It really is the downhill that is hard IMO!
Semis normally going about 15-25 mph depending on the load. |
Tranny temp stayed well below 200.
Engine temp rose to about 230 then after the crest it came right down.

And of course you conveniently failed to mention that the two grades were downhill.

Speak for yourself B, I was less than concerned, in fact, I was hoping he had passed out and Ms. Amy just hooked up and left his sorry rear in the woods hoping she could get a couple of days/nights of peace and quiet without him being around.

Are you kidding me? Can't think of anyone in that category except poor Ms. Amy and she messed up years ago and said "I do" and should have said "I might". Poor lady now has to put up with the sorry soul.
