Hard to be accurate because of dumped in buckets and weird high flow diesel pumps at the rest stop by Rausch that click off instantly, but my educated guess puts me a little over 13mpg.

Granted I started with 3/4 of a tank before topping it off Thursday night, but I spent $48 on fuel this weekend. That is FAWKING awesome.

50/50 on the way down, 60% on the way back. Not too bad on flat, but it has a noticable white haze pulling hills. I was hoping someone would be behind me for a while on the way back to put my mind at ease that it wasn't too noticeable or smelly. Still hoping timing helps.

When I cleaned the intercooler boots, both the of the larger t-bolt clamps on the intercooler broke so I temporarily replaced with a regular hose clamp. That sucked, must have pulled over to pop that back on at least 5 times. As Alex would say, things that really need fixing remind you they need fixing quite often. New clamps ordered.

They look like you are driving a 1988 astro van with a serious oil burning issue when you are at 100% motor oil but who the hell cares. My truck throws out a serious smoke screen at idle

What could go wrong.  The engo it totally safe for lifting stuff as long as your nowhere in the drop range.

Found some concerning rust on the hitch during bed removal. Stick with class V? Or something cheaper and closer rated to my trailer... Or will I regret that? Might not even be cheaper. Will price from Arie.

I'd go to a 2" class V so you're not so limited on drawbars - but you already have this one. If you're not planning on towing piles of trailer and wanting to borrow drawbars then it doesn't much matter.
