no issues this weekend other than ride home my EGT gage kept alarming at 1200+  and my foot and load was not agreeing.  backed off on hills just in case but even on flat ground grade or even coast it was still reading 1050+  doesnt make sence

landed home after 3-5minute cool was reading 800 still..... normally runs down to 350-400 in a few minutes at adle. 

ill check tomorrow what ambient reads 60 or like 360 and just order another gage.


new in 2023 gage bah

Home safe. Trailer wiring needs work and I missed a broken signal repeater on the passenger mirror.

Weird automatic transmission torque management does t give any power in first or second and I hate it already. Need to look into that.

The truck feels like it has great power on the highway but I had a scary left turn once because it has a tenth that much power right off the line. It’s weird.

Lie-o-meter said high 12s to 13.1 grossing 14300 with the i3

Bed is in a little worse condition than I expected. CM typical finish failure.

Brake booster is weeping power steering fluid. No other faults noted beyond a couple cosmetic issues.

Furthest he’d move on price is to include the ramps. I did it.

Split this from the High Miler topic.

Fourth Generation since it's a 4th gen Ram and also my 4th tow rig.
IDI Ford F250 7.3, Dump Bus, High Miler, and now here we are with the 113,500 mile 2018 5500

Insurance was a problem. I got a progressive commercial policy on it after striking out a few times. I’ve had everything with State Farm for 10-15 years and they could not write it - I have not had a commercial policy with them and they aren’t writing any new commercial vehicle customers in NY. Same with the next two I checked.

Have lines out to two independent agents too, but at least I’m covered. Hope the independents can find a bit better rate.

Proof of concept on my 10’ ramps. His are 12’

Aux fuel reinstalled in the i3 (gives gas cap error so had to pull it for inspection)

Ready for Saturday in Ashtabula. Hopefully the dmv in-transit wait isn’t too bad, they’re open 8 to noon. Aiming for 10am arrival.
