I had to change the fuel filer. I haven't drove this CUCV-II in over a year. Stopping at exit 305 to get fresh fuel and food.

Truck is pulling good. On the way up 5 lbs of boost at a speed around 70 mph and temp of 180. Now with the ISU on the trailer, 9 lbs of boost at a speed of 68 and temp at 205.

Just crossed over the Florida border.

Going to try and make it to the flying-j at exit 305 and eat, then rest for a few hours. 339 miles till I'm home.

Made it to Vero Beach around 2:30 this morning. Had to pull over for a few hours.

Made it home around 09:00 this morning after dropping off the trailer in Port St. Lucie.

Everything went well.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Good news Sir.

 

[Stonepicker1]

I dropped the ISU-90 off the trailer last night. Used a come-a-lone to twist it sideways and pull it most of the way off the trailer.

I had my trailer winch cable hooked up to finish dropping it to the ground. Took all about 2 hours to do.
