O.K., just got back from 3 days out of town... I want to leave my palacial estate Saturday morning at 9 a.m. I'm in central Phoenix, Wench, so you may want to consider meeting here?? Roughly 16th St. and Camelback, easy access from the northbound SR-51 to the Highland exit, where you would have to turn, or else you will run into a library. PM me for my phone number...or...wait...I'll PM you. This is getting fun already. Sort of.

The truck still has a vibration that seems like it's coming from the front right corner. I put about 500 miles on it in the past three days and got between 15.5 and 17.5 mpg in various combinations of mostly highway driving. I always paid attention to the speed limits, allowing for the speedo-error with the 33's, and used the cruise control when I could; the a/c when I needed. Anyway, the vibration becomes noticeable above about 65, otherwise it's O.K. I'll keep checking things. On another note, it has pretty well quit spitting oil and there was no noticeable coolant loss from the body lift messing with the heater hoses, but I can still smell coolant on occasion. I think I've had to add less than a quart of oil in the ~1000 miles I've had it. Not bad at all.

Will do on the posting up about the condition of the trail. All reports I've heard has a couple of parts set at "just a little nasty."
