Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

Kind of embarrassing, but Hazel just got her first bath in about 8 months after living outside because there is another truck in the garage. She still cleans up nice. Bonn likes to attack spray out the nozzle, so he kind of got a bath too

Last weekend, my wife and I drove her about 3.5 hours down to Rockport TX for a fishing weekend and back. This is actually the 2nd time we've taken her on that trip. She does really well on the freeway with the NV4500. Only doing about 2700 RPM at 75-80. Seriously considering taking her on a long roadtrip to Indiana and N. Carolina. I think she could do it fine, but dang she's noisy at highway speed. Mostly the NV4500 in 5th gear. I've had it in at a reputable transmission shop, one of few around here that work on manual transmissions, and they can't find anything wrong to explain the noise. But... It would be a fun trip.
