Took the furnature that I moved with it last night, out of the back to get it ready to drive to work tomorrow. I am hoping for 18MPG average at least on this full front tank. Sensor is bad so I will just have to wait until it runs out to know.

I helped my friends out by hauling a couch and a love seat from storage to my buddies house. Then I helped another friend with kids haul a toy house about 20 miles. Highway driving was slow and steady. I didn't want the roof to blow off and cause an accident.

Fixed this. Added all missing lug nuts on that wheel. Not fun had to go home and get the floor jack.

Very blessed and actually it happened on the highway. Pop and wobble wobble wobble. I thought I had a blow out. (thr lady coming at me in the opposite direction had one) and I thought daing it I just hit whatever it was she hit. Stopped and nothing so I took off again and thud. So I was just pulling back on the highway.

Studs are fin nuts just dropped off one by one until I got to my last one. It never shimmied, shook, wobbled, vibraded, jirated, or <insert some redneck word here> made any indication I was missing any or that any were loose.

Just hand-sawed the 2nd cat off of the exhaust, now im running off of the first cat then dumped, might have to get a y-pipe and extend the exhaust out the sides right behind the rear tires

I'd go with behind the rear tires. Mine dumps at about the back of the cab just before the bed, and around town I like the sound but its a bit noisy over 45 or so.
