. Had 22 in 12,282 miles and claimed my last regen was 700 miles ago. Doesn't make sense if the first 22 were averaging around the mid 500 mile range.

[quote="rpfan"]Another vote for the Hankook! Second set just went on. Ready for this?... 63 K miles out of the [red]rears[/red] (19.5s) and 52 on the [red]front[/red]. Would have had more if a tie rod haddn't gone bad!

It's not always easy but it's something we all should try to do. Life is way too short.

Re: Report Card - 2nd trip

Mike, I liked the mileage on your DIC but I like the 62* temp even more. I wish you could send some of that cool Oregon air our way. We're getting tired of the brutal heat down here.

Re: Report Card - 2nd trip

George, I've read on dieselplace.com that some folks have installed 2" drop shackles on the new body style trucks in order to get more clearance without causing the rig to ride nose high. Something you may want to consider.

Re: towing to rushmore

Mike, Why did you have to rent a vehicle, shouldn't the dealer have provided you with a loaner since it was going to take all day?

Re: towing to rushmore

In the past two weeks I've been stopped at $75, $95 & $100. The $95 one was really a head scratcher.

Re: 2011 GMC 3500 Dully Denali

Rob, My apologies. One of these days I'll remember to look at signatures before I comment. I did not notice you have a ford. The info I provided only applies to GM trucks. Sorry :(
