Thanks for the replies, gents. I really do appreciate them all.

I will take my time, and turn off o/d on any type of hill. Almost 1700 miles due to certain states not recognizing my CC permits, but once I get out of NY, I have a clear CC run all the way down. Looking forward to the scenery.

Thanks again, gang. this really is one of the best forums I have come across. you guys are just awesome!
