This morning I am towing the 5th wheel on I-40 just east of Barstow, going west. There are some short hills of about 4 % that go maybe a mile up, then go
back down, well I am in the slow lane, cruse control on 60 mph, just cruising along, a guy in a 7. 3 Ferd goes to pass me, I hear the fan rev up, some black smoke in my rear view door mirror, he starts to pass me, then runs out of power, and slowly descends back a hundred yards. The grade starts down, he races past me on the down hill, next hill same story. His Wife looks out the side window, I am still at 60, they are maybe 45 mph, I could read her lips, " what kind of truck is that ?" she says, I thought this was very amusing, Ron
