Hitting the road...Alaska to Texas

[snug]

My family and I will be driving out of Alaska this Saturday headed for San Antonio Tx. (Randolph AFB)

We are driving a white 2002 Dodge 3500 with a car hauler in tow. Keep us in your prayers for safe travel and give a wave if you see us in your area.

I have a TDR grill badge.



Thanks,

Doug

Have a safe and uneventful trip Doug. If you're passing through ND at all (out of your way, I know... ) Give me a shout. My prayers are riding with you.

Have a good trip Doug, prayers are sent. I'm heading out from Travis to Sheppard next week, and i thought that was going to be some driving

We'll be waiting for you here in SA, with a big bowl of menudo, some barbacoa tacos, and Big Red!

Well we are 2000 miles into our journey. Spending the night in Edmonton, actually the weekend. The family wants to check out the "world's largest mall", so I figured what the heck.



The drive is going great and the truck has been towing like a beast. I am towing around 10k lbs, but it's the lenght that makes it tough. The trailer is a 37ft tripple axle double car hauler. I have my car and ATVs on there.



I have DDP 75 injectors, exhaust, Edge EZ on level 2. I reset the Smarty back to stock and it has been running great. At level 4 it built boost way to fast and the EGTs climbed. I have been able to run the grades at 60-65mph and keep the EGTs under 1100. I have been able to keep them at 600 or less on the level hwy.



Can't wait to get the truck washed though, it is filthy!

Try your best to leave Canadian weather in Canada. We are enjoying perfect autumn temps, so please don't screw it up!:-laf

Beat you out Snug. Left October 5 and the snow chased me all the way down to Ft. Nelson then picked up again in New Mexico. Southern California and Texas were nice. Had to pull all the lights off the front of the truck because I was overheating. I've had the truck for 10 years and finally got to use the air conditioner for the first time in L. A. We are now in Florida in the 80 degree heat and enjoying not being in sub zero temps. Good luck in your new station.

Best of luck with the rest of your trip. I sure hope you are taking some good pictures of the sights that you can share with the rest of us. A road trip to Alaska is on my list of must do's.
