Well were finished with the trip. We left San Diego CA on the 21st of Feb, and arrived tonight 28 Feb in Evansville IN. We made a short stop in New Mexico for a few days. <br> The following information on the trip is: 5er weight was 12,600. My 2500 pulled it through the Moutians without even breathing hard. Avg. EGT's 1100 prior to downshifting, then out of OD was around 900 depending on the grade. On flat land with the OD engaged was 700 to 800. Tranny temp never got over 150 (ever). Of course it was 20 to 30 degrees outside. Avg. price of fuel: $1.70. Miles per gallon, MT's = 11, flat land 13. Only one problem came up was I blew my trailer fuse (40 amp) and had to replace it. Other than that, I'm completely happy with the performance of my Dodge. Oh by the way, going over the MT's I did pass many Fords carring less WT than I was. There are plenty of car haulers driving dodges, more so than any other brand of trucks I've seen on the road. <br> If you have any questions, I'll be more than happy to answer them. It was a great trip.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
