unccpathfinder Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) Well I pull out of Wilmington NC tomorrow on I40. I figured with my new Phone I could post my progress across the US. Most posts will be during fill ups. I hope she's up for the ride...so far I've put 600 miles on since being back & No major issues so far so hope it stays that way... Just had the ses come on but its just egr function so I hope that doesn't hurt the mileage too bad..

unccpathfinder Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Making a straight dash like last time in the penske truck but this time I get to do the entire I40 in 1 trip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_40 I will probably get a cb tomorrow during a fuel stop for traffic & bear trap information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ahh, got you... When the last portion of I-40, connecting Wilmington to Raleigh, was completed in the late 1980s, Charles Kuralt stated:“ Thanks to the interstate highway system, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.[2] ” LMAO!! I will probably get a cb tomorrow during a fuel stop for traffic & bear trap information Bear traps?? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well, I would hope it could make the trip, it is less distance then to your next oil change, and you would assume your truck can make it to the next oil change right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Bear traps are speed traps I hope It would make it but that's still up in the air Just completed the initial fuel stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
