We all owe a great thanks to Threasa ( for saying yes and hostessing) and Brian for all the hard work.
Great food, perfect setup.

Russ. What did you find with the coolant leak??? Some time ago I also had a small pin hole leak in the upper radiator hose. turns out it of course was a new hose and the way they are shot with the plastic loops so they can be hung on the display hooks was a little too close to an end. Suree pissed me off finding that leak after replacing that hose. so drain out coolant till I can remove hose and cut off the offending piece. Sure taught me a lesson in examining closely whatever I buy.

We have landed at home, safe and no issues. Gary, 2 year old hose was splitting. No more leaky, but it blew an alt belt about halfway to Stockton from Calvin's. Those I had behind the seat

Stockton a.k.a. the Armpit of California (with Bakersfield being the other armpit).

Glad you made it home safely ;Sweet hope to see you at Labor Day!

We brought the hummus, sorry, lol

So as those who were there know, the dually got a turbo before we started this trip. With no fuel turned up or timing adjustments we went from under 10 mpg on last years trip and a slug on hills to 13.2 overall and cruised up hills effortlessly . Hope this helps some with turbo decisions.

BTW its a stock ford turbo setup, no mods, which goes against everything I stand for , having stock stuff. LOL
Some pics for your enjoyment.

the hummis was good, altho my son looked at me and said, " youre eating hummis"? but he said it with a lisp...
after i died laughing, i told him i was eating man status chip dip.
then....
i ate the whole thing.

the taters were good, but i think Mason and Orion loved them more.
