Vegas Teacher Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Howdy all...... Hey I am in the final countdown for what will be my first big trip, leaving on Monday at 5:00 a.m. Went to see my mechanic today he was going over all of my systems for me today and doing a parked regen just to make sure the truck was ready. So if you read this please think some good thoughts for us on our trip. Thanks, Cory O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When learning a new vehicle, don't turn on the radio. Well, at least not very loud. Get comfortable with the subtleties of the sounds, and especially the vibrations. Pay attention to where you interface with the vehicle, especially your feet. You'll be amazed at what those floor boards can divulge.

JPL Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Cory Have a great trip and remember if you get out here to the east coast of Va we can put you the 5er and the truck up for your visit with power and drainage. And a tour the the worlds largest naval Base. Just relax and enjoy the scenery. Have a great summer!! Pat The Old Sailor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joy of owning an old truck! With that being said, I've put about 13k miles on mine since buying it a year ago, and the sucker does what it's supposed to do every day without complaint.
