Hello all my friends! I put this in the engine forum because a huge part of the trip is about keeping a journal for yall to read about these great 6.2 and 6.5 engines and I figure more of the folks will see and read it here. This post is about my lil 6.2 na and I going on THE GREAT WESTERN TRIP! I am going to be pulling a small two horse trailer loaded with 300 gallons of wvo veggie oil for fuel and my extra stuff. I will have a self contained slide in camper in the back of the truck. My intention is to camp in the Walmart parking lot most nites. I am going cross country style in that no interstate hiways if reasonablely possible. I would like to visit with any of you here on the forum as I travel. Just invite me and I will swing by if u r close to my travel path. We can have lunch, look at our trucks or just shake hands and get a pic. Of course I am open to camping in anyones driveway that invites me! Hey I am a tightwad, skinflint hillbilly! LOL This trip is financed by aluminum can and scrap metal sales! I have no plans other than to head to Louisiana and see Pepp first and then just head towards whatever else appeals to my sense of adventure. Oh yea I am gonna buy a glow plug relay momentary switch mod thingamajig from Leroy, Burning Oil, but I am too cheap to pay freight so I am gonna drive there n get it! LOL This is gonna be great folks! So sound off if u want me to visit and also tell whats good to go see or experience on my trip. It doesnt have to be in ur area just let me know what u think. My friends say I am crazy to leave on a trip with a experimental truck running on experimental fuel but thats where the EXCITEMENT AND COWBOY CAN DO fun starts! Paul I am definitely going thru Utah so look out! My friends here at home Bob and Chuck say they r gonna come get me if I blow up the truck.... They have Ford powerstrokes, aww thats just NOT GONNA BE COOL guys! LOL I am worried about crossing the Rocky Mountains so anybody know a nice easy way or ways to get thru or around thrm let me know. Mostly I intend to just look where the sun sets at nite and go that way the next day!!!! Ahhh this is going to be great! I intend to leave Orrum Nc. in 7 -10 days so lets start planning some stops.
