First Road Trip Report
Nothing like taking a project with just 100 miles on it and taking your wife on a little 250 mile road trip to see our grandson. Oh, we don't need no stinkin tools!!!!!!! This thing was put together by the best money can't buy, great friends.
Ran like a champ. Looks like the first tank is in the 14-15mpg range driving at 75/80mph. Still need to install new door seals, the noise on the passanger side is not acceptable. I really miss cruise control so, I hope Double E is working on that. Small bit of vibration between 80/85mph, the team is guessing pinion angle needs some tweeking. And I miss my tunes, so we'll have to start working on that, and the child bride is requesting door locks.
A/C worked great. It was 82 most of the afternoon so we ran it most of the time.
Oh, and I have a stalker. After church sunday, my wife and I went to Sam's to pick up some stuff and a guy walks up to me after we're in the store and asks me if I owned that orange GMC? He had followed me off the highway and then into the store to find out more about it. I guess orange has that affect on some guys.
All in all a great weekend. Now we just need to finish the cruise, sway bars, power trax, lower it a bit and this thing will drive anywhere.
