26,440#s up Monarch Pass, CO.

[CUMMINZ]

During recent 6000 mile trip from NC to Cheyenne to Gallup and home I picked up load of CO. red rock and hauled home. Weighed RV and stone in Booneville, MO. The entire load was 26,440#s. :-laf The 19. 5s and this goat did a great job accending Monarch Pass. Truck photos show how 07. 5 goat hauls the load. Total trip I averaged 9. 5mpg. Exhaust brake did a marvelous job.

What happened with the CEL on your trip west? I think you said low FP?

Man, those are great pictures, the truck and trailer look awesome. How was the trip? I cannot wait to get out west with the truck and fifth wheel. Scotty

Wow is too short of an answer according to the forum guidlines, so I made it longer. WWOOWW!

Trip was a trip of a lifetime. Marvelous... :-laf



After installing MP8, leaving home and accending steep hill on I-77 in WV at high RPMs in 5th gear (68rfe) The engine barffed and engine light came on. Ran fough for a short while. I went to DC dealer in Loiusville. The said code was low fuel line pressure. Removed MP8 in Estes Park, CO. Re-installed it at TS Performance shop in Bowling Green. While pulling another hill in TN. it did it again.
