....Anoter question, since I'm arranging on sharing the trip with another person, is it good that we take turns & let the truck work non-stop for many days (around 50hrs)? Does the engine need rest at all? .....

Naw, just run it until you're out of oil, or one of you falls asleep at the wheel. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Really, should find a REAL bed to sleep in about every third day.

WATER--a gallon for each of you. Stay hydrated and prevent 'the runs' from going through different types of water as you travel, esp with winter driving.

You're winter driving; what kind of shape do you think your tires SHOULD be in???? You can probably pick up a better spare at a junkyard for next to nothing.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
